Love it or hate it, the Boss HM-2 is one of the most iconic sounding distortions in heavy music. Tons of builders have cloned the circuit and attempted to capture the "lightning in a bottle" fully dimed Heavy Metal sound, and make their own tweaks to it. Many have tried and failed to nail the original black label MIJ HM-2's grinding midrange and aggressive distortion, but the Left Hand Wrath Deluxe from Lone Wolf Audio is the end-all-be-all of death metal stompboxes.
Everyone knows the HM-2's best setting. Every knob at 10. But the Left Hand Wrath is loaded with features that allow you to tweak the distortion and tone to your heart's content while still retaining that classic grind. A sweepable midrange, presence control, and 6-way frequency range rotary toggle allow you to dial in the perfect chainsaw to suit your rig, playing style, and personal taste. Additionally, it features a secondary footswitch to switch between classic distortion and a more aggressive modern setting.
But that's not all! The deluxe version of the Left Hand Wrath also features a clean blend control so you can blend the pedal's distortion with your clean guitar signal. Perfect for running into the gain channel on your amp to blend just a little bit of grind into your amp's tube distortion. It also works great for bass, so you can retain a solid low end.
This pedal shows signs of use, but it functions flawlessly. It has been recently serviced by Joe at LWA/Void Manufacturing and sounds killer. We'll ship it to you super fast and super safe in its box. Feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have about it!
