The HMW (Heavy Metal Warfare) is the ultimate single channel amp for achieving all ranges of rock and metal tones from barely distorted to extreme modern heavy metal in one amp.
High and low gain inputs as well as a switch with HI and LO gain settings allow 4 input sensitivities to choose from depending on how aggressive of a sound the user is going for. This versatile arrangement allows the HMW to function as either a straight forward plug and play ripping heavy metal amp or a pedal platform style amp where moderate distortion sounds are dialed in then modified with fuzzes, boosts, overdrives, etc.

EQ is expansive but not excessive. Settings are divided into preamp and power amp controls with Gain, Treble, Middle, and Bass setting the tone of the preamp and Volume, Presence and Depth used to adjust the overall volume and frequency response of the power amp.

Two EQ shift switches can further shape the response of the high and low frequencies to help tailor the sound to different playing styles whether it's fast technical metal or slow pulverizing sludge. Both switches off (down) is the stock sound of the amp. Treble shift increases brightness and presence and helps accentuate pick attack. Turning the bass shift on makes the overall sound thicker and the response more slow and woofy.

The back panel has two parallel speaker outs, 3-way selector switch for 4, 8 or 16 ohm operation, and a line out with volume control. FX loop is optional on this model.
