Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the HM-2W is not just a reissue - it's a tribute to the original HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal that carved its name into the annals of music history from 1983 to 1991. Known for its raw "chainsaw tone," this pedal was the cornerstone of the Swedish death metal sound and has since influenced a wide spectrum of music styles, from mainstream rock to the ethereal waves of shoegaze.

The HM-2W's Standard mode faithfully reproduces the classic HM-2 tone with absolute authenticity. Our engineers have infused this mode with contemporary refinements, such as a lower noise floor and a 3 dB boost in maximum level, ensuring that the pedal's performance is pristine and powerful. The onboard premium Waza Craft buffer also ensures that your tone remains uncolored when the pedal is disengaged.

For those seeking to push the boundaries even further, the Custom mode elevates the aggression. With increased gain in the drive stage and a fine-tuned frequency range, this mode delivers a bolder presence with enhanced attack and clarity, while still retaining the pedal's signature character.
