Reviews around deal (5.00 of 5)

  • If you like it, the real deal is more appropriate for a live setting but this will work just as well if you don't mind a hair more hiss

Reviews around band (5.00 of 5)

  • I think it's great for covering older bands like Judas Priest, Ratt, or Cinderella, and the 2 band
  • The sound on this is exactly what I expected: the gritty "Swedish chainsaw" sound from the early 90's that bands like Entombed and Dismember used

Reviews around unity gain (5.00 of 5)

  • The level knob barely brings the volume up to unity gain, but at least it reaches unity gain

Reviews around knob (5.00 of 5)

  • The only useful sounds for me come from both EQs dimed, and then messing with the volume and gain knobs
  • The secret to this pedal is to turn all the knobs all the way up (not joking).

Reviews around job (5.00 of 5)

  • i don't have a boss hm-2 lying around to compare it with,but the behringer does the job quite well.
  • the behringer does the job though, and i recommend it to anyone looking to get that swedish sound without spending 100$+ on a beaten to bits boss hm-2.

Reviews around amp (3.61 of 5)

  • It has it's place in the hands of those who are new to guitar and want to play with some cheap effects, don't use much distortion and want a toy, or to drive heavy gain to a cheap solid state amp
  • Probably a better distortion than most low end solid state amps.
  • But really, any high gain pedal or amp would capture Jerry's high gain tone just fine, and there are way more versatile pedals out there

Reviews around tone (3.27 of 5)

  • For best results, use a tube amp with just a little bit of breakup to push it over the edge into that dirty, nasty, wonderful tone.
  • At first after a few minutes of use it would get a very pronounced phaser sound coming out, killing most of the muddy metal tone coming in, but that was because a didj't put a fresh battery in
  • It's scratchy and farty and just completely terrible sounding, but in a way that's potentially useful as a truly creepy/hilarious special effect tone
  • And this pedal does just that,however i run an overdrive before,and an EQ pedal after it to really get a devastating tone
  • Don't get the impression this pedal is a shredding pedal and pass it by if you really just want a good 60-80's classic rock tone
  • Read remaining 15 reviews for tone

Reviews around distortion (3.22 of 5)

  • Probably a better distortion than most low end solid state amps.
  • At the time I just wanted a more normal reasonable distortion tone, so I sold the pedal, which I've always kind of regretted (especially after I started getting into more death metal stuff in the late 2000's)
  • Don't get it if you're looking for a normal, versatile distortion pedal or something that sounds good in any conventional sense
  • For the price, you get decent solid state type distortion.
  • For heavy metal power chords, this is my number 1 distortion
  • Read remaining 6 reviews for distortion

Reviews around rock (3.22 of 5)

  • The sweet, smooth classic rock sounds are wonderful
  • Don't get the impression this pedal is a shredding pedal and pass it by if you really just want a good 60-80's classic rock tone
  • The manual (somewhat hilarously) says you can get the "typical hard rock or heavy metal distortion sounds" from the pedal
