and it sounds so good. It's a perfect shoegazey, doomy fuzz IMO (and it's the same color as Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
). I'm definitely using this in my music for almost everything i need a wall of fuzz for. If I turn the mids up over 12:00, I can get a nice
Sometimes sound. I'm also glad that they're packaging their pedals in cardboard boxes now instead of blister packaging, it makes it look just a little nicer.

I love the Behringer Boss knock-offs. The DD-3/DD-5/whatever Digital Delay one has the one-second loop thing when you hold the switch down and crazy oscillation when you twiddle the knobs while it's repeating, good show.

Funny they copied the Boss boxes too, they use to come in clear plastic on a piece of cardboard.

Nice, I still have to get the PN-2 clone and the Slow Gear clone. I already have the VB-2 clone and the DM-3 clone and I can attest to them sounding really good.

The PN-2 clone's ace. The SG-1 clone is a bit shite tbh. Probably because the original is a bit shite (basing this purely on experience of the Behringer but I found the swell to be far too quick for my needs).

That pedal is definitely not metal and I doubt that it's heavy. Hahaha
Is this the clone of the HM-2? i have one and I like it for "chugga chugga" ing. Also, it sounds like a muff with better tone control.
OT: ten more posts until I can lurk in the classifieds!

If you're patient, you can find a real Boss HM-2 on your local Craigslist for a reasonable price, you just have to check it daily.

i used to check twice a day for a used HM-2 on craigslist but every one i found was over $50 or out of my traveling range, so i stopped bothering with that (and so, i got the behringer)

i was actually stuck between the VB-2 clone and the HM-2 clone, which ended obviously. my next purchase definitely will be the VB-2 clone, though

I own a HM-2 already, I have no interest in getting the clone, except to maybe mod that.
Daftsupernova: Does the distrotion control have three tones? the distortion control on the hm-2 has three: all the off is a dirty boost, everything from off to almost full on is the same tone, and full on is hissy crap.

Cool, then I need one, so I can cascade one into the other for Brootz and Swedish Death Metal.
