Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

The Behringer HM300 is a heavy metal distortion pedal modeled after the Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal circuit, famous for producing the extreme buzzsaw-like high-gain distortion associated with Swedish death metal. The HM-2 topology uses four distinct band controls covering high, low, and two mid frequencies, allowing extreme scooped mid voicings. Full saturation with all controls maximized produces the chainsaw wall of sound most closely associated with Swedish bands like Entombed and Dismember. At lower gain settings the HM300 provides 1980s-era metal rhythm tones. A budget alternative to the original Boss unit and boutique HM-2 clones.
The Revv Northern Mauler, developed with metal engineer Glenn Fricker, packs two entirely separate analog gain circuits with a Blend knob to move between them. One side is an all-new Revv high-gain amp voice with a percussive, amp-in-a-box feel and 3-band EQ, distinct from the G3 or G4; the other is a tribute to the Boss HM-2's grimy, chaotic Swedish chainsaw tone that defined death metal's most aggressive scene. Blended together, the chainsaw side adds cut, character, and memorable edge to the traditional high-gain Amp circuit, functioning as a melodeath-in-a-box at full chainsaw mix or a more traditional metal and punk voice with the Amp circuit alone. It suits metal players wanting either a percussive modern high-gain amp tone, a raw HM-2-style chainsaw distortion, or a blend of both in one pedal.
