Chugging is fine but making a transistor sag and convulse in agony under too much voltage is just, well, it's just so much more evil than any lame distortion. Hm-2 sure, but it doesn't let you torture electronics to the point of them giving up. Voltage control (or bias) is some of the most fun controls to have when manipulating (torturing) a transistor.

@@HenritheHorse Thanks to you I now know what an alternate reality version of Jim Carrey would be like if none of his jokes landed lmao (I had to google what a Terrebery was... I'm old) Truthfully, I dont necessarily disagree with Evil Elvis. Where I think this pedal has a possible application in Doom and Stoner Metal (maybe Djent, with a Fear Factory-esque sound) I dont see it working out so great really anywhere else. It sort of reminds me of the Death By Audio Absolute Destruction, but without the novelty and being more expensive. Again, in my opinion, the pedal basically creates that 'hissing' amp break-up sound that guitar players playing dimed amps have been trying to mitigate since forever.
