Compact Distortion Pedal, made in Japan, featuring controls for Level, Low and High expander tone section and Distortion in Excellent condition.
The Original Chainsaw distortion pedal that started a genre of music - Swedish Death Metal!
Originally realeased in 1983 and based on the BOSS DS-1, but with more distortion and that Low High Color mix section... basically a tone /eq section with 20db of cut or boost, described as a radical tone section.
While it was quickly adopted and became the sound of the Swedish Death Meatl Scene, many notable players, outside of that scene, used this pedal - most popular was David Gilmour from Pink Floyd but others like Johnny Marr used it on some Smiths records too.
This is the original Japanese made HM-2 pedal that requires an ACA adapter - a regular BOSS PSA will not work properly. But it can always be used with a battery and many isolated power bricks, for pedal boards, have an option for powering these pedals.
A fantastic pedal that's not just for the Heavy Meatal / Death Metal.
This Consignment pedal is in Excellent condition with some light play wear. Most notable is the original Black Label on the bottom of the pedal is missing.
