PRELOVED Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Pedal

The Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal is one of the most iconic distortion pedals ever produced. Originally released in 1983, it has earned legendary status thanks to its aggressive gain structure, powerful EQ section and the unmistakable "chainsaw" tone that became synonymous with Swedish death metal.

This particular pedal is fully functional and sounds exactly as it should. Please note that the LED indicator is not working, however the effect engages and operates correctly. This is purely a cosmetic issue and does not affect the pedal's performance.

The HM-2's unique dual Color Mix controls allow extensive shaping of both low and high frequencies, making it capable of everything from thick, saturated rhythm tones to cutting lead sounds. While famous for extreme metal, the HM-2 has also found favour with players in punk, shoegaze, doom, hardcore and experimental music.
