Beta Aivin is a rather little-known Chinese brand manufacturing affordable analog pedals. Although Chinese made, these are really of good quality and yield awesome tone. Boutique-freaks would diss them like mad, but you gotta play one to believe it.
The HM-200 Heavy Metal is a high-gain distortion aimed at metal players. As opposed to the HM-100, this has a warmer sound and is more towards modern heavy metal. There are high (treble), low (bass), frequency, mids, level and distortion knobs, for you to tweak.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEATURES
The high, low, level and distortion are standard EQ, but the frequency and mids work together to range from a fat, natural high-gain sound (like the Marshall tone) to the mids-oriented, tight tone Metallica uses. Amazing versatility and tweakability.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUILD / APPEARANCE
The build is very solid, but the footswitch is quite sensitive, but once you get used to it its no longer a problem. The footswitch and most of the pedal is made of solid metal, with some plastic parts. Quite a classy-looking pedal, too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
TONE
Here's where this monster blows. Like I said earlier, this pedal can range from fat, marshall tone to tight mesa boogie tone, and it aces it. This is actually a very bassy sounding pedal, and more towards modern metal. As compared to the Line 6 Uber Metal, this monster is bassier, more powerful and more natural sounding. The HM-100 has a nasal tone, but the HM-200 is more natural sounding. Shakes the floor, makes my 10watt amp sound like a 100watt. Yeah, tube-sounding distortion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
9V power. Available at Standard Value (STANDARD VALUE) at $85. The HM-100 is also available at $75. Check it out, people! Any questions, feel free to ask. :mrgreen:
