KMA Machines Wurm Distortion Overview
The KMA Machines Wurm Distortion pedal is designed to reproduce the high-gain sound of the classic - and now highly sought after - Boss HM2 MIJ. This high-gain sound was used frequently by Swedish metal bands who invented the 'Chainsaw' genre of metal, and the Wurm pedal aims to emulate the genre's unique tonal signature. The Wurm includes two internal DIP switches that change the response from the original Boss HM2 to the adapted KMA Machines version of the pedal.
If you're looking for a truly powerful distorted sound with a focused and articulate response, the Wurm has the versatility to deliver everything you need. KMA Machines hand make all their guitar pedals in Berlin, using premium components and rugged aluminium chassis to ensure a highly durable performance, designed to survive the trials of life on the road. This means that all of their pedals are completely unique, and are always quality units that provide an aggressive and rich tone.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe blueprint & the outcome
Inspired by the discontinued Boss HM2, created in Japan, was a high-gain pedal that paid tribute to the sound of 'chainsaw metal', invented by bands like Dismember and Entombed. The high gain sound was a key part to this genre, and the Boss HM2 is now sought-after for its recreation of that tone. The KMA Machines Wurm reproduces the crushing tones of the Boss HM2 and goes beyond what the original could achieve. It features a powerful 4-band EQ for great versatility and internal DIP switches to alter the pedal's response. Now, thanks to KMA Machine's innovation, you can enjoy this massive sound too. Mould this supremely powerful and creative distortion pedal's sound to find you own unique voice, creating your very own legend.
Powerful EQ
The KMA Machines Wurm features a 4-band active EQ giving you control over the highs, lows, low-mids and high-mids. These controls can boost or cut the frequency bands and are powerful tools for sculpting your sound. This sonic control enables your to find your perfect sound every time, so that when you pickup and play, all you have to think about is your performance - no unnecessary distractions. The TERROR control provides the same effect as its name; it provides layers of gain that takes your tone into a powerful and articulate saturation that is perfect for metal playing.
Internal DIP Switches
Highly responsive, the Wurm includes 2 internal DIP switches that alter the way the high-mids control responds. The DIP switches alter the frequency range of the high-mids dial, giving you three sounds: the original Boss HM2 sound, a new KMA designated frequency, and a blend of 3 different frequencies. This lets you tailor the response of the pedal to exactly how you prefer.
