Review: Ridiculously close to the original HM-2, with some added versatility. - You're probably here for ONE of two reasons: Either 1.) It's cheap, it's bright pink and it says heavy metal on it. Or 2.) You've heard that this sounds identical to the original Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal, made famous by all those Swedish death metal bands. If you're here for reason 1, skip on this pedal, and go buy the UM300 Ultra Metal (cheap, pink Metal Zone clone), as the HM300 most likely isn't the heavy metal sound you have in mind. The UM300 can dial in a lot more standard metal tones, it's quite versatile and it's actually not that bad. If it's reason 2, then you can definitely believe what you've heard. I have a MIJ Boss HM-2, and I picked this up on a whim as I'd heard what it supposedly does. For £20, I thought "what's the worst that can happen?" especially after hearing the demos. The side-by-side comparisons were spot on. The HM300 is as close as you're going to get to the original HM-2, and if you don't fancy spending £100 in a beaten up, 25 year old HM-2 (or up to £250 on a boutique clone like the Left Hand Wrath which doesn't really sound all that much like the HM-2 anyway), then get this. Obviously the original HM-2 has a certain cool-factor and an everlasting re-sale value, but honestly - and you boutique pedalheads might scoff at this - I now prefer the HM300. The "sweet-spot" is slightly different. The HM-2's sweet spot is all the dials at 10, and the pedal sounds like garbage if you dial in anything BUT that. Whereas the HM300 is similar, though you roll off the "High" EQ (which on some models, they've called "Mid") just a *little* bit, though you can have it full, but it will give you a very cutting tone. which is great for leads, but is far too fizzy for that thick, saturated rhythm sound you're probably looking for. You can also roll off the distortion a little bit (to about 3 o-clock), which still gives you an incredible amount of gain, but it seems to ease off on the throttling compression you get at maximum gain, and the chugged palm mutes start to sound a bit more thrash-like; clear and stabby and less like an atomic bomb going off. That versatility is important for getting it to sit right with your amp. Unlike the HM-2, which if it doesn't sound good with your amp with the pedal's dials maxed out, then you are fighting a losing battle. It sounds like the original, with that added room to maneuver around your amp's natural tone. If your amp is bright, roll off the High. If your amp/cab gets a bit farty with low end, roll off the distortion, to get a much more level chug sound without compromising *that* tone. From my experience, you just can't do that with the HM-2. It's either all or nothing. With this, you have some wiggle room. Not only that, but it sounds GOOD. So close to the original that I feel a bit silly paying £100 for a Boss HM-2 some years ago. The ONLY downside is that it's plastic. For a stomp-box, I am worried as to how many stomps it will be able to take. But the tone is worth preserving, and for such a low price, you could use the money you saved on not buying a HM-2 to get a DIY FX pedal maker/modder to rehouse this for you, into something more resilient, if you really wanted to. Or you could just be careful with it. It's up to you. I am told they are more sturdy than they look and feel by folks who have had theirs a long time. We'll see. I haven't rehoused mine yet, but I am thinking about it. Ignore the reviews saying that it's bad. They just didn't know what they were buying. If you are buying this with either Swedish Death Metal in mind or that crusty grind/hardcore sound like Nails, Trap Them, Black Breath etc (which is pure Swedish Death Metal worship anyway), then you will not be disappointed! If you want a crisp, clear Brown Sound or a modern Metalcore sound, then this won't do it.
Review: Awesome Awesome Awesome (see what I did there? ha ha ha) - What!!!! This pedal is superb, and at this price an absolute no-brainer. I have an original 1970's Watkins IC300 Copycat tape delay unit, and this pedal certainly gives a superb emulation of that! It goes from classic slap back all the way to absolute chaos. The only thing I can say is - BUY ONE NOW!

*by A***L on 11 February 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent but heavy on batteries.
*by J***. on 19 January 2026*

Case is plastic so may not take a battering, changing the battery is fiddly. Current drain is 160mA so a PP3 battery will only last a few hours if used continuously. Sounds decent enough and plenty of versatility so at the price still good value.
