1988 Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion (Made in Japan)

1988 Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion (Made in Japan)The Boss HM 2 is one of the most divisive Boss pedals ever released and is a cult favourite in the pedal community. The HM 2 produces a "chainsaw" style distortion that is unique and very hard to replicate without using the pedal. They were favoured heavily by metal bands in the 80's and are still just as popular today with guitarists looking for an iconic metal tone. The HM 2 features a Level knob for the overall volume, a Color Mix section to boost
