[@RevvAmps]

Thanks bro! We need to get Glenn to blackmail you more often.

[@aaa-rj8eu]

lol

[@benburnett8109]

Mr. Revv Amps, Glenn likes products based solely on how he is paid. As a company you lose credibility when you associate with him. Thanks for your time, Ben

[@onionheadguy7094]

I live the idea of a good preamp with an insane distortion circuit that you can blend to taste. It's unique.

[@Turbo-D]

uhh that sounds exciting IMO, great idea using the soldano power section! thanks again, this is one of the very few serious gear channels that is left on YT! 🎸🎸

[@hebguy420]

So its basically revv version of the grindstein?

[@denverrandy7143]

Still have to say the Amptweaker tight metal version 1 is still my favorite pedal

[@RevvAmps]

That's such a good pedal, agreed.

[@jacksmith4460]

always wanted one of those

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

It didn't sound like what you expected on the chainsaw side because the trick is to dime all the knobs. That's how they get the chainsaw tone. So you would like the hm2 if you dialed it in responsibly lol

[@skylarfawn5170]

As someone who uses their MIJ HM-2 as a sort of "filter" for lack of a better word, with Level at about 1 o'clock, L dimed, H near-dimed (about between 4-to-5 o'clock) and Distortion at 0, I find that most of the chainsaw sound resides in the H mix knob, although the distortion certainly contributes to it. I also only discovered this due to stumbling on some obscure, poorly designed web page I found on Google lol I personally prefer blending that chainsaw-y tone with a separate distortion though, to me it sounds a little better that way.

[@sb632]

Sounds really good. Love seeing the Valentine back out. Still my favorite in your glorious collection

[@markchatman9583]

HA! I thought you were calling Glenn the northern mauler, and you were reviewing him.

[@TheCyberMantis]

So many options now. Friedman BE-OD Deluxe. Revv G3 and G4. New Soldano SLO pedal. Ola CHUG. KSR Ceres. Northern Mauler. MXR 5150. Many different flavors, all of them really good. But they all basically do the same thing.

[@rjamador9934]

I know this is old but that’s the beauty of it, they’re all the “same” but very different. When it comes to us metal guitarists, we all want high gain distortion but a unique tone. I also use distortions as boosts/drives/fuzzes/ pre-amps.

[@denverrandy7143]

Sounds awesome!!!

[@cdawg-switchhitter2473]

Was hoping to see you use it like an actually HM2 dime everything and blend it. Sounds much better that way

[@BB-ft6nd]

I totally bought it. I replaced a DS-1 and HM-2 with this pedal. Man who'd ever think that Revv would have made my favourite pedal...

[@Ghaos]

Hey Fluff can you talk about the cables you used to connect the Mauler? They look like problem solvers...

[@CapnDiddles]

I 2nd this comment.

[@Kasey_PVKD]

If anyone here wants that full out of control chainsaw sound, plug this into the input and dial the bite and growl and G’ivr” to max! And go to the 3rd channel, add just a bit of gain and chain saw away when you activate it! Just a lil tip, the Manuel also has that as well.

[@ScottStieg]

Cool idea, hooray for blends sure, but the HM-2 side doesn't represent enough of Boss' tone. They should drop that aspect of the sales pitch, it's flimsy. Just my 2 cents.

[@Myoldnameiscringy]

Going old skool with the doo. 😊 I approve (not that you needed it). You’ll have to tell us what is going on with your filming location. New house?

[@insightibanez]

Good mourning Mauler

[@markpell8979]

Since there's no button between 'like' and 'dislike' I'll just type in 'meh.' But the tone of the first chords you struck, with all the knobs at noon, did sound pretty good. If somebody sent me one for free I'd probably use it. Not saying that's what happened here, just saying. My conspiracy theory is that most of the newer pedals are secretly being made by Gibson as another way to steal our money.

[@lexingtRick]

It sounds like a lost transistor clipping later, like dirt in the signal. Revv do that that type of setting on most. But this pedal is good sounding.

[@darcy_blackthorn]

What happens when it's put on the amp settings for the actual amplifier and the pedal at the same time?

[@emartinezr]

Whoa this sounds reaaaaally good. Extremely usable tones right off the bat. I think it can get more obnoxious if you dime the chainsaw side and add some giv'er.

[@Bbh4535]

Glenn’s Great Northern Beaver Mauler!!

[@mike_rogs]

This custom valentine is one of my favorite guitars of yours. It look so 👍🏻

[@acslater6830]

New Studio??

[@onionheadguy7094]

It must be those old photos of fluff in Beardface I've been hearing about.

[@temporyfreedom]

You got a new place 🏠?

[@alexcrouse]

This is awesome.

[@RevvAmps]

Thanks Alex!

[@nathanmalone4302]

Is this suppose to model the hm2 tone? because it sounds nothing like it. Still sounds great though

[@emartinezr]

That's because he didn't dime all the chainsaw knobs.....

[@arsinix13]

What cabels are thows

[@JohnnyMegabyteCanada]

FLUFF. What kind of setup would be needed to have a Pre-Amp pedal going Direct for recording? Such as, pedal into DI into Interface, then into "clean" Amp Sim in DAW? Any feedback or suggestions, would be appreciated

[@paniccleo]

Just preamp pedal into interface with a cab sim/IR running in the DAW.

[@JimboLodisC]

Ola's main video on his new CHUG pedal highlights a number of ways to use distortion/preamp pedals, one of them is via pedal into interface and then just an IR, no other amp sim needed

[@jessemuscato]

So the first sound I do believe you played it was just a revv G3 pedal

[@treewisemenllc7281]

So, it's a copy of the grindstien essentially?

[@gresnid3453]

@5:40 That --in no way, shape, or form-- is the "Swedish chainsaw" sound. It sounds just like the other channel. IMHO.

[@GnMReviews]

This kinda made me sad. I'm a huge HM2 fan and the way the chainsaw circuit was dialed seemed so plain, it didn't really have that growl I would've expected. Looks like the HM2W is staying on the pedal board.

[@RevvAmps]

Check out the launch vid on our channel if you feel like it! We did a metal track with the chainsaw side set way more aggressive. Of course nothing wrong with keeping the waza on your board - that one rules!

[@chrisgettman]

Did I miss something? How come you’re not in your normal studio room?

[@AudioJanitor]

+1

[@Seven7Pain1]

How did he get you he didn't even try it out on his channel he hired a guitarist to do the review Glenn we want you to play your solar v with the pedal quit getting everyone else to review your pedal want to hear you do it Love your channel fluff 🤙🤘🏼

[@jgmopar]

Sounds really good. Dam it now I have to spend money

[@JaFoste_Studio]

Ok, Ola released a pedal, Glen released a pedal...Fluff, when you releasing a pedal?

[@JimboLodisC]

Mark series preamp, perhaps?

[@davessparetime83]

You need to dial in each side then blend it in

[@aaa-rj8eu]

I feel the same as you about the chainsaw stuff. Just not my thing. But this sounds wicked

[@Mikesosa75]

I like more your demostration than Glenn´s! He´s so Metal chainsaw kind of distortion that I really don´t like his mixes but this pedal has potential!!

[@sgholt]

Did he yell at you until you gave in.....? LOL

[@JimboLodisC]

so the CHUG came out, bought it immediately, then out of nowhere the SLO pedal dropped and now this... C'MON GUYS DANGIT

[@AudioJanitor]

A Metal Zone is all anyone needs.

[@JimboLodisC]

@@AudioJanitor and I have two of them haha

[@eriklamelakillingspree7690]

But you didn’t “chainsaw” the HM-2 side dude.

[@estebanpontoriero4299]

Chainsaw is missing 😢 I guess you can get instant chainsaw with some does it doom or fuzzlord effects pedals, or even using audiority’s plugin of the HM2. This pedal doesn’t make the trick 😢

[@RevvAmps]

Fluff kinda dialed it in to his taste which is a different! Check our launch video - if you keep the bite and growl high you get the chainsaw for sure :)

[@robinpare5155]

I couln't hear the swedish chainsaw sound at all, it just sounded like a very good Revv on one side and a Rat or some other cheap distortion on the other side.

[@SinjaEs]

sound much better to my ears than the soldano that is hyped just for commercials apparently, what is your opinion on soldano vs mauler? comparison would be nice.. how does it sound if you using it as a pedal in front of the amp? also high prices, if you buy those two pedals you spend nearly 500 bucks.. lets see what the EU price will be..thanks fluff 🖤

[@dildojizzbaggins6969]

Solid English there. How about you don't use a language you don't have a grasp on? Wild concept, I know... It's the fucking world-language, not Chinese. So this is a special and extra-embarrassing kind of cringe.

[@SinjaEs]

@@dildojizzbaggins6969 wow dude, thats amazing!! i' m so sorry for that but i can teach you a bit german instead of wasting time with hate, off topic and bad attitude for no reason in just one comment 👍👍💪

[@salvadormeridian]

Love watching these vids while eating some Magnum ice cream 🤘🤘

[@Ryan_Messenger]

Lemme see them pics

[@pprovost]

Give'r!

[@billyturk8117]

It's literally the grindstein...

[@RPMusicStudios]

Naughty photos! Haahahahahaa

[@bubbahotep5439]

Fricker sux, but Revv builds good stuff

[@eddykidd]

Pretty cool pretty expensive

[@marvinmartin3438]

Dude, I need this box! How many watts is it? Is it gig friendly? Does it have an active knob? Can it get me the famous EVH "Brown sound?' Asking for a friend

[@theedgeinshow]

I love Glenn.....but he's so loud that I put his videos on mute and he still woke up my neighbor's kid

[@Jstall7543]

Sounds Ok….

[@FreddyFuFu]

The pedal to dialin the rat tone in your head.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Meh. Not a bad pedal, but it doesn't really chainsaw.

[@youztuber5000]

Glenn got his viewers to bully you and your beard in his last live stream... Are you just gonna take that?

[@Boots_McScoots]

I can't believe that guy would be involved with bullying!

[@Ottophil]

I can’t stand frikker. Always yelling about stuff for no reason. Fake outrage is played out

[@MickH60]

I see a sense of humour missing ! It's called, "taking the piss" out of your mate, you wouldn't last a day in Australia...

[@youztuber5000]

@@MickH60 I said that in jest, I didn't realize there was so much Fricker hate 🤣

[@leegollin4417]

Mr F I was in some decent Metal bands in the 80s-90s. Guys like Glenn are why I have all but quit the genre. You are doing the same type of content only so much better and without the toxic-hate-spew he is constantly leaking. That said, this pedal blows.

[@leegollin4417]

Turn up the shit pedal to make the mud pedal less shit.

[@AudioJanitor]

Glenn seems cool, but too much unnecessary swearing. Drop it years ago. Ola pretty much rules.

[@riffraff6585]

No matter how many times I hear this pedal, I just don't like it. Good review.

[@chrishepburn1503]

The artwork on this pedal looks like it should be on a UFC or WWE Shirt. Just terrible.

[@nomad100hd]

That tone is not for me.

[@markushalbwirth7711]

Grindstein copy….

[@denverrandy7143]

I think it sounds better.But,will only know until I buy one.👍

[@denverrandy7143]

@Dizzy Duke totally agree

[@kamenrider6669]

better than grindstein？？？

[@grzegorzporowinski]

For my taste it is boring and not inspiring sound :(

[@benburnett8109]

As bad as this pedal sounds, you should've let Glenn ( I hate drum samples unless the producer of a megadeth album says that drum samples were a big part of the drum tone" Fricker release the photos. The photos would sound better than this. Heck, banging pots and pans against a concrete wall sounds better than this. I wish youtube would quit recommending YOU when I am searching for Ola and Jens. This is 3 minutes of my life I can't get back.

[@TheOriginalEUrban]

FLUFFS FLAVOR SAVOR lmao

[@tedfeast]

Your opinion lostball credibility when you dissed the hm2 tone. You wish your band was as cool as at the gates, entombed, dismember.
