That guy fucking LOVES to bang on about shit; I went into Macari's with my gf earlier this year/late last year, and he pretty much launched into his script the second my eyes pointed a Tone Bender.

So now instead of buying a 200-300 dollar used beat up HM-2 I can buy a bright and shiny 200-300 dollar HM-2? Sounds like a bargain to me _________________

I think the other Waza craft dirt pedals (BD-2w, SD-1w, MT-2w) are about 150USD? Would probably expect the HM-2w to be similar. Based on how they've handled these to date, it should also have a new "custom" mode as well as a recreation of the original circuit. _________________

Eh, it seems more flexible than what just death metal has done with it; a lot of that sound is just turning up the level so much that it's kicking the shit out of your amp's preamp. _________________ andrew floss musics

I didn’t have an in-depth conversation about “good” black metal on the zoom call to be told that the HM-2 does anything else except that
To be less of a douche, I’m interested to see what else it can do. Despite the sarcasm I am actually excited that there’s a new HM-2 on the market, even if it doesn’t drop the price of used ones _________________

I've had mine for almost 30 years ( shit, that makes me feel old) and have never played teh metalz. I got one because a lot of the shoegaze bands were using them (especially MBV IIRC).
Wasn't Dave Gilmour a big user of the HM-2 as well? _________________

Why would I want a new mode on an HM-2? It does one thing. It’s only ever done one thing.
Thats nonsense spouted on klon owners forums, the HM-2 is the best distortion pedal Boss has ever made.

Yes to all of this... including owning one so long it makes me feel old. _________________ "Stop fucking about and get an SD-1"
It was my first pedal (HM-2) and I dearly regret selling it.
It didn't sound like Nevermind though, like.
I've built a few (working on one now actually) for customers and they sound great - you add a mid control in there and modify the gain control so it has some range to it and it's an incredibly versatile distortion _________________ MadeByMike.co.uk - Handmade Pedals and Custom Builds Facebook - Twitter
Think I’ve got day off tomorrow. Gonna head Macaris and see if can get him started on Tonebenders just so I can rudely walk off mid sentence. _________________

Oh and the Macari's guy hounded me online to stop using the term tonebender on any pedals I built a few years back, I guess in preparation for this land grab
I challenge you to start using “groinblender” instead. _________________
