THE SWEDISH CHAINSAW TONE (Vol.666) / Which poweramp for the ultimate GRIND?

[@KohleAudioKult]

Any DIRTY DISTORTION LOVERS here? And what are you guys using?

A behringer hm2 clone aaaand a very special kemper profile which only works until firmware 3.3 the is soooo nasty if you wan to check it out, i use the sound in my project band "mudgod" ... then i have the it fuzz nr8, one of 10 that were made, and so on ... i don't want to bore you to death

[@clemensmoeller4549]

So far I've stuck with the distortion of my Orange Rockerverb, but I bought a Tc electronic eyemaster a while ago. The lack of lowend is a bit confusing but I like it generally. I also plan to buy a ehx big muff deluxe with the mids knob, I imagine a big muff with more mids could sound huge.

[@ThrashingBasskill]

I'm using the auditory heavy pedal plugin BUT my distortion is only at 25% with the HM-2 and on my amp plugins I usually also only dial in 25% gain in the high gain channel. I know, blasphemy but whatever. It still sounds brutal but same as with your grindstein, it is way better to controll, especially with palm mutes. Throw in a boost pedal and it's even tighter.

[@andyje]

I've got an original HM-2, but I've been leaning on the Empress Metal, Check it out, you won't be sorry.

[@Lazyan_dbored]

i'm using zoom g1 four now, but still waiting for my boss fucking METALZONE really excited for it

This pedal is so amazing. I'm absolutely happy I have one! Great video as always, man!

[@audioengineer86]

I have a Behringer HM-300 (HM-2 copy) and I sometimes use it as a boost into my Jet City. It gives a similar effect to the Grindstein, having that balance between tight and old school. That's a killer pedal and I love the idea!

[@wakjob961]

I have to run my HM-2 @ 12vdc and bi-amp it with another standard metal sound... You put all that into one package...brilliant!!!

[@danomnihility2453]

Airis effects Hm2 parallel eq is an amazing pedal as a boost for any amp distortion. The blend knob on it gives you as little or as much chainsaw as you need, blended with your amp distortion you can can come up with a relatively original chainsaw tone that has clarity and note definition. The sound is one thing but usability for different tones is key. Definitely interested in the Grindstein vs hm2 parallel eq.

[@ReverendPONT]

Haven't played in a long time but I really want this pedal. I still have my DOD Thrashmaster from back in the day lol. I was thinking of getting the Left Hand Wrath but you have changed my mind.

[@GIGeorge23]

The fx loop part seems really cool, you could put an amps preamp into the fx loop of the pedal if you went guitar - pedal - pedal loop send - amp input - amp loop send - pedal loop return - pedal output - amp loop return.

[@KohleAudioKult]

That described in the GRINDSTEIN manual exactly like that. I think there's a cool video on YT with someone using it with his Diezel Herbert. I did this one with a plugin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIWyhH2cnJKskKM

[@BBfanfun]

We even have people from Powerwolf and Orden Ogan getting a Grindstein. Not for the band but for their studio. It’s a great studiotool. Especially with the included IRs.

[@georgesaris9968]

Great video, I got on to the Grindstein from YT channels of Dome Nightbearer, Louis Torres, & Silas Fernandes. Its great that someone likes to take the HM-2 sound into new territory by blending it with other high gain distortion sounds for a tighter sounding chugging sound. Congrats on the success of the Grindstein, used by Entombed (AD), Grave, & Sinister? Three 90's DM icons, that's a winner!!! 🤘

[@KohleAudioKult]

Thanks man! And yes it was about time to give the chainsaw an upgrade!

[@aditejada2863]

I haven't tried the Powerstage200 but have used the Powerstage 170 and it is plenty loud. Can keep up with 100watt tube amps (Orange and Mesa that I own) no prob. I would imagine the PS200 would have plenty of power. I do agree about the fan. Thanks for the video!

Bin seit knapp einer Woche im Besitz eines Grindstein. Absolutes Biest, und werde lange damit beschäftig sein Sounds zu finden. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich es jedoch schöner finde ihn durch einen Cleanen Amp (in meinem Fall dem Clean Kanal des Fortin Cali von Neural DSP) zu spielen, als direkt in einen Impuls Response. Schöne Grüße aus Hamburg.

[@KohleAudioKult]

Jeder wie er will! Freut mich, zu hören dass du Spaß hast! Oft überfährt der GS den Preamp zu stark. Cali probier ich mal!

[@MartinvonBargen]

Mine goes into a Laney IRT Studio with the four cable method. Sounds really good with a York Mesa V30 IR. Tried it into my TSL60, but the FX loop is parallel, which makes things sound like the first Carcass LP.

[@KohleAudioKult]

The Laney is a tube amp?

[@MartinvonBargen]

@@KohleAudioKult yeah, a little 1/15W single rack unit, with three 12AX7 preamp valves in it. Its great for silent recording and sounds really good into a 1073style preamp.

[@gorbzzz]

@KohlekellerStudio I have a question. When playing a preamp DI shouldnt there be some notion of power amp sim? In real life power amp provides a lot of low end, or pronounces slightly mids etc. When playng a pre-amp like the Grindstein or like Synergy Syn-1 etc, shouldnt there be a poweramp+attenuator OR poweramp sim before the IRs?

[@Metalbaum]

I boosted a profile of a Marshall 8100 with a Behringer hm300 Sounds sick af. So try the Grindstein with a 8100

[@KohleAudioKult]

Hey! You should always have reverb and delay after any distortion. If you have reverb and delay after the IR it’s gonna sound more Hi-Fi.

I would love to try this with my bass, blended with my clean tone.

you can use the send/return on the Grindstein to replace the bottomshaker channel with whatever you plug in. For example your clean bass tone. Then you can blend it with the chainsaw channel.

I NEED THAT!!! Awesome pedal :) ...

[@KohleAudioKult]

Good idea! I shoukd write Dan a message! Always loved the HM2 touch in EoS.

[@KohleAudioKult]

I forgot to say, the pedal has an efx loop where you replace the bottom shaker channel with any other pedal you want. If you run the send/return clean, the mix knob becomes a blend between whatever tone you have + chainsaw. I haven't used it on bass. Pierre from Benighted just told me he used it on a new song and he loved it.

[@dominikpohli2381]

can the grindstein be used on a clean channel before the amp or through the fx loop

I recommend it through the effect loop. That's how it is designed. But yeah, there are people using it into clean amps and they love it.

Just saw Will Putney's new course preview and he was holding a sock on higher strings while the guitarist was struggling to keep the riff clean.

@@KohleAudioKult yes, correct. I’m curious about how it sounds with a non standard metal amp.
