PRELOVED BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal Pedal
The BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is one of the most iconic distortion pedals ever made, famous for its thick, grinding high-gain sound and legendary “chainsaw” tone when the controls are pushed hard. Originally produced from 1983 to 1991, the HM-2 became a defining voice in Swedish death metal, but it is also loved for shoegaze, noise rock, doom, heavy punk and brutal lead tones.
