HM-3

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.

NOTE

This effect must be purchased separately for use. Use the “BOSS EFFECT LOADER” app (iOS/Android) to purchase this effect.
