I love the concept of this. Every other HM-2 clone I've seen seems to think more knobs is the way to go. This one is basically like, "Fuck it. You're just going to do to the Swedish Death Metal thing anyway so we're only giving you control over the amount of distortion and take care of the rest for you." And it sounds awesome too. If I wasn't broke right now, I'd spring for one.
This is my favorite distortion pedal…ever. Hands down. It’s versatile for metal. I can play anything from black metal, to grimy 70’s stoner rock like Pentagram, to Entombed riffs, and punishing modern doom/sludge/drone material. It’s worth the money threefold. You can adjust the tone on your amp of with an equalizer pedal, but honestly with the one knob, it restrains you from making crappy EQ choices. Sometimes less is more. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 I give it a 666/10 rating.
So glad you’re digging it, Josef! Thanks so much for that awesome review. If you get a chance please leave it on the website at doesitdoom.com/product/doomsaw
I just got my Doom Saw today and its fucking amazing! Came with some cool stickers and a badass guitar pick too. And I only ordered it 3 days ago!! Thank you for a great product! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Just got this and a Giza in the mail today and they both sound absolutely incredible! Very quick delivery too, only placed the order two days ago and it got here around noon today! Loved the extras that came with it too, you’re the fuckin man, Steve! 🔥
Sounds crushing and looks awesome. I have an HM2 from 1983/4 and would never replace it but from all the clones running around i think i might add this take.
Just purchased a doomsaw to go with my elder lord and blues driver on my board for my Epi LP (Also using with my P bass). I love your products and definitely plan on buying a Warlord when the color I want is available.
I saw this the other day on another channel. Holy crap that thing is insane , that's what I'd want to hear if I was going into battle. It's the bazooka of pedals 🤘☠️🎸
I recently wrote a stoner metal song using a HM-2 sound. The way the distortion is borderline fuzz actually works really well, I just had to turn down the highs a little.
OH man what an amazing idea. ALWAYS loved the tone of entombed and the bands using that crushing chainsaw tone but could be a little bigger and a little less harsh. Looks like this is THE PEDAL
Hello from Australia I freaking love Does It Doom, not sure if this is the right place to make requests but one of my fave bands is Electric Wizard and would love to see the chosen few and chrononaut lessons if possible. Much appreciated for your time as this channel inspires me to keep rocking even at my age of 51. Cheers
In a world of HM-2s with internal and external pot fiddling and futzing, a brutal single knob no fucking around from Nick Williams and Does It Doom? is 🖤🤘
@@DoesItDoom My God...I plugged this pedal into my Orange Crush Pro 120 and started ripping through some Bolt Thrower and Hail of Bullets riffs....I wound up rattling some fillings right out of my teeth! This pedal is giving some monumentally thick tones.
Got mine today, it's just outstanding. Taming the high end how they did really makes it for me, with my HM2, Wurm and Left Hand Wrath the chainsaw sound is uncontrolably wild as one might expect. But with this thing, I can run a boost into it to tighten it up and get a perfect At the Gates/Bloodbath sort of sound that isn't really possible with my other HM2 inspired pedals. This is a must have for anyone wanting that "blended" HM2 sound that still has defined pick attack and chugs a little.
Sounds amazing!! Definitely need some lessons or videos of you doing some Entombed now! Damn Deal Done, or Wolverine Blues Title Track would sound amazing.
How often do these sell out? I need to get my hands on one. Love the way it sounds on bass. The hm-2 was the first pedal I ever bought. I got a made in Taiwan version for $20 at a pawn shop. I still have it today and it's basically broken at this point but I won't get rid of it
Just ordered mine! Just a thought, but now that you’re working with the guy from Dunwich, have you thought about making any Lovecraft themed pedals? Perhaps “The Distortion Out of Space”, “The Fuzz That Doth Corrupt”, or “The Dunwich Reverb”?
Quick question - how do you noise gate this? I use one and have a lot of problem with the guitar squealing uncontrollably when it isn't played, even with a noise gate in the chain.
I can’t think of any doom bands that use hm2s but it really is a great tone for doom. I recorded a Forced Lobotomysong with my Eyemaster(an hm2 clone) that has some really doomy sections in it (although for that project I use an hm2 waza now).
I returned it a couple days later. Was a cool guitar but the finish was really fucked (and not in a cool vintage way but in a “wow it looks like their is moisture trapped under the poly all over this thing” kind of way”). Neck was really thin, guitar was super heavy, and overall it just didn’t compare to my First Act DC’s. Kinda stopped chasing them after that.

any plans for a restock? I dont mind boss but id rather support you and Nick
Any plans to restock? I want to get my hands on one of these! prefer this sound over the HM-2.
An HM-2 with even more low end… What a time to be alive
😂🤘🏻🤘🏻
Kinda reminds me of the early mayhem guitar and bass tone on songs like chainsaw gutsfuck
Yes!
Mayhem actually did use the HM-2 on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas and they used a HM-2 clone on Deathcrush.
I love the concept of this. Every other HM-2 clone I've seen seems to think more knobs is the way to go. This one is basically like, "Fuck it. You're just going to do to the Swedish Death Metal thing anyway so we're only giving you control over the amount of distortion and take care of the rest for you." And it sounds awesome too. If I wasn't broke right now, I'd spring for one.
Glad you dig it! We tried to take a bit of a different approach with it for sure.
The rule of KISS never fails. From electronics, to engines, and what have ya.
haha the Death Saw by JPTR FX only has an on/off switch!
who turns down the distortion? the EQ on HM2 is MUCH MORE functional
Bro, y'all keep absolutely murdering it. Y'all deserve every bit of success you are having and will continue to have
Really appreciate that, Bobby!
love the single knob concept with your pedals
Thanks Martin.
Hooded Menace uses 2 HM-2's in their signal chain haha. Great tones as always, probably pick this one up!
Nice! Glad you dig it man!
As a bassist I've decided that all I need is a good P-Bass to do anything. And that P-Bass you have is one of the coolest color combos. Dig it.
You're probably the most knowledgeable guy on this platform when it comes to this style of music and gear used. super cool
HM2 clones are where it’s at! Of all of them, this is one of the coolest I’ve seen/heard.
Lethal design and great demo, Steve! Cheers!
Glad you dig it, Zach!
When you broke out the Bongzilla I broke out my wallet and ordered one. Awesome job man.
Such a great tune. Really liked how the Doomsaw sounded on that stuff.
that sounds just about how i would want an updated hm2 tone type thing to sound... & i need one
Glad you dig it!!

There's literally a bass demo in the video

Oh man, to me that just sounds like the perfect modification to be made to that circuit. Beautifully disgusting! Great job brother!
Glad you thought so, Sam! Really fun working with Nick.
I love how your slowly turning into Saruman with the hair man 🧙♂️ keep it up ! 😎
Haha! Will keep it going. 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
I also really like the metal master it's pretty cool.
I never understand how more doom bands didnt use the hm-2 it's pretty cool :)
Great job Nick! New Pedal sounds absolutely killer !!!! - PureSalem Guitars
Glad you dig it, Rick. We're beyond stoked to be working with Nick. He's a true wizard and a master of the craft.
All the Does it Doom pedals are incredible, but this one might be my favorite!!!!
Thanks so much Saxo!
Sounds crushing and looks awesome.
I have an HM2 from 1983/4 and would never replace it but from all the clones running around i think i might add this take.
Gotta love an old MIJ!
Steve. You got me man. You sold me on this one. I'm ordering one of these. Thank you again from the great frozen tundra up here in Wisconsin!
Glad you dig it, Derek!!
Done and ordered, my man. Can't wait!
Glad you dig it man!
Thomas Jager also sometimes uses an HM2 with monolord!
Yes! I knew I’d seen it on his Instagram but wasn’t sure if he used it. Gonna need to listen for it.
Gary Holt has this pedal in his live rig!!
Just ordered one now. Excited to see what it sounds like through my rig and warlord!
Hell yeah!!! Hopefully you saw the Rigs Of Death Metal demo as well. He also used a Warlord.
@@DoesItDoom Glad to say it sounds gnarly! Best HM2 style pedal I ever tried. keep making rocking stuff!
Great demo man!
Thanks Jason. Had a lot of fun putting this one together.
it sounds gorgeous
🪚🪚🪚🪚
Monolord’s album vaenir definitely has some hm-2 tones on it, the track “we will burn” in particular
Indeed! Going to have to listen for it. I think you're right.
Steve this pedal just kills it Bro as all of your pedals do.
Thanks, Ricky!! Glad you dig it bro.
Heard the first demo and immediately ordered, this is the tone I’ve been chasing! Can’t wait
Glad you dig it!

Accurate! All of the demos that came out over the past week were so well done. Glad you dig it!
When I hear this tone, I immediately think of Come My Fanatics/Supercoven-era Electric Wizard, the second of which I spotted you covered 🤘
That bass sounded sick for real for real. One knob hm 2 is brilliant
Thanks Brian. Glad you dig it man!
Just ordered mine, cant wait!
Hell yes!! Glad you dig it Joel.
Awesome demo. I definitely need one of these in my fuzz arsenal.
Glad you dig it man! 🪚🪚
Doom is not what I play, but I know it when I hear it. This is absolutely punishing.
Glad you dig it! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Straight up brutal in a box. Crushing it as always man! Take care!
Appreciate it Ryan!
Just put my order in, can't wait to add it to my Doomboard.
Can't wait to hear what you think!
Cant wait to get mine!
Shipped today!
It sounds good. I like that it only has one big knob. Good shit! My favorite HM-2 style band is Bloodbath.
Thanks man!
I recently wrote a stoner metal song using a HM-2 sound. The way the distortion is borderline fuzz actually works really well, I just had to turn down the highs a little.
Agreed!
Freaking awesome . Hell of a demo 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks, brother! Love your demos. Much appreciated.
I'd assume Bagshaw used one in Ramesses. Absolutely love this Band and the "Possessed by the rise of Magik"-album.
Crazy Man.. Nice Pedal Steve
Thanks Hippie!
That is a digger sized chainsaw! Sounds fantastic
Thanks dude! 🪚🪚🪚
Awesome stuff :d more chainsaw is always a good thing 🍻 Sounds excellent!
Thanks, dude. Seems like you would know best!
There is a good french death/doom band called Atavisma that uses the hm2 pedal
Gonna check em out! Thanks!
Great stuff as always
Thanks brother.

@@DoesItDoom should be here Monday! Can’t wait bro. Thanks again!

@@grendelhvs headed your way tomorrow! 🤘🏻🪚
Well...had to order one. Now I have to figure out if I replace my BAT Pharoah Supreme or my Randall RGOD preamp pedal on my board for it.
Thanks man! Glad you're diggin it!
@@DoesItDoom My God...I plugged this pedal into my Orange Crush Pro 120 and started ripping through some Bolt Thrower and Hail of Bullets riffs....I wound up rattling some fillings right out of my teeth! This pedal is giving some monumentally thick tones.
@@veyuslavic2590 yes!!! Stoked to hear that!
@@veyuslavic2590 so glad to hear it man!!
Pretty sure Monolord uses an HM-2 on a track like Cursing the One. Anywho, great job man, love the artwork!
Hmm. I think you might be right. Might be some HM-2 mixed in here and there with their more typical FZ-2 tones.
Got mine today, it's just outstanding. Taming the high end how they did really makes it for me, with my HM2, Wurm and Left Hand Wrath the chainsaw sound is uncontrolably wild as one might expect.

@@DoesItDoom Done! Thanks for your work on this, mine is definitely going to see a lot of use.
@@cyberneticghost4876 thanks man. Much appreciated!
Beats the hell out of my current setup (eyemaster, 8 band EQ pedal into a modded 80s peavey rage 158 as a head into an Ibanez tone blaster 4x12 cab)
That thing sounds awesome
Thanks brother! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
Ordered!! I have a HM-2 but I need this Doomsaw in my life!! Tune low, play slow \m/
Glad you dig it!
Want that guitar, looks and sounds sweet
Thanks Devin!
Sounds amazing!! Definitely need some lessons or videos of you doing some Entombed now! Damn Deal Done, or Wolverine Blues Title Track would sound amazing.
Yes! Glad you dig it man.

Check out the record Hymns for the Cursed by Lazarus Blackstar, love their HM-2ish guitar tone!
Will do!
Sounds killer!
Thanks Nick!
Sounds almost like a voodoo octave just with one setting from it but would you do a comparison?
"Hm2 eq that is truly tuned for doom" holy alliteration batman
Hahaha!
My favorite doom chainsaw tone has to be from Hooded Menace’s Gloom Immemorial. That entire albums production is just downright swampy
Gave it a listen. Enjoyed it.
This sound filthy in all the right ways
Yes! Glad you dig it.
Just got one!!🔥🤘🏼
Yes!!
Shit sounds thicc af with the dirtiness in that tone cuhzz. I don’t own any pedals but this feels like it might be my 1st.
Next run coming this Thursday. 🤘🏻
@@DoesItDoom and pay day was today; it’s kismet!
🥵 siiiick. That’s the sound I’ve been looking for.
Glad you dig it man!
Holy shyt I just had a flashback at 0:04 I thought it went to the isolated Beat It solo by Eddie.
I just ordered this one. This will make 3 Does It Doom pedals on my board.
Sounds like the guitar tone we used for batholith -alpine tomb
ruclips.net/video/FgBFeLQQnnU/видео.html
Sounds kind of like the Distortion that konvent uses
Nice. Need to check 'em out.
Just ordered mine! Just a thought, but now that you’re working with the guy from Dunwich, have you thought about making any Lovecraft themed pedals? Perhaps “The Distortion Out of Space”, “The Fuzz That Doth Corrupt”, or “The Dunwich Reverb”?
Low key want to get into building guitars just for fun, and now I wanna make one out of a repurposed secondhand chainsaw go go along with this mod
Hahah!
great another hm-2 clone I don't need but WANT
Check out Morgion’s Solinari album
Will do!
KILLER PEDAL!!! What pickups are in your gold SG? I have a similar metallic gold SG Traditional Pro with stock
Thanks Jeff! That guitar has the stock Epiphone Alnico Pro humbuckers.
Quick question - how do you noise gate this? I use one and have a lot of problem with the guitar squealing uncontrollably when it isn't played, even with a noise gate in the chain.
I don’t run noise gates but HM-2 Cult has a great video about how to noise gate the HM-2. Maybe it will help: ruclips.net/video/uw86yvM1OuA/видео.html
Please restock :)))))
Back in stock now! doesitdoom.com/product/doomsaw
Pretty sure Hymn's Breach Us uses it
Gonna check 'em out!
Make sure you listen to this one through some good speakers. This pedal saws right through my phone's shitty speakers haha.
Very awesome 👌
It is quite different on some good speakers. Phones strip a ton of low end.
I could be mistaken, but on Pallbearer's 2010 demo it sounds like "Gloomy Sunday" has an HM-2 on the guitars, or at least a tamed HM-2.
Gonna give it a listen!
How has Ola Englund not demoed this pedal on his channel?
does this have adjustable internal pots?
I can’t think of any doom bands that use hm2s but it really is a great tone for doom. I recorded a Forced Lobotomysong with my Eyemaster(an hm2 clone) that has some really doomy sections in it (although for that project I use an hm2 waza now).
Nice!
>...gyrating eq...
i'm not sure if I hate this joke or if I love it. whoever wrote it definitely deserves a raise either way.
Holy damn It's young Saruman :O
O man ! those Conan riffs)))))
So crushing!
BASS demo ..... thanks !!!!!
When the kite string pops, Sammy uses the HM-2. Not sure what mike uses, nonetheless it's a great album.
Sammy used an MT-2 in Acid Bath.
@@DoesItDoom I had to look it up to see the difference, I got confused your right. Are these pedals really that different though?
@@lieutenantdan2217 HM-2 vs MT-2 is a pretty big difference in tone, yeah. The Doomsaw is based on the HM-2.
@@DoesItDoom cool man. Love the channel, thanks for the info.
@@lieutenantdan2217 anytime, bro. Thanks for watching.
I love it. What string gauge?
Sounds awesome.
Sorry to go off topic, but do you still have your Yamaha SG2000? Just the one video of it.
I returned it a couple days later. Was a cool guitar but the finish was really fucked (and not in a cool vintage way but in a “wow it looks like their is moisture trapped under the poly all over this thing” kind of way”). Neck was really thin, guitar was super heavy, and overall it just didn’t compare to my First Act DC’s. Kinda stopped chasing them after that.
