HM300 Heavy Metal Distortion : the cheapest way to get that HM-2 sound

I bought this for a few reasons.... Firstly, i wanted a pedal to achieve that Swedish Death Metal sound from the 1990s, and since the Boss HM-2 is quite a collectors item and rarely seen for sale for less than £150, I decided to try this £19 reissue/clone.

Plugging it in, Im amazed at the sound! its everything I needed. I wondered if the cheap price would reflect in the quality of the sound, but no. Admittedly, its the plastic cover that makes it cheap, but for that price, who cares?

So the plan is to remove the casing anyway and put it into a metal box with some custom graphics and a 3dtp switch. At this price, i can afford to do it and not worry about breaking it, plus I get the sound I wanted.
