A used BOSS HM-2W [Heavy Metal] has arrived!Produced from 1983 to 1991, the HM-2 Heavy Metal is a legendary pedal that has left its mark on the history of distortion pedals.
The chainsaw tone, achieved by turning all the knobs to their maximum, has firmly established itself as a core sound in Swedish death metal music. It has also garnered high praise from shoegaze guitarists who create thick walls of sound with distortion.
Driven by the passionate requests from these enthusiastic fans, BOSS decided to revive the HM-2 as part of the WAZA CRAFT series. With an analog distortion sound that perfectly replicates the original, and a custom mode with special tuning, the HM-2W was created.
[Standard Mode: Faithful to the original HM-2 sound]
Standard mode perfectly replicates the tone and response of the original HM-2. Setting all knobs to their maximum values unleashes that iconic chainsaw tone. Meanwhile, modern technology has been used to improve the design in several places. Ground noise has been reduced, and the maximum LEVEL value has been increased by 3dB. Furthermore, a premium buffer has been incorporated to ensure a pure guitar sound when bypassed. The HM-2W thoroughly refines the basic performance of the pedal without sacrificing the original's unique characteristics.
[Custom Mode: For even more aggressive distortion]
In Custom Mode, you can achieve a more aggressive distortion while maintaining the character of Standard Mode. Special tuning of the gain circuit provides even stronger distortion while also emphasizing the sharpness and attack of the sound. The low-frequency and mid-high-frequency characteristics have also been readjusted, resulting in a sound that combines high density and clarity.
【What is WAZA CRAFT?】
Since its founding, BOSS engineers have poured all their technology, accumulated know-how, and passionate spirit for sound into pursuing the best guitar sound, from analog circuit design to cutting-edge digital DSP technology. The compact pedal "WAZA CRAFT" is the culmination of that craftsmanship. Equipped with analog circuits meticulously assembled by skilled engineers, with every single part carefully selected, the refined, made-in-Japan "WAZA CRAFT" provides guitarists with the finest sound and exceptional playability.
The exterior shows signs of use, such as scratches and dirt, but it is in good working order.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters.
That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception.
SPOILER:
The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured.
I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2.
Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
