Key Info
21st century chainsaw
The HM-2's reputation has become near-mythical due to its unique distortion properties and rarity in recent years. Building on this legacy is the Boss HM-2W Waza Craft Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal. Lovingly recreating all the tonal character of the iconic original, Boss gave it the Waza treatment to drag the chainsaw-esque toneset into the modern age. Designed to optimise tonal brutality, the 'suspension bridge' EQ curve features two prominent peaks and a trough between. The low peak sits right on the fundamental frequency of the low E string meaning any chugging is going to pack a serious punch. The mid-bass dip is centered around 240Hz which was placed to remove any muddiness that may emerge. The second peak boosts the midrange, which is mostly comprised of odd-order harmonics creating a generous crunch. These combine, along with the extreme gain boost, to deliver crushingly powerful distortion with the distinctive grit that creates the 'chainsaw' tone.
Modernised
The layout of the HM-2W is the same as its predecessor so dialing in mammoth tones will feel instantly familiar. Four orange knobs give you all the tools needed to carve out crushing, grinding distortion with ease:
Level - Controls global outputted volume. L - Adjust the prominence of your bass response. H - Adjust the prominence of your treble response. Dist. - Alter the intensity of the effect. At higher settings, this maximises gain through the op-amp for devastatingly powerful distortion. All with a lower noise floor, and however you dial in, your heavy tone just got even heavier. The enclosure itself is exactly what you expect from Boss- robust and reliable. Built to be tour-ready, whether on stage, in the studio, or just practicing, the sturdy housing ensures your heavy tones remain uncompromised. And with its eye-catching aesthetic, this pedal is bound to become a mainstay on your board, a hotline to instantly unlocking ground-shatteringly thick distortion.
