A Death Metal Staple
The original Boss HM-2 is regarded as one of the first amp-in-a-box pedals brought to market, designed to emulate the sound of early 80s British amp stacks pushed to their limits Funnily enough, the HM-2 experienced its biggest popularity spike towards the end of its production run, when seminal Swedish death metal bands widely adopted the unit to form the mid-focused and saturated guitar tones that ferociously cut through in their recordings Over the years, players have coveted this distinctive sound more and more The pedal s vast influence led to ongoing calls for Boss to resurrect it, which indeed they have, but the HM-2W is much more that just a fan service stompbox
