Description

The BOSS HM-2W Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal recovers the pedal sound that defined heavy music from the 80s and 90s, and expands it into modern music styles at the touch of a button.

The BOSS HM-2W is a distortion pedal tailored for heavy metal, designed after the classic HM-2, one of the most popular BOSS pedals produced between 1983 and 1991. This pedal defined the sound of Nordic death metal but its own texture can also be appreciated in many musical styles that needed a focused distortion in the mid-ranges.

Mainly used to define the base tonality of guitars, the HM-2 was the first layer in the sound of guitarists looking to replicate the sound of British amplifier stacks of the early 1980s.

The Waza Craft series has regained the original look and sound of the HM-2 and brought it to life with an expansion in the HM-2W. To get the original sound just keep the selector at the top of the pedal in Standard mode or switch to Custom mode for modern and even more aggressive tones.

The controls on the BOSS HM-2W are very easy and offer a huge variety of choices for a deceptively simple effect. The two COLOR MIX controls adjust specific frequencies for greater precision in defining the sound: the H (High) adjusts the tone at frequencies around 1kHz and the L (Low) works in the 100hz range. LEVEL adjusts the pedal volume and DIST. sets the amount of distortion applied.

The Waza Craft series recovers the characteristics of the original pedals and, in the case of the BOSS HM-2W, they had the utmost attention to detail, keeping the colors and lettering as in the original model.

As it is a BOSS pedal, made particularly for more aggressive musical styles, it has a robust construction capable of withstanding the most violent performances and intensive use.

BOSS has been one of the most highly regarded brands in guitar pedal construction for over 40 years, producing some of the most iconic models in the history of music. Boss pedals have shaped the sound of some of the most important artists of the last few decades.

Have a bit of past and future history at your feet with BOSS HM-2W Heavy Metal Distortion and texture your sound with a classic and timeless effect.
