The original has been out of circulation for years, but now BOSS have given you the HM-2W Heavy Metal Distortion Pedal, a faithful recreation of the classic distortion. This pedal is quite simply the sound of death metal in a compact form factor. All the original features of the original are faithfully presented, from the layout of the distortion, color, and level controls, to the characteristic breakup and full-throttled nature of the original's sound. Furthermore, a new mode has been added for extra aggression. A battery is included.
