From 1983 to 1991, the BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal became a true icon in distortion pedal history. Its famous 'chainsaw tone' at full knob settings is the voice of Swedish death metal. You can also hear its milder tones in mainstream and shoegaze tracks. After years of requests from HM-2 fans, this legendary stompbox is reborn in a special Waza Craft edition. The HM-2W offers the pure analog sound of the original, along with modern improvements for better performance.
Features:
- Special Waza Craft edition for the best BOSS tone.
- Looks just like the original HM-2.
- Standard mode gives the classic HM-2 tone with less noise and higher volume.
- Custom mode provides a more intense sound with special Waza Craft tuning.
- High - quality buffer ensures a clean tone when bypassed.
Using the BOSS HM-2W Waza Craft Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal is easy. First, connect your guitar to the input of the pedal and the output to your amplifier. You can choose between the Standard and Custom modes. In Standard mode, you'll get the original HM-2 tone with reduced noise. Turn the knobs to adjust the sound to your liking. The Custom mode offers a more aggressive sound, so play around with it to find your perfect tone. When you're not using the distortion effect, the pedal's premium buffer keeps your guitar's tone clean and clear.
As for maintenance, keep the pedal in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on the pedal, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they may damage the pedal's surface. When transporting the pedal, put it in a protective case to prevent any physical damage.
