Produced from 1983 to 1991, the HM-2 Heavy Metal is a legendary pedal that has left its mark on the history of distortion pedals. The chainsaw tone, achieved by turning all the knobs to their maximum, has firmly established itself as a core sound in Swedish death metal music. It has also garnered 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. With an analog distortion sound that perfectly replicates the original, and a custom mode with special tuning, the HM-2W was created. [Standard Mode: Faithful to the original HM-2 sound] Standard mode perfectly replicates the tone and response of the original HM-2. Setting all knobs to their maximum values unleashes that iconic chainsaw tone. Meanwhile, modern technology has been used to improve the design in several places. 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 unique 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. Special tuning of the gain circuit provides even stronger distortion while also emphasizing the sharpness and attack of the sound. The low-frequency and mid-high-frequency characteristics have also been readjusted, resulting in a sound that combines high density and clarity.Condition: No problems with use. Parts requiring acknowledgment: None. Accessories: Box. Warranty: No warranty. Sold as is.
