Produced from 1983 to 1991, the BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is a true legend in the history of distortion pedals.Its signature “chainsawtone” with all knobs maxed is the defining voice of Swedish death metal, and theslightlymilder sides of its personality can be heard on tracks from mainstreamto shoegaze.

After years ofrequests from hardcore HM-2 fans, the iconic stomp is now reborn three decades later in a special Waza Craftedition. The HM-2W delivers the authentic analog sound of the original in all its glory, coupled with lots ofmodern refinements for enhanced performance.
