For modern metal tone it is perfect. For crazy experiments with fuzz and noise analog equipment is still better

[@Mr.Goldbar]

I really liked that last capture! Sounds like a super modern take on the HM2, basically HM2 tone in the midrange with modern tghtness in the lows and highs. Love it! My guess is that the Nano Cortex somehow detects the source as broken and applies some sort of a "fix" in the capture

[@hellmikeguitar]

I clicked because I was baited by the HM2 in the thumbnail. And it being illegal now. Wasn't dissapointed.

[@AndGuitar]

Good lord! All of the captured amps and HM2 sounded phenomenal in that NDSP Nano Cortex. Unbelievable to have that QC capture technology in a pedal form. Well done!

[@TomKrouze]

Funny to see how the old HM-2 "resists" to the modelers. What a legendary pedal ! Now the Nanocortex is officialy complete.

[@rumppan]

nice to see the hardness to catch just the right midtone of the hm2. but, it does the mid/hit tone just a little bit better. love it!

[@Karmaneoeric]

I was having a good day, law abiding, filled with hope for the future, thinking I could rest my sore little bones watching and Ola video, ...but you had to bring out the HM-2... Now I am howling, doing burnouts, being chased by villagers with forks and cops. I wont sleep tonight, I'll get into trouble and what not. So yeah, it kinda chugs alright.

[@MartyMcDonnald]

We are living in times of great magic!!! This thing is amazing!

[@Mario-Chunks]

The capture sounds waaaaaaaaaaaaay better. WOW

[@MrDmadness]

I agree, it seem to have a slightly wider bandwidth and it's got more clarity and note separation.

[@CBoxStudios]

The quest to faithfully capture the HM2 continues. But the capture sounded sweet.

[@JerryWhite-ee5hy]

Bro,that was bad ass!!!

[@bluesful]

With the HM2 into the preamp.......... I preferred the capture over the source.

[@stofosaurus]

It's just because some people can't make the hm-2 sound good to save their lives.

[@SamFisher338]

It seems to sound different when the cortex was set to source than when ola was playing before capturing for some reason, though.

[@CBoxStudios]

@@SamFisher338 The audio in that whole section is scuffed because of the noise.

[@FuzzImp]

Oh wow. The capture sounded cool to me. I’d use that all day (on the HM2)

[@xvii8693]

I just brought this recently. I gotta say, by far the best modeler ive ever used!

[@nikolayew]

Can someone make a capture of the 9:25 tone?

[@BillHeIsRisen]

The capture cleans up the HM2, especially when joined with the dual Recitifier.

[@byteresistor]

Yeah, you should use the HM2 for cleans.

[@ZeeEm1991Gr]

I think on the HM2 -> Rectifier example, once you do the capture, the unit somehow messes with the source sound. Compare 6:38 (the actual source) to 7:12 (the "source" per the app) and then to 7:18 (the capture). That being said, the capture is still cleaner and tighter than the actual rig, so yes, the HM2 indeed seams to be hard to capture.

[@mynameisjonas80]

I came here to say this. Something happened to the "source" sound after the capture.

[@GearStuffandThings]

[@0oChugChug0o]

Good morning Ola ! Love you man .

[@Dwightstrokem]

I actually think I like the capture better. I didn’t expect that to be the case.

[@Oilid]

The captures are quiet impressively accurate! 🤯

[@matdube3577]

Perfectly legal to still have fun with the HM2 😊

[@ParanormalArson]

You see the same thing with a lot of fuzz pedals, and the HM-2 really rides the line between distortion and a really gnarly fuzz. This seemed to do a good enough job capturing it, though! The difference is there, but pretty minimal and not likely to be noticed in a live or mix setting.

[@Cripp3R]

Guantanamo Next ! ! !

[@zachyz3573]

sounds amazing

[@alfredodurango8868]

The cloned sound of the HM2 sounds better than the HM2 itself, both solo and over distortion

[@tntheaven4257]

4:25 Nice Machine Head riff there

[@randalljones4370]

The 364 hz warble-noise may be raising hell with the capture process. Especially if it is appearing on power or ground (you mentioned a noisy PSU) . I'd troubleshoot the noise source out of the rig, then try capturing it again. Noise on ground can really mess with A/D front ends.

[@sinistrousdiabolus]

Its probably his phone. That sounds like usb/ data emf noise.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Still got my original HM2 which came with a brass plaque stating it was the 3 millionth unit made. Pedal still going strong, plaque is on my key fob.

I hate myself for thinking the captures sound better. DAMN YOU OLA!

[@gabor_ujvarosi]

it sure does for the HM-2!

[@tencentpistol]

great video!!

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

The demonstration from 3:09 onward of the A/B really shows the crux of modeling: It sounds good, but not the same. If "sounds good" is the goal, models rule. If "sounds the same as the analog gear" is your goal, it's still not there. Completely different transient response, resonance, higher order information, just everything. The capture sounds thin and tinny while the source sounds full with way more clarity of note.

Hm2 is not my favourite tone but that recto/duality is awesome!

[@Jorge-Grullon]

The technology and materials used in the DAE duality dx and the Nanocortex are close from each other, the boss HM-2 is from the 80's and 90's. That can affect the way those divices sync and work together since compatibility is a very important aspect in the digital era (specially if you're trying to simulate/capture pedals and amps)...

[@RareYogurtMale]

Looking good Ola 🤘

[@msi1985]

Nice I'm interested to try this rectifier preamp into my 5150 power amp section.

[@katch33]

I feel like something went wrong. When you first played through the HM2 and the dual rec it sounded a lot clearer, then after you created the capture the sound was very different for the source. Compare the video from 6:52 to 7:19 Something definitely went wrong there. They sound totally different to each other.

[@krustdogg131]

What I would have loved to see: You´ve captured the preamp and you´ve captured the pedal. Now it would have been interesting to hear the pedal behind the preamp (original) vs the pedal capture behind the preamp capture (signal chain within the nano). Does that make sense?

[@wakjob961]

Like the capture more better. Tight. That's why I rum mine at 12vdc.

[@ExpatZ266]

Nice! For a second there I thought you were going to be testing shorted guitar cables.

[@PatternRecognitionMusic]

The last capture was different, but good. You can still hear the character of the source, there's a definite similarity discernible. I actually liked the capture better than the source. For the other two captures, they sounded really close to my ear.

[@kaoskult666]

Try turning down the volume and distortion on the hm2 to about a 3 or 4 when running into a distorted amp. It wont be such a mess.

[@darthmetallus1977]

I think the Boss metal zone one was my first ever distortion pedal

[@patrickshannon4516]

Still want to try the Boss katana amps I've tried Peavy vypyer,line 6, Black Star, they all three kick ass also love TC electronic products so far as far as what you get for the money Black Star they are my favorite. But all those amps that I mentioned their kick ass and so does orange, you can get something really bad ass in the two hundred dollar range.

[@JavierPwns]

You should have boosted the hm2 into the synergy with a tubescreamer to tighten to tone

[@rocketPower047]

Is this much better than a Mooer Preamp Live?

[@kevztunz]

Is it possible the variations is gain might be the result of normalization?

[@AnaerobicFermentation]

lmfao the capture made the last one sound better

[@barrygomez5968]

The chainsaw capture retained the chug

The one question I have, and it might be a dumb one. How would the capture of the HM2 then react once you start trying to dial it and change some of its parameters? Would it react similarly to the actual HM2, or would it only be all dials to the max? I'm trying to understand how this works. To get a full spectrum of say an HM2, would you need to do multiple captures of the same pedal?

[@ronaldbolanos6879]

Do you think I can set a capture of my krank Connecting through the loop? And also make a set up with the buttons to have 2 channels with the same distortion from the krank, channel 1 for rythm and channel 2 with clean boost/higher volume and delay for leads? Does this has storage modulation effects to mix with the captures?? If all responses are yes, i'm running right now for one of those

[@unholyaudiochannel]

ok this is cool
