CHAINSAW MACHINE

Heavy Pedal is a faithful analog modeled simulation of the *BOSS® HM-2™, the infamous Swedish Chainsaw distortion stompbox introduced in the mid 80s and that sculpted the guitar tone of many metal guitarists.

This high gain pedal is definitely the dark side in the panorama of distortion pedals. We took our time to find a pristine conditions Japanese version of the pedal (ours is dated 1984) and we modeled it as close as possible.

HEAVY PEDAL SPECIFICATIONS

Independent Tone (Low and High), Distortion and Level controls
Pre and Post effect gain
Mix control
Noise Gate
9 different circuit types
