The Boss Heavy Metal HM-2 has gained an almost cult following in recent years. Released in 1983, it was the first distortion pedal tuned specifically for the relatively new genre of Metal.
Although players as distinguished as Prince, Eric Clapton, Johnny Marr and David Gilmour all used the Boss Heavy Metal HM-2 to great effect during their careers, the HM-2's turning point was arguably the 1990 release of Entombed's Left Hand Path. This Swedish Death Metal album was noted as inventing the "chainsaw" or "Gothenburg" sound, achieved by cranking all the dials up to maximum for an aggressive and in-your-face sound.
The Heavy Metal HM-2 is a surprisingly versatile distortion pedal, however, thanks to its powerful EQ which enables you to cut or boost each frequency band by up to 20dB. This EQ section also makes the HM-2 a superb pedal for stacking, as it can adjust the sound of any pedal before it in the chain.
The Bleak District Tapescape is one of the best delay and ambience style pedals ever invented. The controls are all intuitive but highly flexible, the sounds are rich and detailed, the modulation can go from dreamy to nightmarish very quickly, and all of that inside a small footprint with a low power requirement. It's difficult to get a bad sound out of it, honestly.
Add in that Boost shipped it out quickly and it arrived with a nice note written on the invoice, is there anything else you could ask for? Definitely will be buying more from both Boost and Bleak District in future.
Part came as described. Website was easy use.
very cool pedal
Awesome service and communication all along!
Will gladly order again
I ordered a set of strings from Boost, that did not initially turn up. After contacting Boost via the website they immediately sent out another set (no questions asked). Both sets arrived a few days later (Thanks Royal Mail!). Boost were prompt in dealing with the issue (gave) me a set of strings and got things sorted out. Highly recommend you use these guys.
My favourite strings, at a great price! Very reasonable postage rates and speedy service. My first purchase from Boost, but will definitely not be my last. Hassle free, excellent...
Jazzmaster happy🙏
I didn’t know that particular manufacturer from Italy, but I definitely recommend their "Vintage Vibe”. It’s simple, intuitive, it looks awesome, the build quality seems impeccable, and most importantly, it sounds fantastic.
Pre-ordered the Tapescape through Boost Pedals. Great pedal, great order experience
Thank you. I'm very satisfied !!!
Great quality and love the colour, I've not seen this colour available anywhere else. Thanks!
Really loving the range of organic tape sounds from the tapescape. Great build quality and a world of wobbly good times. Instant atmosphere as soon as you turn it in. Great small company from the UK, worth every penny
Great shirt, very quick delivery

Excellent pedal , one of the better vibes out there , obviously all about opinions . The service from Boost was excellent from communication to packaging and delivery .
Great swift service. Too big for Boss pedals but works fine on amps.
