A Metal Legend Returns Produced from 1983 to 1991 the BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is a true legend in the history of distortion pedals. Its signature “chainsaw tone” with all knobs maxed is the defining voice of Swedish death metal and the slightly milder sides of its personality can be heard on tracks from mainstream to shoe gaze. After years of requests from hardcore HM-2 fans the iconic stomp is now reborn three decades later in a special Waza Craft edition. The HM-2W delivers the authentic analog sound of the original in all its glory coupled with lots of modern refinements for enhanced performance. Standard Mode: The Original HM-2 Sound When the HM-2W is in Standard mode the tone and response of the original HM-2 pedal is reproduced with 100-percent authenticity. And with the premium Waza Craft buffer on board the sound is improved when the pedal is bypassed. Get Even More Aggressive with Custom Mode The HM-2Ws Custom mode offers a similar sound character to Standard mode but with just a little more of everything. The drive stage has a bit more gain and includes more of the fundamental guitar sound for extra attack and sharpness. In addition the low and high-mid characteristics have been tweaked to provide increased fullness and definition. Every Waza Craft pedal features a mode switch for extended range and its been moved to the top on the HM-2W to preserve the authentic control layout of the HM-2.
