Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal

And for those who DO want the chugga chugga crushing lows! :o)

And I didn't expect it but this will fit in a 1590B too (doh!) so the Lite version may not get built quite as often now.  But still a good exercise in adapting these things and I'm glad there is a more compact version available if someone wants to use it.

This one has also been verified by our resident Finnish metal head who sent me a comparison clip against an original and it sounds identical to me, so you're good to go on the build!  Thanks again to Miro, the building machine! :o)

Info about the original:

The HM-2 is a distortion effect specially designed for Heavy Metal music.  In spite of its compact body, it features an extremely wide dynamic range, therefore allowing rich, dynamic distortion sounds.  Also, the HM-2 can be effectively used even with a single coil pickup guitar lo low output level, because of its high gain.  Wide variety of tone color creation is made possible with two Color Mix Controls.
