Boss HM-2W Heavy Metal Waza Craft

After years of requests from hardcore HM-2 fans, the iconic pedal is 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 many modern refinements for enhanced performance. When the HM-2W is in Standard mode, the sound and response of the original HM-2 is reproduced with 100% authenticity. A few modern enhancements have been added without altering the sound, including reducing background noise and increasing the maximum level by 3 dB. And with the premium Waza Craft pad, the sound is enhanced when the pedal is bypassed. By pushing each button all the way, you get the sound of Swedish death metal, and you can create a wide range of sounds for other styles with the sensitive distortion and color controls. The HM-2W's Custom mode offers a similar sound to Standard mode, but with a bit more of everything. The attack stage has a bit more gain and includes more of the fundamental guitar tone for additional attack and sharpness. In addition, the characteristics of the bass and upper mids have been modified to provide more fullness and definition.
