the maxed out hm-2 was the start of the swedish death metal sound:

In the early 1990s a death metal scene emerged in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The first wave of "Swedish death metal" consisted of the bands Carnage and Nihilist, who fragmented later into Entombed, Dismember and Unleashed. Many of these bands used the trademark Tomas Skogsberg/Sunlight Studios "buzzsaw" guitar tone. It was created by using heavily detuned electric guitars (five half notes), a maxed out Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal, sometimes in combination with a single guitar through a Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal. The originator of this guitar sound was Nihilist guitarrist Leffe Cuzner though it was evolved and altered over the years.

Gothenburg Sound

Later, the Gothenburg sound, propelled by both the Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal and the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal[citation needed] with cleaner recordings, was pioneered by bands such as At the Gates and In Flames for their respective albums Slaughter of the Soul and The Jester Race.

I once read that Clapton used to have one of these on his board. Used at a low gain setting for some dirty blues playing.....
