Boss Heavy Metal-2, abbreviated as Boss HM-2, is a guitar distortion pedal manufactured by Boss from October 1983 until October 1991. Designed to emulate Marshall stacks, it became associated with Swedish death metal and gained a cult following in the heavy metal scene.
Background
Boss HM-2 was first issued in October 1983. It was originally manufactured in Japan from 1983 until 1988 and then in Taiwan from 1988 until 1991.[1] It was designed to emulate the mid-range response of the Marshall stacks.[2] Boss HM-2 is based on Boss DS-1. Despite achieving a moderate success in the glam metal scene, the pedal was discontinued in 1991; it was succeeded by Boss HM-3 Hyper Metal and Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, the latter of which became a commercial success and top-selling Boss pedal.[2]
Since its discontinuance, Boss HM-2 became one of the most demanded pedals of the Boss back catalogue.[3][1][2] Guitarist and record producer Kurt Ballou has been cited as an influence for the pedal's resurgence[4] and bands such as Nails and Rotten Sound have also appropriated the pedal's sound for different extreme metal styles.[5]
In 2020, Boss Corporation president Yoshi Ikegami announced that the pedal would be reissued as a part of the Waza Craft pedal series under the name Boss HM-2W. For the reissue, the company also established a Facebook group to seek design feedback from the fanbase.[6][5] The prototype of Boss HM-2W was tested by Ola Englund.
The Waza Craft version added standard and custom mode to the Boss HM-2W.
Swedish death metal
Leif Cuzner of Swedish death metal band Nihilist used these settings to create his sound, and bands like Entombed, Dismember, and Bloodbath followed suit. Many Swedish bands have used the Boss HM-2 with a Peavey amp to achieve this sound. In the 1990s, the pedal attracted a cult following in the underground heavy metal scene due to its formative influence over the Swedish death metal sound.[7] Entombed's 1990 album, Left Hand Path, cemented its use in the scene.[6]
At the Gates's 1995 album, Slaughter of the Soul, combined the Boss HM-2 with Boss MT-2 and Boss SD-1.
Many Boss HM-2 pedals, especially ones made in Japan, have been collected by the guitarists of Entombed and Dismember.Шаблон:Citation needed
Control
According to Michael Astley-Brown of Guitar World, compared to the other distortion pedals, the pedal offered "radically versatile low and high ‘Color Mix’ EQ controls with 20 dB of boost/cut."[3]
