Produced from 1983 to 1991, the BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is a true legend in the history of distortion pedals. Its signature “chainsaw tone” with all knobs maxed is the defining voice of Swedish death metal, and the slightly milder sides of its personality can be heard on tracks from mainstream to shoegaze. After years of requests from hardcore HM-2 fans, the iconic stomp is now reborn three decades later in a special Waza Craft edition. The HM-2W delivers the authentic analog sound of the original in all its glory, coupled with lots of modern refinements for enhanced performance. Standard mode delivers the original HM-2 tone with lower noise and maximized level. Custom mode provides a more aggressive sound variation with special Waza Craft tuning. Premium buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed. BOSS five-year warranty.
