The BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is an iconic distortion pedal that made its debut in 1983. Celebrated for its 'chainsaw tone', this pedal became synonymous with Swedish death metal, often used by notable bands in the genre. The HM-2W is a modern Waza Craft edition that captures the authentic sound of the original while incorporating enhancements for improved performance. It features two distinct modes: Standard mode, which replicates the original tone, and Custom mode, which offers a more aggressive sound. Built with quality components and a focus on analog sound, the HM-2W stands as a testament to BOSS's commitment to creating exceptional guitar effects.
