Boss HM2 Heavy Metal pedal schematic
The Boss HM2 Heavy Metal pedal generates a unique distortion effect specially designed for Heavy Metal music. It has an interesting design with both asymmetric softclipping diodes, hard
clipping diodes and a Ge diode pair in series with the signal for crossover distortion and simple noise gate. A wide variety of tone color creation is made possible with the 2 color mix controls.
