My swedish chainsaw just arrived.
#guitar #effects #swedishdeathmetal
EDIT:
Observations while using this pedal (Boss HM-2 wa):
- To get that iconic swedeath sound, you *need* to dime it as shown in the picture.
- Using a noise gate is recommended. Running it the recommended way is noisy. Noise floor is better in the custom mode.
- It has a *lot* of gain. Choose your levels wisely. Beware of feedback.
- Best amp settings: slight crunch, EQ at noon.

Yes, and available again. It has two modes. A new standard mode which is actually better for extended range guitars and a bit tighter in the high end, and a classic mode which basically is the original pedal. There is a switch near the power barrel where you can toggle it.

I'm a pedal minimalist, but this one is a must have. All I have on my pedalboard is a distortion, overdrive, noise gate and a tuning pedal. You don't need much for extreme metal.

Nice, well then you need a lot of options.
I love big pedalboard setups, but I hate carrying those to a venue. Not much that can break with mine. Not that many "moving" parts. How do you power that thing? All though adapters under the pedalboard? Or are you a battery guy?
