I can only imagine that was obnoxiously awesome.

Love dialing in HM-2 as my "clean tone!"

Use its birg mean brother (GL-100 rackmount) that's dialed in to HM-2 on steroids, but I'm stuck on having a parametric I can adjust on the unit so a real HM-2 just sucks by comparison.

I used a HM-2 all the time when it's all I had in distortion I liked for years in the 90s on both bass and guitar, it's just the GL-100 absolutely buries it. Sold my HM-2 within days of getting a 100.

IT won't be a friendly, happy sound though. You can definitely audition for a John Denver cover band with it though, you'll be the hit of the party.

Oh man, my thoughts are the exact opposite. I love throwing cheapies on the same board as a $500 pedal. Big tall proud throbbing middle finger straight up in the air to all the TGP corksniffers. Nice big corny turd in the punchbowl

Yes, agree completely.

Right next to my Toneczar is my old best friend - DOD FX72 Bass flanger. Yay.
