Its signature chainsaw tone with all knobs maxed is the defining voice of Swedish death metal, and the slightly milder sides of its personality can be heard on tracks from mainstream to shoegaze. The HM-2W delivers the authentic analog sound of the original in all its glory, coupled with lots of modern refinements for enhanced performance.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStandard Mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhen the HM-2W is in Standard mode, the tone and response of the original HM-2 pedal is reproduced with 100-percent authenticity. Some modern improvements are added which does not affect the sound, including reducing the noise floor and expanding the maximum level by 3 dB. With the premium Waza Craft buffer on board, the sound is improved when the pedal is bypassed. Cranking every knob all the way up is the sound of Swedish death metal, and you can conjure a wide range of tones for other styles with the sensitive distortion and color controls.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet Even More Aggressive with Custom Mode\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe HM-2W’s Custom mode offers a similar sound character to Standard mode, but with just a little more of everything.
