When Dumble Meets Marshall - J Rockett HRM V2 Is HERE!

[@robb4340]

These Days It's Easy To Have Multiple Drives On Your Board, Lot Of Good Stuff And That Is Exactly What I Have In Mind for The Next Comming Months.

[@BuddyBlues]

Tell me about it I have a board with 4 different overdrives 😂. Bordering ridiculous territory but hey it’s all fun

That’s the best OD pedal (Dumble style or otherwise), that I’ve heard in a long time! Your playing, as always, was spot on! Nice job!

[@BuddyBlues]

Glad you like it!

[@doubled5383]

I own this, it is among the top 5 drive pedals ever in my opinion. Having played Tube Drivers, Cornish, Ethos, Mythos, Kingtone, Klon, etc. This thing is unreal and what I like about it (unlike an actual Dumble) is that there are not 20 dials and knobs. This dials in very quickly to great tones. Home run pedal.

Love how this plays equally great with both humbuckers and single coils. Beautiful aesthetic of that pedal as well and love the midrange knob. Mids are important folks!!!!

[@BuddyBlues]

Mids is where is live

[@meeno_the_man]

Beautifully played! And your enthusiasm makes it so easy to get lost in your sonic world. PS I’m rocking my red Buddy Blues shirt proudly! Keep up the great work.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks so much my friend!!

[@arthurgonzales4949]

Interesting! I seriously said the other day that I wanted a tone that was a cross between a Marshall and a Dumble! I’m really digging this pedal! Your chops are crazy on point as usual!

[@davidkendall7675]

I run a Carl Martin single channel plexitone into a Cornerstone Gladio single channel,and dig it!!!

Great demo!

I love Buddy’s videos. My wallet - not so much. Just a tone monster. Mr. Smooth.

Haha! Thanks for watching my friend

An outstanding pedal. That's THE tone. You showed it well !!

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you!! I agree, that really is the tone

[@stanesposito2664]

Ok, now play it with a Squire and an Epiphone with a Blues Jr.

Thanks!

[@stanesposito2664]

Sounds really good.

[@timolonnberg3205]

What a creamy violinish tone, I love it, especially your PRS sounded awesome...

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks! I tend to gravitate towards humbuckers anytime there’s a dumble style anything involved

[@timolonnberg3205]

@@BuddyBlues okay Thanks man, that´s nice to know - I play Gladio regularly and sometimes I feel there is something missing. I will observe if humbuckers rings better...but still that creamyness is something that I haven´t got from Gladio..

Great video! And I want one of those pedals now! Sounded so good.

Hmmmm as lovely as this is & I have to say it looks & sounds like a stunning beauty, I wonder how much they would be here in New Zealand where our NZ$ is only worth 62c USA

[@nanofree5950]

Excellent demo thank you. Super playyng too. I was wondering you say your best pedal... Did you ccccompare it vs the Dude and the Mad Professor Simbel ?

[@rcolang1]

great playing, great demo and tone....long time HRM owner and fan....how is it different from version 1?

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you!! This is from their website “For this V2 version we were able to spend about 2 years living with an actual Dumble Amplifier with the HRM EQ mod. This allowed us to really drill down on the subtle nuances to make an even better version than the previous HRM. This pedal, even at lower gain settings, will bloom and feed back, making it feel like the real thing. We found some very nice NOS parts that enhance the authenticity of the V2 version and most importantly it makes it fun to play.” Better than I could have ever explained it

[@PeteDownes]

It's good to see you dropping the guitar volume into the pedal to clean it up. That's so important to me. Have you tried any boosts in front of it at lower gain settings?

[@BuddyBlues]

Oh ya! All the time. I have a blues breaker before it, a boost, and a Dane all before the pedal on my pedal board. It takes them like a champ!

[@PeteDownes]

@@BuddyBlues Thanks, good to know..

[@LawtonChiles]

Dude saw you are in Orlando used to be in bay hill and winter park

[@stringlocker]

Could a prs ever be your number one guitar? Or maybe it already is.

[@BuddyBlues]

Certainly but then I’d miss my Strats haha

[@tomolewine5743]

Hey Buddy, Great demo as always. Quick question. I got mine yesterday and unity volume occurs as soon as you crack the volume pot open just like on the V1 Dude, are you finding the same thing? That's the reason I sold my Dude V1 and got the V2 when it came out. That is a deal breaker for me and I'm hoping they didn't use that design on this. I have a message in to JRAD about it and I'm waiting to hear back. Thanks!!!!

[@dannydaniels3252]

How would you rate the touch-sensitivity on the HRM 2? All of the Dumble pedals are super compressed and less sensitive to playing and attack.

[@TeBo4u]

I am a J Rockett "Dude" fan (have 2) - cool demo! Which delay (and settings) was used for the opening song? Many thanks.

[@BuddyBlues]

Thank you! The delay is from the Universal Audio ox box

[@rockyfolksy8639]

Awesome demo Buddy. Can you compare it to the J.Rockett The Dude or the Vertex Effects HRM Ultraphonix HRM? Just incase if you have any. That should be interesting to hear, and also i wanna hear your opinion about Dumble pedals. Would be nice to see a shootout of your D style pedal collection. Thanks

[@funkyfurballs1078]

I like the sound of this HRM more than the Dude which sounds too dry and over saturated and has less flexibility than the Ethos Clean II and Kingsley Juggler (but those are obviously more expensive and larger pedals)... I love most anything Dumble but haven't tried the Vertex Effects pedals.

[@shaneduffy4209]

Great playing Buddy, how does it compare with the Ultraphonix MkII as I own that already? Worth purchasing this or is it very close as they are both similar Dumble style pedals?

[@sheldonkorpett1708]

Great overview.

[@TravisCrown-g4c]

the look on the face... it is going on the board !! Lol I just bought... my wife says thanks again... Buddy... Lol

[@BuddyBlues]

Hi Buddy, We're you using the silktone amp? The gear you listed here in the Fender supersonic ? Love your tone so I'd like to know which amp you actually used. Thanks

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks! Yes that’s the silktone amp. The KZbin description is usually copy and pasted I’ll fix it

[@gabrielfiedler5550]

Thanks for your reply Buddy! Is your Silktone completely stock or have you modded it in any way? Stock speaker?

[@markhopkinsmusic]

Nice, my man!

[@BuddyBlues]

Thanks dude!

[@nanofree01]

Hi. Thank you for sharing the test and your excellent playing. There is a "But"... I have this pedal, bought new. 1) very good overdrive, but nothing to see with an ODS HRM. In fact I get almost exactly the same sound with my Simble, my TS9 and very close with my Golden Cello. We are far from the particular grain that emerges from your test, especially around your 11:30 min. 2) and here, and this is the worst, the HRM is extremely noisy. All the settings at noon are just impossible at the room/studio level. Forget it on stage.... I specify that I use the same power supply and the same jack cable as for the other pedals. Strat, Les Paul and PRS are completely silent. The only way to make the pedal noiseless is to set the Vol and gain to 9 o'clock. At this very low setting there is obviously no longer any point in playing with a pedal. Moreover, adjusting the volume to 12:00 does not give an acceptable balance between clean playing and pedal playing. The pedal becomes way too loud. Acceptable setting for the lead is volume at 9, already loud. So, do you have a hidden box in your chain?

[@BuddyBlues]

I do not have a “hidden” anything in my chain. I appreciate the kind words in the beginning, but do not appreciate the idea that there may be something I’m doing behind the scenes to sell you something, because I get nothing if you buy this or not. That being said, you bought an overdrive pedal and wanted it to be noiseless, that’s just not gonna happen anywhere. You’re not playing through my amp, my pick, my cable, my guitar, my house, my house electricity etc. a lot of variables come into play, but I do my best to demonstrate what this pedal sounds like, and I haven’t once heard a complaint about this pedal being noisy or …”too loud”. I play mine all at noon, it’s on my pedal board as we speak, and sounds great. No post processing is done on any of my videos because I don’t know how to do it, and nothing is “hidden” anywhere.

[@jonfai]

By the way. Dumble made several different circuits, including the ODS, the ultraphonics, the SSS, and the HRM, to name a few (and variations of each circuit for individual artists). The HRM really did stand for “hot rubber monkey”. Not hot rodded Marshall as you mention in this video. Just his strange sense of humor I suppose.

[@MegaMarPaul]

You demo the pedal as a Dumble owner would play.

[@BuddyBlues]

Explain to us what this comment means. Regale us.

[@MegaMarPaul]

@@BuddyBlues Well, it was intended as a compliment. Some of the people demoing this pedal are playing some rather heavy, high gain thrashy motifs. While I like those styles, they are not conducive to the nuances and harmonic structure of a Dumble amplifier. I was friends with Alexander. I met him through Greg Bayles and used to jam with him at Greg's place, Make'n Music L.A. I don't believe he would appreciate the pedal, but he would appreciate your presentation, as I did.

Hey Buddy. I liked shared and subscribed. Now guess whether I like the channel or not.

[@BuddyBlues]

[@pearlyjb]

HRM v2 or El Hombre 🤔😒 the EH seems a bit too agressive even with bite setting down... not so much gain on tap. This one seems to be more flexible (EQ and gain) with a compression that seems to help playing... Argh...

[@jimsalman7257]

I’ve never heard of Mr. Dumble modifying Marshall amps. Where did you hear or read this? Also, HRM (whatever those initials stand for) refers to a variation of the ODS circuit where a 2nd tone stack gets added at the end of the overdrive circuit gain stages. Also, that extra tone stack is implemented as 3 internal trim pots, so it’s a set and forget affair.
