Ha!
Hey!
Whoa, hey! What's up?
What's up everyone? I'm Ola Englund
and today I'm very excited, because I'm gonna put two pedals head-to-head against each other
First, we have the Boss HM 2 Heavy Metal pedal and this is a classic pedal
And I've already made a video using this pedal to showcase the Swedish Death Metal type of sound
This pedal is made in Japan, it's made in the 80s
and after Boss stopped making them, there has been a bunch of knockoff pedals entering the market
and one of them is the Behringer HM 300 Heavy Metal
and even though the pedal itself is pink, I must say it kinda resembles the Heavy Metal metal
I mean, it's got the same layout on the knobs, it's even called HM 300, you know?
It's a little bit weird, but it's pink
So the idea is just for me to check out and see how they fare against each other
Will the behringer HM 300 sound like the HM 2?
Huh? It's kind of interesting, I think so at least
Maybe you don't like these kinds of versus videos, but I like it
I'm excited to hear how they sound
I'm using a solar A1.6 Artist into these two pedals and then into the Randall Satan
through the Hesu 2x12 with Demon Speakers and a Beyerdynamic M160 microphone
and yeah
Now there's no sound, because the amp is in standby, that's normal
So ...
What is that noise?
Oh
That's true bypass for you
Oh man
Oh, I didn't see this before, that the whole casing of this pedal is plastic
Yeah
I mean, in its defense, it's very cheap. It was like 20 dollars or something like that, for me to buy
Okay, let's try it out. This is the Satan sound without any of the Pedals engaged, okay?
And I think we can turn it up a little, just because it's Monday
Chunky, I must say.
but that sound is just beautiful, what is it?
Let me try out the Boss HM2 first, see if it's awesome
and of course I have all the the dials, or all the knobs on maximum, because that's just how it is
The good thing with the Satan is that, because you have the prefilters
you can kind of work together with the overdrive pedal
and yeah, it's really awesome. It really helps to shape that type of tone.
F***ing hell, that's awesome. That's like ... Oh, that's just evil.
You know, I can feel my beard growing as I'm playing through this rig
It's just a lot of fun
Okay, just to get back on topic
Let's just max out the knobs and play for a little bit, and then I'm gonna max out the knobs on this one
Oh
Oh, come on.
There it is, yes
Ooh
Okay, and we'll just switch between and see if it sounds about the same as the Boss HM2, okay?
To be honest, the difference was smaller than I expected
So yeah, let's play around with the Behringer pedal for a bit
Nope
My whole room is vibrating, this is awesome
I hope that sounds as good with the microphone as it does in the room
because it sounds f***ing awesome, to be honest, like ...
That's just like ...
It's like a ...
You know, you like, take a knife and then you cut through the bread
That's the kind of sound I'm getting right now, in a good way.
That's a weird f***ing comparison right there
Okay, I know what you all want to hear
Both at the same time
Let's do it
There's already so much distortion happening right now
So it doesn't really affect the sound that much, if you use both at the same time, but yeah
and I must say the Satan sounded really awesome with these pedals
Oh, that's the door. Shit.
Alright, awesome, that was the first time
That was my neighbor
Oh well, he was wondering what I was doing
That's actually the first time that someone has acknowledged that I'm playing guitar
So yeah, that's nice, I guess, that they can appreciate my HM2 metal sounding
And with that let's just end it at that note
And yeah, I actually thought that the HM 300 Behringer pedal sounded pretty much the same as the HM2
I don't mean the HM 300 is like ...
I'm not sure if it's available anymore, but it's like 30 bucks or 20 bucks or something like that
So, it's a very cheap way to get this type of sound
and this is still like, this is a Japanese made HM2, so it's not the Taiwan ones
and these are supposed to be a little better than the Taiwan ones
Anyway, yeah, still a lot of fun. I mean, I love playing with this type of sound
It's so ...
You know, it's so ...
So manly!
You know?
I feel like a man
And I need help ...
with that ...
Sometimes ...
So it's good I have these pedals to help me out, so yeah
