HM-2W Heavy Metal Waza Craft Distortion
The Boss HM-2W Heavy Metal is a Waza Craft reissue of the iconic HM-2 distortion pedal, celebrated for its high-gain "chainsaw" tone. Originally released in the 1980s, the HM-2W offers both Standard and Custom modes for versatile distortion. Perfect for metal and heavy rock, the HM-2W delivers a thick, saturated tone reminiscent of early '80s British amp stacks. The HM-2W has enhanced performance with a premium buffer for improved signal integrity. A must have for guitarists seeking classic distortion, the HM-2W is a modern take on a legendary effect, making it an ideal choice for guitarists wanting to emulate the sound of Marshall BluesBreaker or other iconic distortion sounds.
What BOSS say about the HM-2W Heavy Metal Waza Craft Distortion
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.
