Featured Tone
Left Hand Path (1990)
Ibanez X-series (Uffe Cederlund, rhythm), B.C. Rich (Alex Hellid, leads) → Peavey Studio Pro 40 (small combo amp)
The legendary 'buzzsaw' tone — an overwhelmingly distorted, chainsaw-like wall of grinding noise that sounds like a swarm of angry bees. Extremely saturated with a massive mid-scoop from the HM-2's EQ curve, combined with boosted lows and highs. The small Peavey combo adds a compressed, boxy quality. Raw, ugly, and utterly crushing — the defining sound of Swedish death metal.
