Am I CRAZY?! Or is this pedal just that CRAZY awesome? Let me know below ! Get the Lichtlaerm Medusa HERE: Direct from Lichtlaerm - lichtlaermaudio.com/shop/medusa USA Dealer - eastsidemusicsupply.com/products/lichtlaerm-audio-medusa

Pedal is deliciously brutal on its own but run the gehenna through the loop......absolute BEAST!

That’s one of the more interesting and best sounding hm2 based pedals I like how the fuzz lays in the back and isn’t so in your face it seems like it it helps the notes retain their tone and definition better but it’s still got the nastiness just instead of being up front it’s like it lays below pretty cool, I really dig the modern version for all the same reasons Kyle stated it’s an HM2 for people who like other peoples hm2 tones but can’t use the OG themselves for reasons stated no note definition farty palm mutes The “not useable sound” would be cool for an intro riff or interlude before I big ole fat breakdown

Combining one of these with a Precision Drive would probably be AMAZEBALLZ

I love what you got from this pedal. Sounds great. This is something I would use.

I love the channel! I like the addition of the 2 amps when testing a pedal. Would love to see you play stereo with 2 amps too see which would pair out of your whole collection

I have this pedal and love it! I use the Gehenna in the loop to tighten it even more and to blend two totally different gain tones together. It's awesome and brutal!

When you start digging into the HM2 you see all the places where tiny adjustments could have made this thing usable from the beginning. I just made one for a buddy and added a bunch of switches that de-suck the circuit. There’s a good pedal buried under Boss’ “let’s push 4 different clipping circuits in a row as hard as we can” ethos.

Got me one. Gonna run my metal zone through that loop.

Great video as always! More dogs in the videos, please! 😍

LLA is a great company and Daniel is such a helpful dude to deal with. Just ordered a Key and Gate, already have a King in Yellow and Aesahaettr🤘🏼

Yes! Nice presentation Kyle! Mine is coming friday together with an aquaria which I intend to blend with it. Should be awesome!

Kyle!!!!! That pedal is right up my alley!!! Thank you for demoing it!! I know not everyone love that Swedish Buzzsaw guitar tone, but for me, it is exactly what Im after for an awesome guitar tone!!!. I have the Eye Master ( that I run into an MT-2 waza, then into an Orange Micro Terror, then to my Marshall 4x12) and its monstrous!!...BUT, I feel like this would work even better for my need than my current setup.

Digging the cutaway shots man, keep it up! Give the episodes good flow.

Sick Ola riff. Sick Ola guitar. Ola the Swede.

I have a LHP and a Dunwich Amplification hm2 clone and I’m adding this and the Gehenna to board. Can’t wait to run them all together into my Sovtek!

For the hm-2 sound, I’ve taken a liking to the GCI Jugendstil. It just works perfectly for all of my amps

DOOOOOOOOOOG!!!

Who’s a good boyyyuh!?!?? Sorry, I get like that when I see a cool dog. Check out the EHX Tri parallel mixer. You can mix three overdrives/fuzzes/distortion/eq parallel into one signal to get the perfect balance of whatever ingredients you want to craft your perfect tone!

16:35 is btw exactly how I love it: gain just turned up enough to add some hair, level up and the rest to taste and adjusted to tuning, amp and pickups :)

Thanks for the review! Sounds ok, not my thing, I keep it basic and simple with my EVH 50s, Hexdrive kills on the blue channel.

While IR’s have certainly come a long way,,, there is nothing quite the same as placing your favorite pedals in front of a killer tube amp!

The pedal sounds great, but I couldn't stop staring at that Balaguer to be completely honest. I've only recently started to warm up to the Jaguar shape, but that Balaguer is fcking sick! That color scheme works really well with that body style, they knocked it outta the park with this one for sure. The pickguard and forearm cut are nice accents as well, really brings it all together in terms of the overall look.

The last HM 2 type pedal I had was the Empress Heavy. This sounds brutal!

That Buried Alive breakdown at the end made me mosh my computer.

As someone who loves hm2 but doesnt love chainsaw zealots this pedal is my top 3. Great company with awesome ideas,ill definately be buying more.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you should check out the KMA Machines Wurm 2. Also another German version of the HM-2! Awesome vid!

I really want to hear that classic 20's preamp into some bigger power amps with 6l6 or El34s. I love how that amp takes overdrives and feels under the hand but don't like how the power amp responds as much

Sounds killer guitar looks great too

i didn't know you had a puppy! gorgeous dog

Damn, I love it.

Sounds like The Haunted riff from Ola in the beginning. Cool tone, Rad pedal!

Wiked !!!!

Bro got an OS update. Love the new riffs.

now I have to sell my hm2 to buy the Medusa. That blend feature is gold!

That sounds a bit better

The HM2 market is so weird. I had an original. I had the Behringer clone, that's just a bit tweaked, but does the 3 things I expect: CHAINSAW, Godflesh, & Big Muff (search "HM2 Gilmour", he had a "jam" board that was all Boss - HM2 was his "Muff"). Just have to give the Godflesh setting a tad more highs than having the B&T knobs pointing at each other. Can I even get the Godflesh sound without emailing the builder for settings? I own amps with less knobs.

Floppy farty poopy doodoo is now in my vocabulary

Sounds better then the hm2

Somewhat opposite in the price range but I got a TC electronic eyemaster from Amazon warehouse for £18 which gets me in the ballpark. Brutal AF riffs in this demo though!

Had a guy argue that the OG MIJ HM-2's are better than the Waza because they cost more money.

@ilikepotatoes1345

If you want tighter palm mutes just use it as a boost into a heavily distorted sound on your amp, keep distortion between 7 and 8 o'clock and the rest of the knobs maxed and you get the same sound texture but a much tighter feel.

It absolutely is

You could act like you're in the 80s and buy what was available then. You will have way last available to you to go through. Then you will have less to complain about 😊

I have the Hm-2w but I still may have to get this. I’m with you on the HM-2 where I don’t actually love playing it, and it doesn’t feel great under my fingers, but damn if I don’t just love that sound. Sometimes you just have to throw up a middle finger at your tone snobbery tendencies and just go full Entombed on your sound. This pedal seems like you can probably blend that in with your base sounds better than the HM-2w.

Who plays an HM-2 with a gate? That's half the fun.

Kyle. Weird question. What kind of dog is that? I have a dog that is the twin of yours.

I never understood ''Balls to the wall.'' 😄wtf

I like the Boss HM2 shitbox & after extensively checking out other types of HM2 styled shitboxes; I’ve reluctantly concluded that I have no further need for other HM2 shitboxes. Boss HM2 is all the shitbox I need. But you do you.
