There’s quite a few One-Knob HM-2 Death Metal Distortion Pedals out there - but this is NOT that! Rather the Death Knob is just the Twin Peaks HM-2 EQ Frequency Profile - such that you can bring that flavour to your current amp - in front, and into the FX Loop. You can also combine it with a variety of Distortion Pedals to deliver that HM0-2 Death Metal profile - or combine with other pedals - to bring elements of that flavour to bear. Once again - this does not contain any facet of the actual core HM-2 Distortion - just the EQ Profile!
You choose how much or how little of that flavour you wish to bring to bear - courtesy of the one Blend Knob / Death Knob. That’s really all there is to it - combining this in various ways with amps and other complementary pedals.
I actually have quite a few pedals which have an ’HM-2’ EQ Switch on them - in particular some Drunik Beaver varieties - while this Death Knob is the only pedal I’m aware of that carries that over to a stand-alone format.
The pricing is pretty much spot on - at £125 / $125, where this article is specifically written to support my friend Jim @ Boost Guitar Pedals.
I have around 20 actual HM-2 type pedals - so it’s not like I need this ’Death Knob’ - while I still really want one, and will arrange to get one from Boost Guitar Pedals - so I can check it out with all my various favourite non-HM-2 gain pedals!
The Demos sound pretty great for sure!
