Y'all, I rather see the ADA MP-1 or the Hellwin soon!! LOL
I've never used one so I looked them up and they got some pretty bad reviews.
For many players, the HM-2 was the first pedal,they had as young guitarists, so they occupy a nostalgic sweet spot. The name screams "badass," and they've grown to love that wall-of-sandpaper sound.
Temptation is like the aroma of cookies baking in the oven, but you know you shouldn't eat because of your 5-day crash diet.
No, the HM-2 is the "Sound of Swedish Death Metal". A bunch of bands in this obscure subgenre latched onto this piece of gear and it became an archetypal piece for those artists. Anyone asking for it is almost certainly into this stuff for better or worse.For many players, the HM-2 was the first pedal,they had as young guitarists, so they occupy a nostalgic sweet spot.

TBH, I hear nothing special there.
A bunch of the stuff folks ask for to me is weird...like the Dark Glass stuff. The one thing I'm missing in pedal Dept is a Maxon SD9.
It's both.
Cliff) and you were wondering what order to put them in....
Japanese is not less than 100, and delivery. But that's not the point, I want it to be in Axe !!! Ha!
Probably Cliff faced an insurmountable problem in modeling this pedal.
Should I be embarrassed. I was afraid, when I first started learning about Uli Roth, that the Sails of Charon sound I was getting out of my Tom Scholz Rockman would not be as creamy smooth with the HM-2...(Even though the rockman sounded like it was behind a wall. Not 'of sound'. Just behind a wall.For many players, the HM-2 was the first pedal,they had as young guitarists, so they occupy a nostalgic sweet spot.

I use the trim and drive controls when that happens. Also, I like to have overhead to turn up the amp block Level (e.g. in case Firmwares do that), so I try very hard to leave room for that with every other part of the chain. In my case, its keeping from clipping at the sound card that's the bottleneck; I used to have my Axe FX output level set pretty high, and my monitors set low. Now its the reverse. I use the mixer to keep the noise floor at acceptable levels, and I use the amp block Level control to match up my presets, and if I want a clean sound I can always find more room to lower the drive. Ultimately I may raise trim and lower drive, but as long as the noise floor is not very perceivable my monitors left alone at a fairly high volume, and the mixer gets adjusted. I guess its not necessarily a more sensible way to do things, but it beats the repeated struggles with distorting components and being unable to clean up clean amps and still hear them.
