You need a Behringer gm108 and turn all the knobs to max and mids to 1 or 2 and you get a special but awsome death metal sound. Thats btw the only setting that sounds good with this amp.

Awesome pedals for the price and when it comes to boss pedals they are so so close as they own the rights to the circuit board designs

Behringer has cornered the market by making most of the parts that other companies use.

Furious Neighbor: Achievement Conquered

[@Kyle_Noonan]

I've been an hm300 disciple for years, I think the clipping is way smoother and is a little more versatile (from an eq boost all the way to fuzz territory.) Though the killer app for that pedal is truly bass. I'm sure people have heard these to death, but I would love to see a video of you shooting out your distortions/drives on bass!!

[@FLOURISHFAMILYENT]

I was impressed with the hm-300 wasnt expecting that much out of it at all

[@gunkyzip]

"I can feel my beard growing, playing through this rig..." Hellz yea

[@josephbrowne3533]

I fuckin love the Swedish Death Metal sound, for such a distorted tone its very organic sounding, never quite been able to figure out why that is tho.

[@psychrot]

Joseph Browne i think it comes off “organic” because of the way that it gets crunchier and has a very rhythmic quality to it.

[@josephbrowne3533]

Christopher Chambers Possibly, but theirs just something right about it anyways. Like the melodic parts of Dismember songs would never work if the structure of the distortion was anything different.

[@iimmolarious7636]

I love playing with these pedals(in my swedish death metal style band), I prefer to put the distortion on minimal and the other options on max then play it through the gain channel on the amp. It makes the sound alot more refined, you should try it sometime. =]

[@hamtheman222]

Dax Bradshaw it just sounds like bees!

[@josearjona3728]

I got one, if you Ola want it to review it, i´ll give you for free

[@Grindermetalhead]

Dax, there's a mod for Digitech Death Metal pedal that replaces the fixed feedback resistor with a potentiometer which acts as a functional gain knob. If you have some soldering skills you can find the instructions online and mod it yourself. It's a bit tricky and you can ruin the pedal but then again, it's a worthless piece of shit anyway so who cares. An easier trick to reduce the insane gain level of the pedal is to roll back the volume knob on your guitar. I tried it myself and it works. You wont get a very good tone out of it whatever you do to it but it can be made to sound less shitty.

[@AR-mq5oz]

Yes! a DOD vs Digitech would be nice

[@DallasGunther]

Possibly the best tone I've ever had for metal was plugging straight into my solid state CRATE G40 XL on its 3 knob(gain,level,shape) distortion channel and line out into some brand 130c 2x12 on the clean channel. It was resonant and note definition worked perfectly for "the bleeding" style trem picked hammer on, pull offs. It was great at making ones playing sound right and controlled even if you were at your limit and barely hanging on. It was basically the antithesis of how a class A amp seems to magnify mistakes but touch sensitive and expressive.

[@utterchaos3761]

That Behringer HM300 sounds damn cool. Should get mine this week (or so I hope). \m/
