Catalinbread has launched the Carbide, a high-gain distortion pedal dealing in the sort of “chainsaw” Boss HM-2 guitar tones that became one of the foundational sounds of death metal guitar, famously used and abused by Entombed on their seminal 1990 debut album, Left Hand Path.
The Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal is one of the most important pedals in the history of metal guitar, without which death metal might have sounded very different. And like many a guitar effects pedal of pop-cultural significance, it has been cloned over and over again. So what makes Catalinbread’s Carbide any different? And why should we care?
