The Providence HBL-2 Heat Blaster pedal is designed to deliver a modern distortion sound that is rich in harmonics and has a fast attack - a high-gain tube distortion in a compact pedal. This is a sound that won't get buried in any band. What's more, the HBL-2 does not produce the excessive compression that can be a problem with many distortion pedals, for exceptionally natural response. The Heat Blaster is ideal for use with the clean channel of a multi-channel amplifier.

The HBL-2 features Drive, Tone, and Level controls, as well as a NORMAL/LOW CUT switch, which provides convenient low-frequency control. When set to the LOW CUT position the low frequencies are attenuated for a crisp, tight distortion sound. The LOW CUT position is also useful for subduing excessive lows when using a 7-string or tuned-down guitar.

The Heat Blaster also features Providence's proprietary "SCT" bypass - In standard“true bypass” circuits the instrument signal passes through two switch contacts when bypassed. The HBL-2 Single Contact True Bypass configuration ensures that the signal only passes through one switch contact when bypassed, for unmatched signal quality as well as reliability.
