A great companion for the metal guitarist or shoegazer, the legendary Boss HM-2 was produced between 1983-1991 and allows the player to channel the distinct distortion textures that defined the '80s and early 1990s, from Metallica to My Bloody Valentine. Dialing in a sweet spot with the Level control and Distortion knob is easy, and the tone can be fine-tuned with the L and H Color Mix controls.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOne of Boss' most revered high gain compact pedals, the HM-2 is an early Japanese-made black label version with only a few small chips on the enclosure. The original silkscreen graphics are very clean, and the original quartet of orange-capped knobs are present. The black foil label on the back of the pedal is intact, as is the serialized sticker in the battery compartment, dating production to November, 1985.","brand":"Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45642745184512,"sku":"604000","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_a57c8b79-d2cc-4988-ac5f-25549af0c237.jpg?v=1751541730","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1985-boss-hm-2-heavy-metal-distortion-guitar-effects-pedal-black-label-japan","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
