The HEAVY METAL HM300 produces the huge, slicing guitar tone that, until now, was only available from high-gain amps cranked to the point just before meltdown.
Tone with Serious Attitude
With its ultra-high gain circuitry, the HM300 gives you rude and rowdy distortion for the fiercest rhythm chops and searing leads, with virtually endless sustain.
Easy to Operate
Its dedicated DISTORTION, LOW, HIGH and LEVEL controls allow you to sculpt your own trademark metal tone, from deep and brooding to crisp and furious. A status LED tells you when this beast is activated, and a top-quality on/off switch maintains incredible signal integrity in bypass mode. You can power the HM300 with either a 9 V battery or a PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).
Value
Don't let the pink color fool you - the HEAVY METAL HM300 is "Red-Hot!"
(We only made them pink, so your mom would feel good buying one for you.) Check out the HM300 at your BEHRINGER dealer today. You'll be surprised by how little it costs to own the tone!

This Behringer really does seem to be pretty much the same thing though. It's really cheap, but you should still only buy it if it's what you really want. Don't get it if you're looking for a normal, versatile distortion pedal or something that sounds good in any conventional sense. The manual (somewhat hilarously) says you can get the "typical hard rock or heavy metal distortion sounds" from the pedal. That's a lie. The sound here is like something in between a distortion and a fuzz, with a really distinctive, crusty midrange that reminds me a bit of a half-cocked wah pedal. It's scratchy and farty and just completely terrible sounding, but in a way that's potentially useful as a truly creepy/hilarious special effect tone.
Imagine you were to stumble on a huge, writhing ball of snakes breeding in a swamp somewhere. Imagine the thick swamp stink, the slurping and slapping of the snakes intertwining and slithering ind an out of the water, the filthy droplets gleaming brown on the scales. Now imagine waking up one night and finding that same thing in your bed with you. Then somehow translate that into a sound and stick it in your earhole. That's kind of what this pedal is. It's pretty sweet.
Just buy it
I'm probably in a unique position because I used to play death metal, but more recently have gotten into the Dead and Jerry Garcia, who used the original Boss version of this pedal for high gain leads in the late 80's. I was looking for the latter, and, to be honest, I got it. It does that tone very well. But really, any high gain pedal or amp would capture Jerry's high gain tone just fine, and there are way more versatile pedals out there.
And yet, I don't dislike the Behringer. It was cheap enough that I don't have any regrets, and I may even find a use for it. However, if this is your first pedal, or you're looking for anything other than *old* Scandinavian black metal tone--the kind from the 80's that sounds like it was recorded in a trash can--I suggest looking elsewhere.
