Boss OD3 PW2 XT2 HM2 HM3 MT2 distortion pedals demo

[johnthegreek178]

I vote for ML-2

[gravel22]

Boss Addict... Replace your OD-3 for a TS9 and get rid of all your disto pedals and buy a triple rectifier and get some real disto with thoses channels !

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@gravel22 Thanks for the advice, I'll take it in serious consideration (once my budget is enough to buy that amp)

[Schpudd]

@nobisoptimismaximis lol don't replace these pedals ever. boss pedals are great fun, no matter what amp you have

[rockandroller007]

@gravel22 Rectifier Addict ..... replace your rectifier amp and get a Marshall or an Orange so you can get distorted sounds ..... unless you prefer "neat distorted sounds"

[musixplore]

@rockandroller007 I'm gravel22 on my other account : listen man I'm reaaaaaaaaaly not a Rectifier Addict, but I think it's the cheapest way for him to get an incredible variety of excellent distortion and also a good clean. Concerning my rig I've got a Mesaboogie .50 Caliber Plus, 24 years old intact. Real pure vintage tone, fu.ck yeah. And I've never been able to love as much a orange amp, only the marshall plexis was near to my Caliber Plus. Regards.

this is the bestt THANKS :~)

[LeeChavezMusic]

Think this guy likes distortion? lol

I would go with the HM-3 hands down.

[reiko5150]

great demo bro! a-b (c-d -d -e -f ...lol) tests are always helpful.

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@DiscoRByrno Thank you. Sorry for not making the noise you expected. Btw I did something like that with my XT-2's, check it out at my video's,,,,

[GuitarGuy467]

love ur pedalboard! 

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@GuitarGuy467 Thanks. It's been a bit of trial and error. I believe this is the fifth version of my homemade board.

[fattirevsbud]

Good one! Change the title to "Testing Boss OD3 PW2 HM2 HM3 MT2 XT2 Distortion Pedals" (maybe even add "Demo" and/or "Review") and you will probably get a million views plus anyone researching those pedals can easily find your video. Thanks for sending this to me...

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@greengtrs Thanx for the advice, I'll give it a try!

[slometal64]

Metal zone is the best sounding imho

[JRBain7]

I'm just in the process of (hopefully) picking up an HM-2, and Images and Words was exactly what I was thinking of when I thought of something that I hoped it might be able to approximate. Thank you sir! Of all of the video reviews I've seen so far, this is the most informative.

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@JRBain7 Thanks a lot. I hope the HM-2 will work for you. Personally I'm not sure that one is the perfect match for the DT sound, you'd perhaps lack a little sustain, but that will also depend on the amp and the guitar... Check it out anyway, it's a great pedal to have!

[JRBain7]

@nobisoptimismaximis Cheers man. I hope so as well. I just got it and had a quick noodle. It's late though, so I couldn't really get a good idea of what it sounds like. Sounds like it could be fun, though. EQ is very touchy, I noticed. To be honest I'm willing not to expect too much of it. I'm broke and don't have anything else to make that kind of noise with (and can boost it with my SD-1, which might help); for 35 delivered I can't complain! :)

[hyperphoenix11]

wat r u using to power ur hm-2 since its ACA and the rest of ur pedals are PSA? ???

[nobisoptimismaximis]

@hyperphoenix11 Interesting question. I have no knowledge of the electronics, but I've discovered that when I plug it in my fuel tank directly, it doesn't work properly. However, if I use a daisy chain on the HM-2 together with a PSA pedal, it works fine.

[PeterRosenqvist]

... {;o) FOUR WHEEL DRIVE !!

[PeterRosenqvist]

You MUST LOVE your XT-2 since you've got 2 of them in this setup. {;o)

I got one too, FAB SOUND !!'

How about some fuzz ?? ... a FZ-2 in mode 2 really kicks ass.

[nobisoptimismaximis]

Actually I have 4 of them! I'm gonna do a test with all four together, that must be fun.

[PeterRosenqvist]

Excellent demo, Thanks !! . {;o)

[LeoBrazil89]

Really nice video!! I loved the XT-2, really powerful distortion, I wish they were in production yet.

[PeterRosenqvist]

@LeoBrazil89 Look for one on ebay. {;o)

[WithFullDistortion]

Metalzone WINS



[ayakush]

great video! really informative! i have hm-2 and really like it!

[methanedirigible]

They pretty much all suck. Particularly MT-2. Sound like a trumpet...

But the HM-2 has a good kind of shitty sound - the classic swedish DM sound! We all know it sucks, but it's classic.

[buddahmaster]

the Xtortion is way to heavy i have this metal and feel its got way to much crunch i wouldnt recommend it its not easy to get lighter Distortions from.

[DaveDoggOwns]

I like all the pedals on the bottom row.

[Hevarimuumi666]

Hey, I was just wondering did you have the same settings on each pedal or was it just randomly set up? I'm thinking about buying the HM-3...

[nobisoptimismaximis]

First of all: all these pedals sound better in real life than in this video!

The HM-3 is perfect for death metal and low tunings. Not so good for soloing though, so you should add another pedal for that.

If you want versatility, have the MT-2. It is set in my video with a slight mid-boost. With the mids cut, it becomes more like Slayer.

[nobisoptimismaximis]

The other pedals (which don't have a mid-control) have the highs and lows slightly boosted and the distortion around 75%. The HM-2 is imo very good for the old Iron Maiden sound. The one I really love is the XT-2, which can sound dirty like Akira Takasaki's sound.

Remember: the MT-2 is still in production, so you'll have another chance of buying that. If you find a HM-3 at a good price, buy it. You'll definitely be the most brutal guitarplayer in the neighborhood!

[Psycracy]

me likes HM - 3 Better ; ]

[KapusLaci]

HM-3 is the best!

[ChrisONGuitar1]

MT2 all the way
