The WURM 2 is a seriously potent distortion pedal built for metalheads. It nails the aggressive, scooped tones of classic high-gain amps and pedals, and the internal EQ adjustments let you dial in a surprisingly wide range of sounds. If you're looking for a focused, powerful distortion without a ton of extra fluff, this is an excellent choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The WURM 2 improves upon the original with a more refined circuit for greater clarity and reduced noise, plus a more compact enclosure.
It's heavily inspired by a very popular high-gain pedal from the late '80s/early '90s, capturing its core sound and character without being a literal copy.
While designed primarily for guitars, the WURM 2 works well with bass, especially if you're after a distorted, aggressive low-end – just be mindful of those high-mid frequencies.
