Heavy resurrection

 

Folks, the other anticipation at the close of 2020 is the HM-2 pedal. What's the big deal, you ask? This was the pedal that single-handedly gave birth to the so called Swedish Death Metal tone. It's also noted that David Gilmour had one in his pedal board once upon a time so there's more to the HM-2 than being an exclusive slave to heavy music. 

However, the HM-2 would be released as a Waza Craft model. It means paying a little more than what it should list for without the WC extras. This is currently dividing the HM-2 camp into the purist vs revisionist movements. BOSS did a clever thing by asking fans to contribute to the design features of the pedal so the final manifestation has some user ownership rather than dictating the revised features per se. 

I would hear what the new HM-2 has to offer before committing to purchase. If there's any dissent for a good, angry distortion pedal, it would be a lack of midrange.
