If you want to get the 'Swedish Death Metal' sound without emptying your wallet for a vintage BOSS HEAVY METAL pedal, this is a perfect pick for you.
The HM300 does a fantastic job at replicating the original HM2 sound, although it is just a bit more 'tinny' than the original, but even that can be easily fixed by pulling the 'Mid' knob back by just a millimeter. Personally, I find this pedal working best as a 'boost'. Set all the knobs except the 'Dist' to either max. or near max. and switch the pedal on while you're on a crunch channel. The noise can be a bit too much to deal with, but can be tamed with a noise suppressor pedal, if you have one of those at hand.
The only setback for this pedal is it's exterior - Cheap plastic in the most piercing shade of pink. It's the last thing that you'd expect from a 'heavy metal' pedal, but it's something you just have to deal with, because this pedal is too much to miss out on.
If you want a Swedish Death metal tone, get this, you most likely WON'T be disappointed.
