When Boss HM-2 used properly sounds better than your own amplifier ...
Same with Metal Zone tho
@Dustin Carmelo gtfo
This is the best I’ve heard the HM2 sound. Wow.
Right on, thanks!
It’s been like 18 months since my previous comment and I’m still jamming this track. \m/
It's simple man.
You have the best metal tone on the entire TH-cam, not only for this demo of course, but the way you pick, your downstroke, the ability to mix the tracks and the entire production are simply amazing.
Every single video sounds killer.
Thank you!!
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.
Great to see a true old school metal head without the tunnel vision of most HM-2 users who think this pedal only sounds good with all dials maxed and only good for Swedish death metal. The HM-2 existed for years before the Swedish death metal scene, and some of us are old 80's thrashers who go back to those days when the HM-2 was the start for many metal guitarists at a time when everyone played in standard E or E flat tuning and the HM-2 was good for raw old school 80's metal like Hellhammer, Venom, early Slayer, etc. Also great is your tone is EXACTLY the type of tone I aim for with my HM-2, standard tuning or close, & a tighter sounding thrashing / chugging tone with plenty of HM-2 rawness still there. I've not tried the Fortin Grind to boost the HM-2, but gotten similar tones with a Tubescreamer or Maxon OD808X. Your tone and video rule man, a return to the days of the HM-2's beginnings. 🤘
Thanks for using the HM-2 in a sane manner. Sounds killer as always, never understood why people loved making this pedal "sound bad" when it has such a cool tone when used sanely.
SICK!! I use the HM-2 in a similar way. Rarely do I put all the knobs at 10, but that's of course a classic tone. I usually use it as a boost with the gain set low into a dirty amp or pedal (usually Marshall style). It injects the perfect amount of HM-2 buzzsaw goodness. I've also been experimenting recently with boosting the HM-2, similar to this video, except I've been using a Laney TI Boost. Also, the H knob is magic...12:00 to 3:00 is perfect range for Doom Metal tones and can easily replace a doomy fuzz. 3:00 on the H knob is when the Swedish Death tone starts to take over and there are several flavors of chainsaw tone within that quarter turn of the pot.
This channel is incredible btw, been watching it for years. Your demos convinced me to by a Tight Metal Pro and the Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin, two of my most used pieces of gear.
Agree. The H knob is by far the biggest contributor to the chainsaw tone. I'm just a tiny bit above 3:00 in this demo. Like maybe 3:10 haha!
Great to see someone else who uses the good old HM-2 for tones / settings other than the all too common all dials maxed Swedish death tone (classic tone yes, but too many people think that is all the HM-2 is good for) ... also cool to read that you also use the HM-2 as a boost for other amp / pedal distortion, I'm a big fan of that myself. Great comments bro 🤘
This is surreal: I do essentially the same thing, except I use the precision drive instead of the grind. Awesome to see this!
Tried this last night with my Behringer HM 300 instead of the HM-2 and a Joyo Vintage Overdrive instead of the Fortin Grind and it sounded awesome! Thanks for the great video and idea.
What did you plug the HM-2 into? An amp fx return/in front of the preamp/power amp sim?
@@13guitard00d I plugged it directly into my audio interface.
@@13guitard00d Sorry, I just re-read your comment and I think I misunderstoof. I ran it into my audio interface and then just directly into the poweramp sim from Two-Notes Wall of Sound plugin.
I have he same pedals :) need to try it :D
@@williamsimpson5507 I didn't get the notification that you replied, so I apologize for the late response. Thanks!
This ia the best hm2 sound that i heard my ALL life
Thanks man!
Sounds Killer! Never thought that‘s even possible with that simple setup!
Sounds a lot better than the stock put through most amps, nice work, as always. SIde note, any chance you could do some videos on writing riffs and such? Would be an awesome series, truly appreciate your style.
Thanks man! I may do that coming up...
I'm really inspired to build a pedal board consisting only of Boss pedals to run into an effects return, lol. The tones I've been hearing coming from using the Metal Zone and now the Heavy Metal as a preamp sound pretty nice for being an affordable pedal solution. Keep up the sick tones!
You just made this pedal even more legendary. Wow! Cheers from Lubbock, TX!
Cheers! I grew up in Lubbock!
@@killertone No way! That’s awesome!
Very cool video, love the experimentational stuff! More please!
And that was badass right there boys!! Perfect way to show you that you need a Grind. It makes everything better!!
Awesome demo man!!!! 😍😍😍.....first demo I ever liked that involved the hm pedal.....but ya I did that with a modded metal zone, a fat metal, tight metal, an egnator black metal, and a cheap DS1 being boosted by a a SD1 with a six band eq pedal, my two notes cab pedal impulse loader with the kt88 power amp using an ownhammer engl impulse and they all sounded amazing
I think now I should find myself an HM-2. Always killer videos.
Nick Williams good luck finding one, because they’re long discontinued
Trolly Studios I’ve seen them quite frequently on Reverb. Just never really had an interest until now because they were always Dimed and i just don’t like that sound. Never thought to run one this way lol
Wow! I was super skeptical when I saw the title. Then the mix came on and I was shocked. I thought the bass guitar was riding super high to make up for the lack of bump you were probably missing from the pedal, THEN the guitar only mix came in!!! That tone is HUGE, man. Well done. New to the channel, liked and subscribed! Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks, man!!
That sounds SO good dude!!! Niiiice and dat Solar! Offfttttt
Dude! You NEVER dissapoint. Über cool 🤘🏻😉👍🏻
Aww thanks man!
Sick! Sounds great dude!
Thanks, man!!
LOL Jason you just flooded Ola's email with WTF where can I get a single cut Solar!!!!!! Great as always man, good to see you busy. BTW if I want your sig get me to the front of the line! That single cut is beautiful.
You're gonna want it! It's gonna be so sick...
Wow! The Grind really smacks the buzz out of the HM-2
Sounds great! Congratulations on the signature guitar.
The Fortin pedal just set it right. Very cool.
Wou!! Killer tones!! Killer riffing!! Instant subscriber here!! You should do the same with the metal zone!! Hm-2 is rare to find, but everybody have the metalzone!!
Hmmmm maybe I will!
I have one of those that I got in 1991. It's somewhere in my parents house in CA. I'm going to find that thing! Wow that sounds good!
Go get it!
I'm nicking those settings, mate. Great to see you punching it in the cooter with grind.🤘
Yeah man do it!!
You're essentially doing what some good YT folks did with the Metal Zone. And it works! 😁👍🤘
Sick stuff bud. I like to plug in straight and make it as nasty as possible, but the HM2 is quite versatile. You can make it sound fantastic and you exemplified that here perfectly.
PS: That solar also gave me a rager.
Hahaha right on, man.
Awesome sound. I do the same thing with a OD808 as a boost.
Yo Jason, pretty damn impressive. Badass bro.
Thanks, man!
Jason...you are a tonemeister! Uber heavy!
Isn't it killer the sounds you can get from pedals running into cab sims? That's what I call 'silent recording on steroids'.
Definitely cool to see you playing Solar. Can't wait to see your signature model.
You are sick man!😂😂🤘🏻 boost the hm-2 with grind. Crazy, sick but AWESOME!🤘🏻
It's a good kind of sick though!!
killertonetexas VERY GOOD!😁😁👍🏻
So glad I still have my HM-2! Now I just need a Fortin Grind...
I bought one frome a kid in the neighborhood back in 1989. It's never been back in its box since then.
I didn't play it for about 5 years and then put it back on my board using a 12v power supply. I thought I loved my Dracarys, but I hate to say that the HM-2 is badass with the treble down at about 10 o'clock and the bass at 2 o'oclock.
If I had to choose between the Dracarys and HM-2, I could toss the Dracarys over the back fence in a heartbeat.
Always wanted to use this pedal as a preamp and throw an IR on it. Unfortunately the HM-2 prices have skyrocketed again. I remember about 10 years ago prices were decent, then, a few years ago they were in the $140-$180 range. Guess what they are now :/
Excellente barrier of sound!
Nice! The GRIND or 33 makes everything better.
Awesome vid, also wow on that Solar!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't see that much from you but man when you throw something out there it just fucking rocks!
Finaly good yt chanel for metal. I have jcm800 from 1985 but strugling with tone. Using boss os2. Sounds great but cant cant beat the 5150. I will try bit more to look for perfect sound for my band but looks like i will have to go for 5150 soon :/
Sounds sick🤘🤘
This just finally convinced me to get a Grind!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome sound and that Solar is fugging insane!!!!
Thanks for the up! 🔥🤘🎸
Now we need to hear it with the Mooer Radar!
Dude, fucking insane tone and riffage!
Thank you!!
sick tone, but that solar?!?!?! OH MAN KILLER!
Solar signature - check
BOSS HM2 - check
Grind boost - check
Plugged into PC - check
*Pick touches string*
TOTAL FUCKING DESECRATION
I am definitely trying this out!
Awesome video! Killer tone! He is playing in D Standard for anyone who needs to know... \m/
That was KILLER!!!
Thanks!!
Revisiting this awesome vid and wondering if you've tried it into a power amp/fx return and a cab?
Man I totally should. Just gotta get around to it!
Sounds fucking awesome...great job
Sick, sick playing man.
Thanks!!
& SUBSCRIBED! That’s some killer tone right there sir!
I just got this tone with Audio Assault's Bulldozer amp sim, and i've got a preset for their Dominator sim too. Sounds totally killer!
This is almost unbelievable
Beleeee dat do
Killer tone is right. Wow.
The Grind is killer but I am going to have to settle for boosting my Triple Rectifier with my Flux Drive for now. Good tones man!
I've tried that and it works well!
@@killertone I dig it. When I first learned about boosting a Recto and what it does I used a trusty SD-1 and moved over later to the Mesa Flux Drive. I leave both the low and high eq in the notched middle position, run the level right up the middle, and add just enough gain to hear a touch of grit and it seems to do the trick. I like it this way as opposed just diming the level. I play a Gibson V with the EMG 81,85 combo. If I was in the market for a new guitar I would definitely check out Solar. That single cut looks badass.
Wait WTF, Ola never showed a single cut with that paint!?! Are you playing for Solar now?
Yes! Sig guitar coming soon...and it is siiiiiiiiiiiiick
@@killertone thats fucking awesome man, i cant wait to own one someday. Ola is getting some great players behind him, glad you are one of them
@@LegendaryK4 thanks so much
@@killertone Congrats man! Which pickups will be in your sig? The Duncan Solars seem pretty good.
@@LegendaryK4 sponsored by Solar badass! I hope to get one some day ! I love the sound and looks of them. Congrats dude! I LOVE THE SOUND IN THIS VIDEO! You should do a KREATOR cover with this setup!
Wow, it sounds amazing!
Sick as always.
Wow...maybe I don’t hate the HM2.
Fortin Grind/ Airis Savage Boost into a Airis Effects Merciless distortion would be interesting. The Merciless is a modern day clone of the HM-2. Also it seems just going straight into a power amp it’s a lot less compressed and more defined.
THAT SOLAR THO! CLASSIC VIBE!
Wait til you see what we're coming up with...
Congrats, you just made me regret selling my HM-2's.
Great sound
The old school Swedish Pod!
I like that song in the begining of the video? Guitar sound is sick to. Do you remamber what amp, cab, pedal combo did you use to record that tune in the begining?
Sory on my bad English.
It is from this video: th-cam.com/video/wpLQxFrVrWc/w-d-xo.html
Your mixes are fuckin good dude! I'm subscribing
Thanks, man!
Dang. So this is the mt2 predecessor.
Sounds awesome Jason!
Awesome Vid and tones of course 🤘😈🤘
Thanks so much brother!!
Sick tone!!!
I was inspired by this to try boosting my HM-2 with a Monte Allums-modded SD-1 (GT mod) going to the front of my bedroom amp and the tone isn't as beefy or as gainy as yours. I'm guessing the power amp sim is the key for getting the beef and gain out of this setup (in that case, I was thinking of a Mooer Radar as both an amp and a cab sim for recording and playing straight into the PA). Is my assumpion correct?
Oh no you didn't...
How the hell does this sound so good? 😂
I want to play like you when I get big
Hi, can you dial the guitar tone of Dismember - Black Sun the first riff? Is it even possible to achieve that sound?
Cool sound
Hell yes! Sick ! Nice work 🤘the only other single cut solar I have seen other than Ola’s you guys should do a collaboration even a coffee with Ola ? Would love to hear your thoughts man🤘
That would be cool! Maybe we will do that some time...
Sounds super good!
I so regret selling mine like 20 years ago. I sold it because I bought a ART sge effects processor and dumped all my pedals. Dumb move on my part, now I can't find the HM2 at all for a reasonable price. I bought and sold mine for $50 . Man I miss that pedal lol
I love how you stated that it’s a Taiwanese not Japanese version 😄👍🏻
But what tuning was the guitar in? As you know, Swedish Death Metal bands usually tuned to C mostly.
D standard. When I decided not to do a traditional SDM sound I also didn't care exactly what tuning I used.
That Solar single cut is looking really nice! BTW Do you still own the Tom Anderson 7-string?
That SOLAR!!!!
Wasn't Boss supposed to re-issue this as a Waza pedal? Release date pushed back?
Nice! Sounds like you would like Warbringer
Another crushing display of tone!! Fortin Cali video from your tone lab?
Don't have that amp here at my place but I have the original Killer Kali ++
Whaaat?????? That's crazyy and awesome at the same time lol
Always killer man
Holy crap!!! Nothing else to say!
Are all of Boss' metal pedals meant to be used as preamps? Hahah. The HM-2 and MT-2 sound great as preamps. How does the HM-2 sound used like this but sans the Grind?
Watch at 4:21 and you can hear it
Did you use your NEVE DI before the Apollo in this demo?
No. Straight in to the Apollo for this one.
Best tone on TH-cam, hands down...if I could dial my Mark v 35 like that I’d never stop playing.
What are your thoughts on modern multi effect amp modeling pedal boards like Line six?
Thanks a lot! I really have no experience with those things. I've just never had the opportunity to check them out.
No worries. What's your main live (non computer) amp these days? My mark V 35 (boosted with a TS) is the closest I've ever come to the tone I chase in my head.
@@JFRiley Main live amp is my custom Fortin amp, the Evil Pumpkin.
would this work kinda similar with the tc eyemaster? (don't see any reason why it wouldn't but asking did never hurt anyone i guess :) ) this tone is rock solid.
Yup it will totally work with the Eyemaster
that Solar !!! :O
the next time, can you put the hm2 in the effects loop? like the videos of the metal zone. If only curiosity. Tanks!
Maybe I'll do another one...
but...this test is essentially just that. Using the HM2 as a preamp.
I wish the mz2 got a little more love... pretty sure it's the hm2 board with a double and a few other effects..I love mine.
I love it but it has way less gain. Wonder what it's like boosted
