2 dirt pedals: 1x BOSS Metal Zone MT-2 and 1x Behringer Heavy Metal HM300 Both pedals were only used in studio recording conditions. Both pedals were bought new around 2019. BOSS MT-2 Introduced way back in 1991, the iconic MT-2 Metal Zone remains the king of high-gain distortion stomps for guitarists around the world, with over one million sold and counting. Its thick, saturated sound is perfectly suited for metal styles and is also great for playing heavy rhythms and soaring solos in other genres. With incredibly wide tone-shaping range and ultra-smooth sustain, the multifaceted MT-2 brings an array of rich distortion voices to any musical setting. Iconic high-gain distortion pedal Innovative dual-stage gain circuit produces thick and tight distortion sounds with smooth, singing sustain Three-band active EQ with semi-parametric midrange provides intense sound customization with up to 15 dB boost/cut on each band BEHRINGER HM300 Budget chainsaw tone pedal with incredible value for money. In 1991, a tragedy happened in the world of Swedish Death Metal; the Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Distortion pedal was discontinued. For many, the HM-2 was a cult classic, and by ending its production, Boss left a gaping hole in the market. In its absence, a variety of other manufacturers attempted to build a pedal that could capture that iconic ‘chainsaw tone’, with varying results. Of all these potential successors, by far the most worthy was the Behringer HM300 Heavy Metal pedal. First released in 2008, not only was the HM300 affordable but, for the first time in almost two decades, it offered guitarists a sound that could truly compete with the HM-2.
