It has it's charm.
This is a great pedal!
Well, from your review, anyway. I put it a little in the same category as the Rocktron Zombie: Weird High Gain.
Awesome! I'm going to try and find one…
Did a bit of looking and they have a few interesting looking pedals (bad metal anyone?)- I do remember someone doing a copy of the moon metal-i think Ben from Soundfare may have demoed it? Exar were a polish company, this series was produced in the mid 90's. Edit: it is Drunk Beaver doing the "xr series" and there are 3 models. the moon metal being a take on the shred master.
I listened, unsurprised. It sounds like all those amps and pedals where the repertoire is inspired by whatever the kick drum is doing, everyone wears zombie suits and the seven string baritone guitar never goes above the 4th string and the 7th fret and does loads of butterfly picking and blocking.
Which is the absolute home for this pedal but it's not the last word in versatility. Spot-on to get for mosh music and for anything else………… use something else.
I used to have one of those but I didn't like it much. Didn't really sound like an HM-2 to me.
In the end I sold a lot of my HM-2 clones because I have many of the Boss pedals anyway.
When doing frequency response testing of non-linear processors (i.e most analog pedals) I would recommend to use the Hammerstein-Wiener model available in Plugin Doctor. Testing a non-linear processor with linear frequency response test will give you a false result. What you are seeing in SPAN isn't the actual linear frequency response of the pedal, but instead what all harmonics combined add up to. You are not seeing what the EQ/tone knobs are actually doing with a test like that. With the Hammerstein model you will also see the frequency response of each order of harmonics (up to the 7th order harmonics maximum). I unfortunately haven't found a free alternative to Plugin Doctor that can do this, and the free demo/trial version of Plugin Doctor can't measure analog gear, only plugins. Just a heads up! I think it would be very interesting to see a bit more detailed measurements of the pedals 🙂
Has anyone ever tried using HM2 as a boost only level maxed distortion 0 eq flat
I recently purchased a HM-300 because it's way cheaper than an MT-2.
I run it into a ProCo RAT. Crunchy AF.
I might have to look into a HM-02 now, too.
Stacking distortions is a great hobby.
Edit: Damn, I found an HM-03, but the HM-02 is nowhere to be found.
Dude. Love your videos but PLEASE do not start doing those awful clickbait thumbnails
I like the Eyemaster and the Fuzzlord HM-6.
interesting pedal for very gnarly metal sounds. not the original hm-2 sound but cool to me.
That eq curve is wild! from my 5 second google.- "Because of its name, you might guess it should be a Boss HM-2 clone, but the Exar pedal has nothing in common with that circuit ????. The gain stage is a discrete op-amp, almost part-to-part copy of Boss DS-2. Then it has Volume control placed before the EQ. And EQ itself is not based on gyrators but a complex active filter network with a mixer stage at the end. I don't think I've seen exactly the same EQ in any other pedal, so my guess is Exar engineers designed it."
Thanks for the demo! Very interesting pedal and manufacturer. Sounds better than many pedals with twice the knobs
Sounds better then a standard HM2 by miles.
how do you visually look at the eq curve of the pedal? would love to do this with some of my pedals
