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 tracksfrom 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.

• Special edition Waza Craft pedal for the ultimate BOSS tone experience
• Authentic HM-2 appearance
• Standard mode delivers the original HM-2 tone with lower noise and maximized level
• Custom mode provides a more aggressive sound variation with special Waza Craft tuning
• Premium buffer for clean and clear tone when bypassed
• BOSS five-year warranty
• 9V battery included

Dimensions (L x W x H): 129 x 73 x 59mm (5-1/8 x 2-7/8 x 2-3/8 inches)
Weight: 440g (1 lb)

Standard Mode: The Original HM-2 Sound
When the HM-2W is in Standard mode, the tone and response of the original HM-2 pedal is reproduced with 100-percent authenticity. BOSS also added some modern improvements without affecting the sound, including reducing the noise floor and expanding the maximum level by 3 dB. And with the premium Waza Craft buffer on board, the sound is improved when the pedal is bypassed. Cranking every knob all the way up is the sound of Swedish death metal, and you can conjure a wide range of tones for other styles with the sensitive distortion and color controls.

Get Even More Aggressive with Custom Mode
The HM-2W's Custom mode offers a similar sound character to Standard mode, but with just a little more of everything. The drive stage offers a bit more gain and includes more of the fundamental guitar sound for extra attack and sharpness. In addition, the low and high-mid characteristics have been tweaked to provide increased fullness and definition.

Le meilleur endroit si vous cherchez une bass/guitare Fender custom shop. J’ai découvert Gérald Musique via Reverb et acheter une Jazz Bass custom shop. Le service a été super. J’ai commandée une deuxième bass Fender Custom
Shop auprès de David et son équipe. Ils ont été très serviables et m’ont répondu et placé ma commande chez Fender en moins de 24hr. Les délais de livraison était de 12 à 14 mois, mes commande a été remplit 6 mois plus tôt que prévue. La communication aussi a été excellente.

Super service et super inventaire de produits Fender Custom shop en stock. Je recommande fortement Gérald Musique si vous considérez acheter une Fender Custom Shop.

This place rocks! I was looking for a very specific guitar all across Canada and I found it in this gem of a shop located in Quebec. The people I dealt with there, namely Eric, were absolutely amazing. Very accommodating and helpful. I would buy from here again in a heartbeat. The guitar arrived in Victoria on time, quickly, very well packaged and I'm not even kidding when I say it was perfectly in tune out of the case and beautifully set up. I don't think that's ever happened in all my years of buying instruments. Thank you to Gérald Musique!

I recently purchased a digital piano from Gerald Musique and I am writing this review because I was completely amazed by their exceptional customer service. The purchase was smooth and the delivery experience was amazing. I received excellent communication regarding delivery options, dates and times. Delivery was prompt and professional. I would highly recommend Gerald Musique and will share my experience many times because it was just that good. Well done Gerald Musique, you are awesome.

Belle boutique d'instruments de musique, matériel récent en stock. Très belle sélection de guitares (particulièrement les acoustiques et semi-acoustiques). J'ai acheté une guitare Gretsch. Le prix était plus bas que toutes les autres boutiques en ligne au Canada! À la livraison le propriétaire a pris le temps de me montrer des modèles similaires et quelques trésors de sa collection. Une belle expérience d'achat.

I took a chance buying a guitar online from this shop and it's by far the best guitar I own. Made in Canada beauty, the Godin Session 59T. The price was incredible as well as they took a very reasonable offer. Everything about the guitar was perfect including the carrying case it came in. Absolutely no complaints and I would love to buy from this shop again.
