What's the difffernce between the J.Rockett HRM V2 and the Dude?

[@thebrysmith3]

Thanks for putting this up so quick after the HRM's release. I've got the Dude, so of course I was wondering.

[@alexnismachin]

Your video helped me a lot to decide....HRM.....both are great, but the HRM has more Gain and I like it.

[@tbdog99]

Both sound terrific! At a gig, would anyone in the audience tell a difference? Uh....no.

[@neildenman1776]

Dude has a little more clarity to me , HRM os thicker - both sound great

[@steveyankees1]

Excellent video! The Dude sounded more focus on high midrange and treble. Reminds me of a Marshall tone. The HRM sounded more balanced EQ. Both sound great. Hard for me to decide.

[@doubled5383]

Very well done comparison.

[@davidthomas3725]

Great vid. Thanks. I love my Dude!!!

[@nanofree5950]

Great test. 100% agree with conclusion.Difference is very light. I guess some less treble and pich more of midrange on HRM could make em similar.

[@virtuososo]

Great vid! I have a Dude and love it. The HRM sounds like it's got more muscle, while the Dude sounds a little more sweet. Probably due to the midrange voice like you mentioned. Close enough that I'll stick with the Dude. (I've got other pedals that can do muscle.)

[@doubled5383]

Totally agree with that since I have both pedals. The HRM does muscle extremely well, my god. Into my Bassman style amp with 6L6's. My neighbors hate me.

[@hlyangel1]

Similar but a huge difference in how each pedal handles touch sensitivity. The break up of the RHM is much smoother. It makes the DUDE sound kind of punk rock in comparison

[@aaronkrohn2195]

Thanks for this. Agree completely. Subtle but different. HRM tighter to my ear. Better mids

[@BradRocker]

Really liking the new V2 HRM

[@FaberGT86]

I could be wrong but they look like the same pedal with two different voicings. J Rockett could make a single pedal by adding a switch. Dude mode and HRM mode. As a Gladio SC owner, if I really had to choose another Dumblish pedal, perhaps I would choose the HRM. I would never sell the Gladio anyway.

[@MOAB-UT]

Good point- agree.

[@MaxPower-js1sk]

Great tones. I use the Dude through a Tone King Gremlin. I love the sound of the Dude, but I wish it had more gain. The HRM sounds perfect imo.

[@filtermat]

Very useful video

[@scottmoreau5630]

How is the background noise on the HRM? I really like the Dude but find it a bit noisy.

[@haikoheinz7359]

To me it seemed quite normal but i also didn´t mind the noise on the Dude. But to be honest i never crank the gain fully up in a playing situation

[@DerrickZuber]

I used to own a Dude and I found that there was a lot of white noise or hiss if I put the gain above 10:00 on the gain. Would you say that the HRM V2 had quieter operation?

[@doubled5383]

Agree with that. I had a Dude and sold it. The HRM is quieter and I think is one of the best drive pedals I have every played. I have played Tube Drivers, Zen Drives, Ethos Preamp, Tanabe Zenkudo, etc. This HRM I put along with my Kingtone Duelist and Mythos Mjolnir as best drive pedals I have ever owned.

[@morais99]

best video about

[@wallbreakers5062]

The Dude on high gain is cool but you always want something that can break up low gain sounds (without a mic pre), in my opinion so HRM is the winner. It sounds like playing the dude through an expensive mic pre.

[@thesaj1110]

Man, so which one??

[@noahchasinguitar5831]

They sound the same to me 😬… HRM a little better

[@熊田太郎-y7k]

[@plantagenant]

What's the difference?.....not a lot it would appear.

[@kimmolingonheimo]

had both, too rock for me, much prefer my Mad Professor Simbles!!!

[@michael_caz_nyc]

HRM

[@Sailor_Man_Music]

Not much difference at all.

[@organjoe]

I sold the Dude, not that impressed but I am interested in the new HRM fore sure ... More control over Mids is nice.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I have 10 guitars and literally take everyone and use them all at a gig. It makes a better show than colored lights etc. and set up and tear down is faster .LOL My point is with some authority as I cover High gain HB, PAF. P90, Strat, Tele, Rick, Gretsch and Gold Foil sounds. I can tell you only a Strat can be used to judge a pedal. If the pedal is open with some reasonably transparency the Strat chime and bell-like tone comes thru. if it doesn't come thru pedal has smothered the Strat and you might as well play anything because it won't very much matter. SO ...thanx for your demo with a Strat.

You lost me at „I have 10 guitars and use them all at a gig“
