Three New BOSS FX Pedals!
Timeless BOSS effects. Now in your DAW.
Since debuting in 1977, the colorful BOSS compact pedal lineup has been loved by generations of musicians, and numerous guitar legends have relied on various models for their signature sounds and the creation of the greatest recordings of all time. The history of BOSS compacts includes nonstop innovations and many world firsts, and these iconic designs continue to influence and inspire players and pedal builders around the globe. The BOSS Effects Pedals plug-in brings the authentic BOSS compact pedal experience to computer music production for the first time, delivering premium processing for guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals, and beyond.
HM-2 Heavy Metal
Introduced in 1983, the legendary HM-2 delivers raw, aggressive distortion with a uniquely voiced midrange and powerful low end. Every setting brings a bold attitude and distinctive edge to any instrument. With all knobs maxed, it pummels an amplifier’s input to produce the signature “chainsaw” tone that defines the Swedish death metal guitar sound.
MZ-2 Digital Metalizer
This pioneering BOSS pedal blended an analog distortion circuit with digital processing to produce massive tones for metal and other heavy styles. A multi-mode selector provides three doubling options and two specially tuned chorus modes, unlocking a range of sounds that infuse the high-gain saturation with rich spatial depth.
HM-3 HYPER Metal
The HM-3 dishes up smooth, high-gain distortion with a tight, controlled character. Compared with the hard, gritty voice of the HM-2, this pedal produces versatile, refined tones with wide-ranging control over low and high frequencies to balance the sound in any mix.
