Not Just Metal - Hot Pink Heavy Metal!

The Behringer Heavy Metal HM300 distortion pedal is an easy way to inject molten-hot heavy metal tone into your guitar rig. And you've got an amazing range of distortion tones to discover once you start tweaking knobs. The Low tone control can cut your lows almost completely, but you'll probably use it to add extra punch and girth to your tone. The Mid control is perfect for creating scooped-mid metal tones. There's a reason we carry so many distortion pedals at Sweetwater - they each have their own distinct flavor. The Behringer Heavy Metal HM300 may be just what you're looking for!

Behringer Heavy Metal HM300 Distortion Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • Distortion pedal for electric guitar

Surprised

This is my 4th Behringer pedal. I own the tuner, vintage delay, and the Super fuzz. The Metal Distortion is my fourth and man I was surprised at how good it sounds. Basically I needed a distortion to play one song in my cover band. Overdrives normally all I need and I can stack a few to get the drive I needed. But this was a modern high gain alternative song and I've fallen back in love with Stratocasters… to say the least my tone wasn't right. I didn't want to buy something terribly expensive because it's just one song! I was looking at used Boss pedals and this metal distortion came up. It was $ so it was the right price. As it turns out it's perfect. The tone is spot on what I needed and the 60 cycle hum wasn't bad at all with the gain wide open. Will it survive the gig life? Don't know and don't care... This series is clones of old Boss pedals, the circuits are nearly dead on copies. Get some!

Does what it should do.

I've used a HM-2 (Japanese) for almost all the time I've played guitar - thirty some years now.

I never used it on "Swedish chainsaw" settings. Frankly, I'm amazed anyone ever set it like that!

What the HM-2 (and the HM-300) excel at is gritty, almost fuzz-like high gain with a particularly pronounced high end (if dialed in correctly).

In that respect, the HM-300 works VERY well. Trying to copy my existing settings is futile, given thirty years of circuit drift and the old variations in production - but the same sounds I know and love are in the little box. If anything, and it pains me to say so, it's slightly crisper in a good way and more open than the vintage HM-2.

Will it live as long?

Probably not.

Will it age as well?

Nope.

Is it cosmetically hideous in a plastic box? Yes.

But it's far more solid than I thought it would be, and works as advertised.

I'll be returning my HM-2 to its normal place in my permanent studio emplacement and keeping the Hm-300 in my practice/quick recording rig, and not feel like I've left the "better" pedal out with the big amps and toys.

Nice HM2 copycat

My old 80s japanese HM2 was acting weird so I got this as a replacement. It's not exactly the same, but damn close and the price can't be beat.
