Call me stupid but I think an HM-2 is the ideal HM-2

I’ve seen EHX advertise the pedal as an HM-2 inspired pedal, yet I have not heard it demoed like in the beginning of this video. When you played it right out of the box, with all the knobs maxed out, that just convinces me to add this to my HM-2 buzzsaw collection, better than those EHX ads.

That pedal tone gave me such Entombed vibes with everything set to max. Killer sound + noise gate. Nice!

Exactly. This thing just *screams* Wolverine Blues, and I guess depending on the exact settings might also work for the guitar sounds on Clandestine and Left Hand Path respectively.

Hey ola! Not only did you do a great pedal demo, but this video also provides great examples here of your tremolo picking technique, something I'm trying to figure out. Thanks for the unintentional guitar lesson man!

Bernth has a very comprehensive guide to tremolo picking

Nice review, I like the versatility of this pedal going from smooth distortion to straight buzzsaw.

To me personally the best HM-2 inspired pedal is Guardian of the Wurm by KMA Audio Machines and I would love to see you play it. You 're by far one of the best musicians in terms of making something sound the best it can get. Love your videos!

Just the demo I was waiting for. All high gain pedals must pass through the gates of Ola.

It sounds like an "idealized" version of the Swedish Chainsaw tone. Really big and thick, but tight and chuggy, too. You could easily play fast riffs without the notes getting lost in the mush of sound.

Nice video looks like fun and the noise gate is a good feature.

Love your demos Ola 🤘

A powered HM-2, et the end. Nice playing of "Stairway to Hell" @5:34, Ola! 😎

really melts my ears

I'd still go for a Northern Mauler over this. This is like an HM-2 with a little extra, but Northern Mauler has a wider range of useful sounds. Though the gate on the Hell Melter is a nice extra.

i loved this sound. absolutely something i would like to try.

Try the hm300 with cheap noise gate. Sounds really good.

GOD DAAAAMN this sounds awesome

Неплохо звучит, спасибо за видео) Sounds good, thanks for video)

You left out the dry lvl knob. how does it work with other distortions? i want to be able to get an hm-2 sound blended with my normal distorted sound.

This pedal is gnarly 🤘🎸🤘

This is what I call the GRIND. Could use this for some more experimental sounds in composing music, maybe even a mad Mick Gordon sound. Sounds sweet!

Helpful, thanks

I really like your video, thank you so much

Dude i need one of these so bad, my uncle got it like as soon as it came out, i heard it and it sounds amazing

Awesome pedal man

I just recently learned of this pedal. It's great to see a fellow metalhead demo it.

that was awesome!! loved stairway, that was badass actually!!

Hey Ola! I would love to see a video on how to record and mix the HM2 sound (regardless of what pedal is being used) since it is a very extreme and overbearing sound. How do you get the rest of the instruments to cut through the mix while still retaining the nasty trebly low end sound of the “HM2”?

Im unsure of the purchase of this pedal for me personally, but i am certain of that chug sweater! Got mine on sunday after Swola lol and a shirt! Much respect Ola! Have a great day to all

Ola, you should try this out on bass too and see how the blend knob sounds. 🤘🤘

@marvinroggon3168

Agree! If something has a blend knob, it's basically a guitar AND a bass pedal.

Looks cool, sounds like an hm2 clone should sound. So I guess I'll be getting this one too. Great video thank you for sharing.

@@Jona_The_Than_D $176 doesn't seem like a lot for a pedal.. Looking on Sweetwater, most pedals seem to be around that price or higher

Ok so which is heavier sounding the CHUG or the HELLMELTER? I'm looking for a pedal that is heavy as hell for my Solars while playing through my Rockerverb MK3 50 or my Marshall DSL 100hr

Someones got to do a compilation video of the faces Ola makes during these demos😂...

That pedal looks and sounds amazing Ola I need something like that 👍🆒🤘😈

Please review the joyo rigel preamp pedal or the joyo dark flame distortion pedal.

Couple of brown notes there, noice. If I didn't already have an HM2w I'd consider it

The basses are so good sounding and the mids are singing on a smartphone from 2009 . I buy it directly !!!!

So EHX wanted to get in on the boutique HM-2 - hey I can't blame them, sounds good!

Maybe I missed something, but what about the dry signal knob?

I wish someone would try this thing through a crunch or distortion channel like how an hm-2 pedal is supposed to be used.

Did Ola missed the blend knob?

"There's a lady who's sure that all that glitters is gold, and she's buying the stairway to Chug'n . . ."

Ola's verdict: big fumbs up

I can confirm: this pedal does indeed melt hell. 🤘💥

Apologies in advance if this turns out a bit lengthy #olapleaserespong Is it possible to dial this thing into something comparable to the Slayer Reign in Blood tone? If so, that would solidify it as my next guitar related purchase. (It having a built in noise gate is a huge bonus and if I can use it to dial in to my favorite metal tone, or something close then that would an absolute win) The amp I'm using is a Marshall DSL20HR, if that'll help with the dialing process. And I'm probably gonna get a MX angled 2x12 to replace the old MG 4x12 I'm currently running it through. Lord knows how important speakers are to your tone. Thanks in advance 😁

Ola! my wife loved this demo..

Oh yes. Praise the saw!

That sounds like the world's first indiscernable noise pedal

Been eyeballing a bunch of boutique HM2s to replace my eyemaster, but this may be able to take it's spot for a slightly lower cost. I want to hear this into a big muff

after your review imma start saving to get this pupper, cause you always remember that if you can make your pedal sound like shit you can also dial in the best tone ever with it

I wish you had fiddled with the blend knob. That’s what makes it intriguing to me.

always dig an hm2 tone

Hell yeah 😎

sick!! sounds kinda like my EHX metal muff pedal. i also downloaded your pantera presets on my katana it sounds awesome now! 🤘😎🤘

@@dennismcdonald2607 Not really. Also, they made a more compact Metal Muff with a gate but without the boost. But it doesn't sound as buzzsaw-ish as this one.

I never knew Ola playing stairway with an HM2 clone could start the week off.

Would have been interesting to hear this running into a revv g3 with the wet dry blend sweeped. I think a eye master and a gate would have done the job… maybe… Either way, thanks for sharing :)

I would have liked to hear it into the effects return of a tube amp. Straight into an interface, I think it sounds like crispy crap!

Why do they even put knobs on these things? HM-2 clone with no knobs probably exists right? I do really like that there is a gate on this. Saves needing a gate pedal and 3 extra cables.

I already have a couple OG HM-2s from before their price jump, but if I get a clone it’s either going to be this or the KMA Guardian of the Wurm

Use a 7+ string with this pedal and you really don't need a bass. Those lows are crazy!

Hey had the balls to play stairway. I like this guy 👏

Fun video, cool pedal! KMA Guardian of the Worm for a few dollars more though...

The Solar Chug pedal is all you need.

It reminds me of the tone you hear in Plagues, by Converge

Now THAT'S what this pedal was made for.. stairway to heaven

A pedal that actually sounds like its name, fuck yes!

🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥

Instantly got some At the Gates vibes, damn

If you can get your hands on a Ibanez Tk999HT defiantly check it out, its a very underrated pedal from back in the day

Good Morning Ola .

Well damn🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

But do it Stairway... the important questions. I was dying. 😂

You know it's going to be fun when ola brings out a 7 string.

A lot of people following and commenting on a Swedish death metal guitarist's videos have definitely never listened to Swedish death metal, and boy does it show

Hi Ola, I think you should test the Joyo Dark Flame pedal, I'm pretty sure it will chug, I know you already review the joyo bantamp zombie. The dark flame is a terrible and very affordable pedal to any beginner with a short budget who wants to play Metal (the joyo UZI is not bad too but I prefer the dark flame which is known as a "kind of" REVV G3 and this arround 50 dollars/euros or whatever)

how about the KRAKEN Pedal you just received?

i would buy it, to play only here to stay with it :D

Please try AMT R2, AMT P2 and the E2. Saludos desde Argentina

what , may i ask is TOAN ?

Entombed in a pedal. For sure thought there was going to be wolverine blues played

Stairway to heaven sounds great :)

Gate! But now you can't get the intro to Wolverine Blue lol...

Question.. Why no interview or coffee with Ola with Robert Sennebäck of Dismember?

The horse from The Ren & Stimpy Show is a good friend of mine and he says "No Sir, he doesn't like it."

Some Entombed please!!!

I have only had the hm 2W I like this one better than the boss

Sounds like a good pedal for black metal.
