Tightened Swedish CHAINSAW?! | Electric Eye Swedish Steel Pedal

[@silasfernandes7945]

Yeah man, the switch turns ON and OFF the tight knob and the boost simultaneously!!! Lol!!!! Great video thanks so much!!!!

[@belligerentamateur]

Haha, yep. Only took me the whole video to figure that out! LOL

[@zAvAvAz]

Sounds good. 12:25 0:18

[@tbirdpunk]

The finish on that balaguer is gorgeous.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thank you! I agree!

[@jorgea.9988]

Great pedal I would love to se a v2 with a blend control

[@moxythepirate1281]

This tone sounds great! Way to go Kyle! Making this look/sound easy.

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks my man! I had no idea what I was doing but the pedal still sounded cool!

[@paintitmatt]

When it's not dimed, it totally sounds like a "Marshall in a box" - great thrash sounds! I think the sound highlights the intent of BOSS to make an affordable Marshall-sounding distortion. The chainsaw sound was probably an accident. But to be fair, it's an accident that I love!

[@Phoenix2443]

Thanks for throwing that harms way riff in there! I think they’ve done a great job of using an hm2 style pedal into something useable that sounds both heavy and hard (which isn’t easy). Not sure if they used it on post human but they were prior. I know he had a abominable throne torcher and an amp tweaker tight metal. Great video as always, cheers

[@Jeremynew98]

Sounds sick. I was never a fan of the original, but this one can be dialed in nicely. Love the stuff Silas does. Still rockin the mudkiller on my board, its not going anywhere. Nice demo brother 🤘

[@AudreyYun]

the amp sounds MEGA

[@moparbryan]

I’m old enough to have bought an hm2 new when they came out. I bought it for a metal sound and got rid of it pretty quickly. Considered it a mistake then and have never really changed my mind lol. Don’t understand the buzz around this sound. When I’m checking out a pedal or amp this is exactly what I’m hoping not to find!

[@litos_mendes]

if you like swedish death metal its a must have sound ... horses for corses

[@belligerentamateur]

The HM-2 thing is definitely a very specific sound! It's one I don't chase, myself, but certain people are really able to make it sound both unique and musical. Not all, that's for sure. LOL

[@bigmike9527]

I watched Ola run a boss HM-2 through the effects loop and through the clean channel of an amp and it actually sounded really damn good.after all it is designed as a pre amp at least to my understanding.

[@samc5257]

Hello, I would like to recommend to you on this pedal to maybe run through your vtm60. I have the grindstein and the Japanese HM2 and they kill going through the vtm60.

[@thegodslayer8545]

Great review, I can't do hm2 pedals tho

[@electriceyeaudio2100]

Hi Kyle great video, thanks a lot!!!

[@belligerentamateur]

Thanks for letting me check it out!

[@nothingislogical]

Great demo but you forgot to turn the boost switch on when you were trying that out.

[@belligerentamateur]

Yep, I mentioned this at the end when I figured that out

[@BrunoGomes666]

Oh, the sweet sound of an HM-2 completely maxed! 😍Like a chainsaw cutting through flesh and bone! 😈Not for everyone I know, but there's a way to get its grindyness and being very tight. Try a blend of a standard distortion with the HM-2 fully dialed.

[@BrunoGomes666]

I think a nice example of what I mean is early At The Gates. This (amazing) song is a good example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4PLnnZua5qGfas

[@kaoskult666]

Not quite the same as a HM2, kinda similar to Kohle's Grindstein. Id say its more of the Gothenburg sound ( inflames, At the Gates Dark Tranquility etc) rather than the Stockholm (Dismember, Entombed, Entrails)

[@shredward666]

Great demo Kyle. My favorite HM2 pedal is the Dunwich Left Hand Path. I own two of them and have used them on several recordings. In my band I run it straight into the clean channel of my ENGL Powerball, the tone is so brutal and angry it sounds like a sasquatch bangin a grizzly bear 🤘🤘

[@belligerentamateur]

AWesome! Haven't heard of that one, I'll have to check it out some time!

[@shredward666]

@@belligerentamateur Unfortunately the guy that made them no longer makes pedals. If you want to hear how it sounds on an album, check 'Entrenched in the Faults of the Earth ' by my band Barren Altar 🤘 (shameless plug) 😎

[@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002]

At about 7 mins, sounded so Anthrax Madhouse Cool pedal, Reminds of the Band ACXDC So the guitar player with 2 Hm style pedals one was Digitech haha

[@belligerentamateur]

Forgot about that band

[@massttrshrdrharmonicminor2002]

@@belligerentamateur I know your focus is gear, I wouldn't mind hearing about your musical influences,

[@jasonkincaid5248]

That sound is geared more towards single note tremolo picking with the occasional power chords thrown in. Give Bloodbath a sound if you haven’t already. Great shit with that classic Swedish death sound.

[@belligerentamateur]

Nightmares Made Flesh is one of my favorite death metal albums!

[@NStuffGuitars]

Hey I know this might be a video you already made. However is there any way you could shoot out your soldano versus One of your rectifiers? I'd love to hear them the way you record I think they sound similar but I've never gotten to compare both.

[@belligerentamateur]

Haven't done it yet but I plan on it very soon!

[@kinghubie68]

Are u using the pedal thru the front or the effects loop

[@xsonicassassinx]

17:19 words is hard

[@jcollell]

Hey Kyle. Would you say the Middle and Treble interact with each other like a Parametric EQ? Thanks.

[@thedanksavatron7782]

At least this pedal has some sort of EQ control! HM2 is a 400lb wasp holding a chainsaw who downed half a dozen Red bulls!

[@brandonbryson3317]

Yo Kyle, how is the neck profile on those Balaguer?

[@belligerentamateur]

This one has the C profile, and I personally really enjoy it. Nice middle ground between fat and slim. Feels fast but not like a shredder neck. Still enough chunk for chords

[@resington]

This honestly sounds nothing like 'that' HM2 sound man. Great playing as always!

[@belligerentamateur]

I thought it did with everything maxed, using the classic settings you know? But otherwise, I found that there was a lot more in the box than just that sound

[@resington]

@@belligerentamateur I completely missed that part where you dimed it lol! Duuhumm yep, it does that HM2 thing pretty well, don't use it any other way dude!

[@adamage13]

My friend has also made an updated HM2 clone with additional features, called the “Chainsaw”, which you can hear demoed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZezdaCtlLV9Zrc

[@MrPeter924]

Very good music song rock 🤘🔥

[@TheKorgborg]

splawn ? what is a splawn

[@belligerentamateur]

Hot rodded Marshall style amp! Think a JCM 800 with a Rectifier low end and saturation!

[@JonJourdan]

🤘

[@kinghubie68]

🤘🎸

[@matthiaskruger556]

sounds a bit too buzzy for my taste. still a descent tone for e.g. thrash, HC or metalcore sound. Anyway Kyle, rock on with your videos! 😎

[@belligerentamateur]

No doubt, wouldn't be my main tone by any means, but maybe a nice raunchy underlayer tone to get something unique out of a recording!

[@TheToecutter69]
