HM300 Heavy Metal Distortion : Excellent HM-2 clone for nearly 0 bucks.

6 years ago

An excellent and genuinely well done clone of the HM-2. I actually have had recording clients sell their vintage HM-2's and get this for gigging for ease of use. It comes in a fashionable pink and does all you'd expect. I actually use this more for shoegaze textures than anything else and it's also great at this.

The only downside is that, unlike the original, this can only operate at 9V. The original HM-2 has extra headroom at 18V which means the EQ doesn't crap out quite as quickly at high gains. It'd be nice to have the option of this, or of having lower overall gain to improve its ability to pair with other drives. But for the money..how could you go wrong?
