1984 BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal - MIJ

1989 BOSS distortion - arguably their most versatile and usable dirt box ever. The HM-2 offers a massive spectrum of drive from light breakup to all-out fuzz. With a set of incredibly intuitive tone shaping controls that delivers much more than your standard 2-band EQ, the Lows and Highs are able to dramatically shift midrange, almost akin to a VOX AC30.

As used by Leif Cuzner of Nihilist, with Entombed & Dismember to follow (along with almost every other metal act on the Swede scene); vintage HM-2's have also found themselves on the boards of Belinda Butcher & Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth Thommy Taranto of Batpiss & even David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

Requires BOSS ACA 12V Centre Negative Pin power supply, or alternatively can be powered by daisy chain with any modern BOSS pedal running 9V.
