The Boss HM-2 is a distortion pedal that was made in Japan between 1983-1988. Production was moved to Taiwan between 1989-1991, after which it was discontinued.
It has recently attained cult status because of it's use on seminal metal recordings in the 90s, particularly Entombed and At The Gates. It's seem a recent resurgence due to bands like Nails and Harm's Way.
Liking bands from both of these eras, I bought one recently. It is a great sounding pedal, in it's crappy way, if you know what I mean. It's not meant to emulate fat refined Marshall tone. It's meant to be brash and obnoxious. I love this pedal!
