Produced from 1983 to 1991, the HM-2 Heavy Metal is a legendary pedal that has etched its name into the history of distortion pedals. The chainsaw tone it produces with all knobs turned to maximum has firmly established itself as the core sound of death metal music, which originated in Sweden. It has also earned high praise from shoegaze guitarists who create thick walls of sound with distortion. Driven by the passionate requests from these enthusiastic fans, BOSS decided to revive the HM-2 as part of the WAZA CRAFT series. The HM-2W is here, featuring an analog distortion sound that perfectly reproduces the original, along with a custom mode with special tuning.

Legendary Death Metal Sound In 1983, during the height of the heavy metal boom, the HM-2 was released as a unique model at the time, recreating the sound of early 80s British stack amplifiers that metal guitarists loved so much, in an effects pedal. With its unique and aggressive sound focused on the midrange, the HM-2 caught the eye of death metal guitarists in Sweden and soon became a core piece of equipment for Swedish death metal. The desire for the return of the HM-2, which had defined an era, grew stronger, drawing in the next generation of guitarists, and finally, BOSS responded to this passionate request by reviving the HM-2 as part of the WAZA CRAFT series.

Standard Mode: Faithful to the Original HM-2 Sound. Standard Mode perfectly reproduces the tone and response of the original HM-2. By setting all knobs to their maximum values, that iconic chainsaw tone rings out. Meanwhile, improvements using modern technology have been made throughout. Ground noise has been reduced, and the maximum LEVEL value has been increased by 3dB. Furthermore, a premium buffer has been incorporated to ensure a pure guitar sound when bypassed. The HM-2W thoroughly refines the basic performance of the pedal without sacrificing the original's characteristics.

Custom Mode: For even more aggressive distortion. In Custom Mode, you can achieve a more aggressive distortion while maintaining the character of Standard Mode. By specially tuning the gain circuit, you can obtain even stronger distortion while emphasizing the sharpness and attack of the sound. The characteristics of the low and mid-high frequencies have also been readjusted, resulting in a sound that combines high density and clarity.

Inheriting the iconic appearance
The HM-2W is meticulously crafted not only in terms of sound but also in its appearance. The iconic color scheme, as well as the lettering size and placement on the panel, are faithfully reproduced from the original. Furthermore, the mode switch, a feature found in all WAZA CRAFT series models, has been relocated to the top of the unit rather than the top panel, preserving the original design's presence while bringing it back to life.

Condition: No problems with use. Accessories: Box
