The Boss HM-2W Waza Craft Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal sees the iconic heavy metal pedal get its long-awaited Waza recreation. One of the most influential pedals of all time the Swedish death metal genre was built around the monolithic grinding tones presented by the original produced from 83-91. With choice upgrades and full retention of the HM-2s unique character this new version arrives to modernise a classic. A personal favourite of David Gilmour and Entombed the distinctive tones quickly caught the attention of those seeking true sonic destruction. The common setting is to crank every control to 10- really! Untapped gain hard asymmetrical clipping and the signature suspension bridge EQ curve mean that when maxed out this pedal really starts to roar. Featuring a brand new Custom mode this pushes the HM-2W into even more extreme sonic territory. More gain more responsive EQ and a lower noise floor gives extended flexibility ideal for down tuning.

Devastating distortion with expanded functionality means the HM-2W has well and truly delivered on the hype.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
