10:00 This is the sound dudes like Leo Fender and Les Paul had in mind when they started constructing first electric guitars back in fifties
fucking lol
I want to like your comment more than once.
Leo Fender listened to this from Guitar Heaven and I quote his words:
"... Fuck yeah. That's the tone."
LMAO
I heard they couldn't stop laughing diabolically for hours after having just the thought of it.
You must build your uwn guitar with an IKEA shelf for MAXIMUM Swedish Tone.
😁😁😁
Rob Scallon took note!
Lol
they are hollow
LOL
I was wondering why the views on my HM-2 video just increased tenfold.
Great tones, Ola.
Man, at first I thought this video was a parody like yours but he had a good tone ._.
You can say that you have ALL THE GAIN!!
Eh, it could’ve used more gain.
As Peter would say: No gain, no Pain
You forgot to mention the Swedish tuned dropped C# lol
I used to work in a music shop and one of the guys in Dismember used to get his guitars setup and fixed by me before/after tours.
One time he came in with a HHM-2 that had a busted pot. (For like the fifth time since they didn't use gates back then, just stomping it on and off between breaks)
Anyways... Since i knew what the settings was i asked him if it wasn't simpler to just remove all of the pots and solder "straight through"
"Shure why not.. I'm not turning those suckers anyways"
We ended up with a HM-2 with no knobs what so ever... and since all the nobs "steal" a little even att full throttle that one ended up being the "Turbo-HM-2"
Later he told me he used it on "Where Iron Crosses Grow" since it had a little more of everything.
Thank you for that bit of golden information!
That sounds amazing
jonas åhlen killer 🤘🏻🤘🏻 the Swedish Chainsaw Massacre 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow
Dammit, this is a cool fucking story.

Wolverine, like wool off a sheep.
I don't care, i'm italian xD
Thank you ola ;)
Hey!! you should plug it into the satan and crank up all the gain!!! hello from Pennsylvania United States!
I don't think you have enough gain
Wesley ur a funny guy!! Ha! Ha! V⚡
I say let's use multiple Boss HS-2's!
Doesn't CHOOMPHF CHOOMPHF CHOOMPHF sound like enough gain for you?
There is never enought gain
😂😂😂
They should do a special edition HM-2 with the Swedish flag 🇸🇪 paint theme
And the twin city crests of Gothenburg and Stockholm on either side.
@@Darwinist What Pedal do they use in Trollhattan?
That is a great idea! That would be so cool! I am surprised none of the manufacturers who make clones of this pedal have done that.
...better copyright that
Abominable electronics have an HM-2 clone pedal with the Swedish flag painted on the case, it’s an incredible pedal
One time I plugged my Metal Zone into my HM-2. There's still remnants of the blood stain on my floor.
Wasn't slaugther of the soul recorded like that?
@@ossisuomalainen early At the Gates was at least
you had your period?
Gotta try running my Metal Zone into my Grunge pedal
"Have you ever heard of Swedish Death Metal?"
Hmm...it rings a bell, yeah...
It causes ringing on your ears that's for sure.
Sounds like white noise from more than 30 feet away...

I prefer King Crysler.
“W”olverine like “Water”.
By the way, the hm-2 is suppose to go into a DIRTY channel. For that over saturated death sound. Preferably with an EMG 81 pickup in the bridge.
Since you have this amp, it would be great if you made a video about Chuck Schuldiner's guitar tone (he used the same amp on most of his albums). Cheers!
nice idea
jowiszgaming PL IIRC, Chuck's rig is pretty minimalistic. A guitar with only a bridge pickup straight into a Marshall head
Yes!!
And early Meshuggah!
Big part of his sound was B.B.Sonic Maximizer, although he didn't use it live.
They should have used the HM-2 for Kylo Ren's light saber sound effect.
Here's how you find the lost volume knob: go out and buy a new one.
When you get back from your local music store, that missing volume knob will be at the door to greet you upon your return. 😉
All 321 dislikes are from Gothenburg.
I liked and I'm from Gothenburg.
@@Jikdor Det är bra xD
Fy fan va gött 🤘🏻
Nah it came from Florida death metal
Back in 1996 I had this pedal in a black metal band with Martin Lopez and Martin Mendez (opeth) and we recorded a demo before they move to Sweden, lots of good memories :)
Te refieres a Eternal?
Si exacto :D
Que grandes! Ya no se consigue ese demo no? Soy de Rocha
Claro que si pero solo por descarga :) mega.co.nz/#!4Qxj2YAI!HxDJKMUJL_RmIWIyhUdCEkZuWRuQ4IlrR28qS5vLmgM

Un abrazo! \m/
Muchas gracias por la info! Buscaba en formato físico, digital lo tengo.. Vamo' arriba la escena charrúa!
sounds like ola finally got sick of guys telling him he makes everything sound the same haha
i think everybody sets every amp to sound as they personaly like...not the way the amp is ment to be set up...for example i like bass 7.8, mids 6.5, treble 4.5 OR bass 7, mids 4, treble 4....in every amp try...then if is not sounding how i like it...i start analyzing the amp: is it focused in lows, mids or highs? and then start dialing again
We broke Ola
Put the bass at 7.8 and treble at 4.5 on a boogie Mark series...I dare you.
Oh god, that would be a farty mess. For my Mesas I tend to have bass around 10 o clock, mids 12-1, treble 11-1.
Just put everything on 666 lol
Oh, the HM2.
It's a must have if you want to sound like the cabinet is broken :D
ChristianIce ciao zi
Saves me time on manually breaking my cabinets.
Sounds like shit in reality. I own this pedal. I’d never use it again. It’s just for collecting.
Ti amo
Nonsense, heaps of bands get a killer sound out of it!
since it's a swedish band,it must be "volvo-rine"
But pronounce the V's like its a W.
So it's wolwerine
That cracked me up.
The tone at 3:45 sounds like a weaponized power saw.
Zakk Wylde
the 13 year old in me is screaming
BlapDuck
Don't let kids be inside you... that's disgusting and illegal
*They’re on to me...*
0/10 didn't play Eaten by Bloodbath. jk ily
Nightmares Made Flesh was indeed recorded using the HM-2, but the sound was so heavily edited/mixed by Dan Swanö that it sounds nothing like that classic Swedeath sound you hear in this vid. Both are great tho, not trying to bash either one. Personally prefer the NMF sound.
My one desire my only wish is to be.....
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO BE......
Ethan... i mean, Eaten.
My one daisari, my only vichy's to be E-10
I just love the old Swedish death metal tone like Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed, Grave, Bloodbath and Entrails.
I just started listening to grave and they are sooooo brutal the heaviest band I’ve ever heard hoping they release a new album eventually
At 7:26 I pissed myself laughing.
Ola went full savage there... Like, viking savage...
I consider myself a youtube veteran. I have seen a lot of youtube videos over the years. This is one of the best videos i have seen. It is informative, it is fun, it is iconic, and it is sophisticated on several levels, while also being moronic in a good way. For one second I thought Göteborg was in Denmark, but then i remembered that we (I am danish) suck at making good metal :-(
Fuldstændig enig!
You don't need too many bands, with Mercenary you got respect enough! 🔥🎶
You got king diamond man!
Darkane?
@@VitrificationOfBlood 💀💀👍🤘
The HM-2 is the reason Sweden does not need a standing army. The ultimate deterrent. But at what cost?
CIRCLE OF TONE. Love your videos! Keep it up!
Thanks man
I can’t tell if it’s meant to be having a go at the hm or sarcasm
at the cost of a bombing every other hour and a mosque on every corner
CIRCLE OF TONE. Since its manufactured in Japan, you should consider it an international arms deal...
now we're snacking bois
JÄÄÄÄÄH!!!!!
NU SNACKER VI!
Yes now we snacking my män
Sounds like someone is using the blender to mix coins while you play guitar.
7:25 I see you've brought us some Stockholm Black Metal
Wolverine blues is one of the most underrated metal albums out there imo. That record is simply fantastic.
Not underrated for everyone who was listening to death metal in the 90ies.
One of my fave death metal albums for sure. So groovey and heavy.
That album is perfection
Shame what happened to the band though.
Wolverine Blues AND To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth are extremely underrated... But I mean, Metallica steals from those albums all the time so that says a lot.
After watching this video, i became a fucking viking warrior, complete with axe, beard and a fucking drakkar! It's so swedish, uh...
Postie Don't forget your mead!
Psycho Chicken Öh, ýeah, it is mÿ drakkär, btw!
7:25 " YES "
One if my ex-girlfriends is from Gothenburg. In fact, she moved back there, eventually.
I remember hanging out with her & her mom when I was younger. I was on acid & they spoke in Swedish. It freaked me out, because I thought they were speaking backwards.
😂
Crazy trip.
I wonder what Ola thinks of Hexenhaus. They weren’t death metal, but Mike Wead’s rhythm guitar work with that band was a MAJOR influence on my rhythm playing. I listened to “Tribute to Insanity” & “Edge of Eternity” a lot when I started playing thrash metal (before that I played punk).
Hexenhaus is mega underrated, as well as the rest of the Swedish thrash scene. Funny story though!
@@ThrashRebel i swear the ones who talk about their exes online are the most incelic ones
Please do more videos in Swedish, it sounds so cool.
1:52 reminds me of skwisgaar skwigelf
Lmao same
NO
Stop that shit
EVERYFING ON MAX
Valvestate and HM2 in the same video? Too much classic shit and stuff, I can't take it. Awesome.
I was laughing because I have that exact same setup as my backup :)
3:44 "Now we're snacking" Lmao!
My favorite TH-cam guitarist for sure. Its comedic, gets to the point, and he even left his fuck ups in the video. Thanks for the videos Ola!

Loki: 'I have an army...'
Ola: 'I have an HM-2 pedal...'
Loki: :0
Marvel ruined Norse religion to the point of parody. Marvel’s Odin and Thor are as heterosexual as Greek Hellenist belief which survives today even in marvel but in the afghan national army with the soldiers whom seem more attracted to little ‘tea boys’ and grooming them with hard drugs....ugh.
Sorry but this is the moment that the real Scandinavians and their North East British descendants/cousins can effortlessly tell each other apart via readiness to use HM-2s
0:40 - I thought you were showing us Skyrim for a second
You little cute swede, you!
Hahahaha
hans meier okay... 😏
😁😁🐱🐱🐱🐱🐈🐈🐈🐈🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Kind of gay ngl
Vräääääääääl!!!!
(I greet you from sweden)
Swedish death metal can be classified as follows: Stockholm Raw Death Metal, Gothenburg Melodic Death Metal and Opeth 🤣🤣🤣
Some non-swedish bands that use the Boss-HM2 swedish style :
Atavisma - Doom/Death from France
Horrendous - Melodic Death from the US
Dragged into Sunlight - Blackened Sludge from the UK
SpaceWitch - Stoner from the UK
Nails - Powerviolence from the US
Ssanahtes - Progressive Sludge/Hardcore from France
Implore - Grindcore from Germany
Ekpyrosis - Death Metal from Italy
The Secret - Hardcore from Italy
Graveyard - Death Metal from Spain
All Pigs Must Die - Hardcore Punk from US.
Have fun with that !
Giorgio Tskhadadze 9:59 was a "ah. I know what kinda pedal Dragged into Sunlight and Nails are using" moment lol
Harm's Way, Cursed Earth, Like Rats, Wolfbrigade (I believe) use it or variants as well!
Hemlok used the HM 2 into a Fender Twin for the Guitar sounds.
It sounds very Magrudergrind too.
add Trap Them to that list.
Det är väldigt skumt att höra dig snacka svenska efter flera år av engelska. Man hör ju svenska i The Haunted vloggerna men annars liksom. wtf Ola.
With the overdrive channel it almost sounds like there's a really shitty bass tone underneath the guitar... :D
Damn, I have been wondering how to create that sound for years. Amazing. This video makes me want to go back and listen to Clandestine or Left Hand Path.
212 people come from Gothenburg
Does that include Andy LaRoc?
V⚡
322 by now.
*Limited Edition*
“But it’s true.” 😂😂😂
"It's a joke, don't get offended...but it's true."
Bwaaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
7:27 would sound way better with all the mids scooped out though. The best guitar tone is one you can shave with.
Not if it sounds like "ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssss ssssssssssssss ssssss ssssssssssss" when playing.
Hmm...let's take a midrange instrument & cut out the mids. Genius. Congrats on not only destroying ur tone but also standing on ur bass player's dick. Kudos on multitasking...
I usually put the tone nob on full, 10% treble, 30% bass and 100% mids, sounds way better
You just made my 30€ bluetooth bar sound like a 100W stack.
"Everything on max!" had me dying. This is why i keep coming back.
Hur man blir utskickad från 4sound på 2 röda
HAHHAHAHA!! Sant, tyvärr.
Hahah köpte en Boss DS-1 och blev nästan utslängs för att ha maxat ut alla inställningarna👍
faan sant asså
Patrik Nessbo ha snacka om att inte ha någon respekt.
Lidl musik...
"Now we´re snacking" :D
Haha! Yeah! What was that supposed to say?
EDIT: "Nu snakker vi." It means, "now we're talking."
@@superheavydeathmetal Yep that joke makes more sense when you understand norsk and english ;) ^^
"Let's try it out with a lil bit of gain"
*complete buzzsaw messy sound*
I've always wondered what the vikings would have thought if they heard modern day heavy metal. Would they love it? would they hate it? would they listen to it before battle? What do you guys think?
Viking music is pretty damn heavy for its time that’s for sure
They did throat singing which is basically death growls before there were death growls
The HM-2 (edit!! and MT-2) and MZ-2 get so much hate but they were great for that late 80's/early 90's full on metal tone. I think they stand up today, too! You got your sub, amigo! I enjoyed your playing and humour :)
Vulva-rine... I'll never, ever see the word "wolverine" the same... Hahaha....
Your BEST video in YEARS!!!
Someone stole my HM-2 more than 20 years ago. Never was able to replace it. Kinda blows, as I actually did like that pedal.
You can easily grab a couple from Ebay or such for 40 - 50 USD. It's not really a rare pedal :) Boss made a ton of them in the 80s and it was very popular then in hair metal(!).
I talked to Alex Hellid from Entombed before a show in CA when Clandestine came out and I asked him about his setup, when he told me all he used was the Heavy Metal pedal from Boss I didn't believe him but yup, pretty much that's all he used. They sounded great live, identical to the album.
7:27 BLOODBATH TONE!
From booklet of Slaugher of the Soul reissue:
I know that Anders has been hassled for seven long years about the “Slaughter of the Soul” guitar sound… This is how you do… Are you ready…; One Boss Heavy Metal Distortion pedal, One Boss Metal Zone distortion pedal, One Peavey Supreme 160 amp… and here’s the tricky part; Anders´ home build cabinet with 2x10” and 2x12” speakers…
I got a Behringer HM300 and I can make the "same tone" using all the things in max xD
Yes, it's because it's a copy of the Boss HM-2
I have the dod fx86 the first version of this thing is a clone and comes entombed settings in manual. haha Does the exact same thing too.
There's 3 versions of this dod death metal pedal one I have is blood paint splatter silver logo, the white block and digitech are pretty much different than the original fx86.
Sacrilege to purists, But If you turn the "Dist" all the way down and use the gain from the amp, you can bring some of the amps character in while retaining that "buzzsaw" sound. I'd love to see what tonal sculpting could be achieved using the HM-2 that way with the Randal Satan.
I use minimal dist, level all the way up, and EQ knobs both around 1 o'clock. Sounds MASSIVE.
I prefer as well to use this way, it brings a more massive and tight sound :D
I ve used boss hm 2 over years in many amps and it works not good in the gain channels.To much Feedback ,i know that dismember do this very well in the gain channel of Marshall jcm.But in my Randall G3 plus it works very bad.Record one track with boss hm 2 in clean channel and one tracks with the gain channel of your amp.This works and give you a unique and awesome Sound.
this guy does a similar thing: th-cam.com/video/8oQTygtsEMs/w-d-xo.html
If I remember correctly Mika from Rotten Sound dials the dist back on his HM-2. All those modern bands that use the HM-2 make small alterations to that all-10 setting. I also found you can also get a neat octave down effect if you set the high knob to some low value.
He forgot to mention that in the Euro coin, Sweden looks like a dick!! hahah :D (P.S. I absolutely LOVE SWEDEN, even did my own record with Fred Nordstrom in Gothenburg! Really good people, funny sense of humour haha ) :D
Interesting video. The HM-2 is an awesome pedal, it was the first pedal I bought back in 1984, for £25 second hand and I'm still using it now. Best distortion tone ever, I've bought numerous pedals since but none match the tone of the HM-2.
His reaction at 7:25 on the "hiss" tone kills me. "Yes!!" Lmao...
I died when he looked at the camera and said "YES" and proceeded to chug
Ahhh valvestate..... what memories. My first amp, will always miss you ....... uuuhuuuu.
Same here, 8240 combo :D
Me too, i had a valvestate vs65r
I still have my old vs30r...it gets used as a 'coffee table' to put shit on when I'm on the sofa...
Yup, I had an 8020 and 8100 in the early 90s. I loved those amps!
Yup I had a vs65r
This guy's hilarious
3:21 When you're a Sweed but you speak E S P A N O L
Dissection! one of my favs. Storm of the Lights Bane great album
best band and best album fckn ever!
Wool-verene.. no "v"sound.. thats a Swedish thing, Great tone on that pedal. I use it myself. Also have the ever present, Boss MT-2. people either love 'em, or hate 'em.. Not my best choice for metal paedals, but they do have their place. My fav for metal tones is the Diezel VH4....Great vid my friend!!!
Why does this vid have over 200 downvotes?
Why would you come to such a niche video and give it a thumbs-down? Like, if you don't like Swedish metal/Ola/Feared etc, how would you even find this video?
I just don't get it.
TH-cam recommendation
DS-1 fanboys
In German, it’s Volkswerine.
The greatest Swedish guitar sound is on Opeth-Still Life (not lead, but riffs, also clean parts maybe in top 10 in the world)
Clandestine. Sounds like a bad toothache.
Storm Of The Light’s Bane and Enter the Moonlight Gate
That tone hits like a freight train
Ola: “Ok, just a little bit of gain...”
Also Ola: Proceeds to summon 62526749597261.5 bees straight from the mouth of Satan and blasts them through the HM-2, before feeding them cocaine and trapping them in the Marshall’s overdrive channel
Because MMMEEEETTTTTTAAAAALLLLLL!!!!
So much radness here 🤘
Wolverine Blues is Perfect Death N'Roll Album.
You need to check out the band Nails
And then you have Peter Tagtgren in the Abyss district of Sweden.
After years asking for Ola with the HM2 i can finally touch myself watching you man
The old Marshall Valvestates were unreal. I remember it being my first 'serious' amp and it had a really nice sounding distortion. Hard to find these days in good condition like that one.
"My favorite Entombed Album is Wolverine Blues"
*plays riffs from To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the truth*
Love ya, Ola! Great video as always!
Oh, and At The Gates used the Metal Zone ?? I shall investigate, for i have a Metal Zone that i dont really use at all xD
It was discussed in the Making of video that is on a DVD on one of the newer reissues of Slaughter of the Soul. About 45 minutes of studio stuff discussing the album recording. Quite fun.
You mean how "At The Gates" used the Metal Zone? Coolio! Now i have a great jumping off point! - Thanks for the tip :)
Yup. Looks like their label has posted it on TH-cam also: /watch?v=Xfv1EcQ532w
The guitar stuff starts at 15:20
Hey, awesome! Thank you SO MUCH for hooking me up!
Marshall Valvestate is an old classic amplifier? :-o Fuck, I'm old.
Hell awesome tones from those Swedish bands, Dismember is one of the most powerful death bands of all time.... SKIN FATHER🤘🤘
Still sounds like Ola Englund!
Muito bom
Também sempre ensinando licks monstro que eu adoro
Parabéns, viva Suécia 🇸🇪 e 🇧🇷
"WOLVERINE" with a W haha. Left hand path and Clandestine alums were Entombed best albums in my opinion \m/
Clandestine was a killer album.... It's what got me into the death genre.
Just got my HM-2 running after like a year of it being dead as hell. Found out that these things are selling for $300 in the US now, but I don't think I'll ever get rid of her. :')
Nobody has anything on the Swedish Death Metal empire!!! LONG LIVE, YOU GUYS!!!!!
Just look at where all the most brutal sounding bands come from, like Aeon, Feared, and The Haunted!!! ALL FROM SWEDEN!!!!
You guys know your stuff, i'll say, Man!!!! \m/
Yeah! Sweden and Norway!
Jag älskar dig lika mycket ändå även ifall du dissar mitt hem
KÄRLEK! Vi får vår shit end of the stick ganska ofta också. Garanterat inte samma nivå som stadsrivalitet i vissa andra länder! :)
Här kommer Pippi Långstrump, tjolahopp tjolahej tjolahoppsan-sa. Här kommer Pippi Långstrump, ja, här kommer faktisk jag
Ola. Talking about Sweden, what dou you think of Swedish guitar amp such as Olsson, Hagstrom, etc. Are they good for Swedish metal?
It's pronounced "Wolverine"
Written in his words, Ithought about Volvurine. But that sound even worse, it is bad slang. Actually you are right.
I thought it was wolverine too like x-men wolverine.
Guolverin
Travis Shaw it is, wolverine from xmen is on entombed' s album cover
Vulva-ream?
BLINDED BY FEAR! 0:19
Yo Ola!! I have the same head Marshall Valvestate vs100. Would you mind making a video of how you’d get a great 90s death metal tone like Chuck Schuldiner from the vs100?
Chuck used a 8100 and a GK lunchbox
The chuck used was voiced different than that valvestate
Errr... in Eastern US, it would be Wool - Ver - Reen, but dialects vary, just do you. Great video, man!
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, if you start the word "wolverine" with a v-sound, you can pronounce it however you like - it's totally metal from there! :D
In American English, W is almost a vowel sound, and very literally like to U's together, and sounds like those little shouts that Tom Warrior peppers classic Celtic Frost songs with: OOH-UH! So woolverine sounds something like ooh-ulver-een....
I prefer "Vool-vair-een Bloose" so much, though, that I resolve to pronounce it this way from now on....

agree, had the best crunch
Because Nicke sings on it ^^
