what kind of hardcore? like a lot of guys are saying, I don't think you'd need anything else, if you even needed that :idk:

HM2 on it's on is more than enough.

Dr. Scientist Elements and Smallsound/Bigsound Mini come to mind. Maybe even a Rat Tail set to lower gain.

EQD Talons would be excellent for this approach as well.

so you guys think a tube screamer into the hm-2 would be best?

what about an earthquacker crimson drive?

Hmm... What about a DOD Grunge?
That thing is so horrid. In a good/crap way. But mostly good.

This to me is HM-2

I'd plug it into your amp personally

Greenfuz · Post by **Greenfuz** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 5:24 pm

my amp is a heathkit ta-16 and gets a little dirty when cranked, but it's still solid state and needs a bit more of a boost

that dismember vid is kinda what I want? I'm not gonna drop tune or anything, but I like the chug a chug

those vids were kind of bad at conveying what I want, but I'm horrible at conveying what I want. I've got a sound in my head and I think the hm-2 is an integral part

It's a sign. Cats know toan.

Maybe pick up a Marshall in a box pedal, get a bit of gain on that then hit it with the HM-2. I've read so much shit about what they used to get that tone - going into a peavey rage is one, going into a jcm800 is another. Boss DS-1 is another! All I know is that I did not see any peavey rages when I saw them a few years ago.

tubescreamer with gain low and level high tightens up the low end if you want a more chuggah chugga sound.
hm2 with gain lo into a lightly crunchy base tone (either pedal or amp) is good too...remember when stacking, a little bit of gain into a little bit of gain = shitloads.

ive tried hm2 into FZ-2. its an absolute mess.

on another note...im picking up a peavy studio pro 112...which will be my dedicated hm2 setup. was looking hard for a bandit, but aint paying $$$$ for an old peavey lol

I just use my HM-2 as a boost infront of my amp's gain. :idk:

Yep, it really is perfect. Raw, melodic, brutal, fun. And Dan Seagrave art!
