HM2 + FZ2

I have offered the combination of these two circuits under one housing for quite some time, but it has been revamped in a smaller enclosure to be more pedalboard friendly.

These two circuits have greatly defined the twilight legacy. I am thankful everyday that I live in a world where the HM2 and FZ2 exist.

Both of these are iconic Boss circuits that were the defining sounds of some of the most important metal bands in history. This pedal is a tribute to the greatness of the sounds that come out of these circuits, however I felt that these two complimented each other greatly. They are nasty, but unique and do not sound alike.

The HM2 Side is a nasty, filthy, distortion with the tone section being the most renown part. It borders on fuzz, this circuit definitely is not a typical distortion. This circuit is the key to achieving that Swedish Chainsaw black metal tone. There are so many famous bands that used this circuit as their core sound, for the most unmatched, gut wrenching tone.

A new edition for the V3 version- HM2 mode switch- it affects how much signal is needed to pass- creating a simplified noise gate. One allows even minor signals to come through for no gating- the other creates a minor noise gate that cuts on hiss and background noise, and has a touch of gating at the end of the distortion decay.

The FZ2 side, is my favorite fuzz circuit that has ever been invented. It is a souped up Univox Super Fuzz.

This circuit is the sound of one of the heaviest bands in the universe, Electric Wizard. This circuit can be clearly heard as the core sounds for 2 of their greatest albums, Dopethrone, and Come My Fanatics...

This circuit has some sort of magic to it. I am not sure how a fuzz can embody the deep mysteries, emptiness, vastness, and darkness of space, but it does just that.

With an ever evolving cascade of rich harmonies and thundering frequencies, this sound channels the powers of the great beyond.

This circuit is improved as well. In boost mode, you are able to use the EQ section which is not possible with the Behringer version. So, you can dial in a bass boost, a neutral boost, or a treble boost. On top of that, you can use the gain and volume control as well, helping you dial in a clean or dirty boost, at any volume desired.

The HM2 is going in series into the FZ2, so that way you can use the boost section to fatten up the HM2 tone. Both sides are independent, meaning you can use one without the other, or both together if you choose.

COLORS-

the raw aluminum finish option is built fresh to order, and generally features standard components.

The circuit will be built in a raw aluminum case with no paint, but will get lightly sand polished.

knobs will be dealers choice.

on average, 5-10 day build time.
