Standard mode preserves the original response, while Custom mode increases gain, attack, fullness, and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor players building Swedish death metal guitar tones, Standard mode delivers the focused midrange and aggressive distortion associated with the original design. The separate COLOR MIX L and H controls independently shape low and high-mid frequencies, while Custom mode provides a heavier alternative for modern metal, high-gain pedalboards, and aggressive rhythm or lead sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HM-2W uses a 1 M ohm input, buffered bypass, and standard 1\/4-inch connections for straightforward pedalboard integration. Power comes from an included 9 V alkaline battery or an optional PSA-series adapter. BOSS rates alkaline battery operation at approximately 24 hours and carbon-zinc operation at approximately eight hours under continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey
