Description
- The BOSS HM-2W Heavy Metal is a Waza Craft recreation of the legendary HM-2 distortion pedal, delivering the iconic Swedish “chainsaw” tone made famous by death metal. Standard mode faithfully reproduces the original HM-2 sound with a lower noise floor and 3 dB higher output, while Custom mode adds more gain, attack, fullness, and definition for a more aggressive character. Featuring authentic orange-and-black styling, sensitive distortion and color controls, a premium buffer, and rugged BOSS construction, the HM-2W combines classic analog tone with modern performance refinements.
