The Behringer HM300 Heavy Metal Distortion pedal delivers extreme, high-gain distortion reminiscent of the iconic '80s metal sound, offering thick, crushing tones with endless sustain. It features dedicated controls for distortion, a 2-band EQ, and level, allowing for versatile sound shaping from brooding to furious. This pedal is designed to compete with other leading distortion pedals, providing the characteristic chainsaw-like buzzing distortion that's perfect for metal riffs and grinding textures. It is often compared to the Boss HM-2 and is lauded for its affordability.
