      Hey mate, this video was insanely well done and in-depth, fun all around. I'll probably won't get one when it comes out (I was not one of the ppl asking for it's return) but it's still a blast having Boss look to what their users want and delivering it with such style, and you were a good pick to showcase that. I hope to see more in the future (specially for that FZ-2w if you know what I mean)

    @dagus834 3 года назад +1

    Impressive video. A couple comments:
    1.) There is no possibility of negative feedback through the Dist control, since the pot's wiper is grounded. It's an easy oversight to make, and I _think_ you caught it and described the function of the pot properly.
    2.) The effect of the series diodes lessens as you turn the 'Dist' up. The germanium diodes will always have a forward voltage of 0.3V and cut 0.3Vpp out of your signal, so the higher amplitude signal you push through them the less 'gating' and crossover distortion. You can hear in your video that on lower distortion settings, the pedal sounds a little extra fizzy and behaves a little bit like a fuzz. I think it's safe to say this largely contributes to why most people think it only sounds good with the controls cranked.

  • @markhammer643
    @markhammer643 3 года назад +2

    I have an original HM-2 that my metal-playing nephew (now a Wall St. finance guy) bequeathed me. Absolutely correct that the pair of series germanium diodes serve a partial purpose as crude noise gate (and I've used diode pairs in the same fashion to silence carrier whine in ring modulators), and that the crossover distortion they produce is essential to the sound. My own experience with crossover distortion in c9rcuits I've built is that it *LOVES* bridge pickups. Note as well that crossover distortion only clips the "sides" of the waveform, not the top and bottom, such that dynamics are unaffected. Not that there are a lot of dynamics remaining in a pedal that clips so much, but I guess every little bit helps. Nice review, Colin. Thorough and well-explained.
    I'll just add that a lot of the pedals DOD produced during the '90s also included multiple drive/clipping stages and a variety of resonant boosts at different locations in the spectrum, to justify calling them different models.

    Boss has really put their best onto Waza stuff. The R&D they did on each pedal in the line is nothing short of unprecedented in guitar world, and is second to none. The way they completely re-built iconic pedals from the ground up, while retaining their sounds is unbelievable. Only they could look at something like DS-1 and say "listen, let's not put an OP amp into it. Let's re-create entire thing with discreet circuitry". What other company could even afford to invest into this kind of development. Boss keeps reminding everybody why they are truly The Boss.

      20 years ago I was very satisfied with my metal zone. Then my taste shifted towards a russian black big muff. Then life happened, and in 2020 I didn’t understand, why my favourite setting from back then didn’t sound good. No definition, no brutality, just sizzle and mud.

    Bro, your vocals are sick and honestly your lead playing has improved much over the course of your RUclips growth. You’ve built one of the most in depth, informative and enjoyable guitar channels. And I’m not even really into metal but it doesn’t matter, your content rules regardless!

    I actually think it sounds heavier with the highs around noon. I think excessive treble actually offsets and overwhelms the bass, and creates the illusion that the bass isn't there anymore.

    That sounds rad. So nice to learn All The Things when a new video comes out (one can't (and probably shouldn't) know all of the literal things, but shh).

    Apparently the old ad campaigns for the original HM-2 were that it was supposed to be an emulation of the Marshall stacks you'd see most metal bands using at the time. We see how that turned out

    Looking at your scope read-outs, my suspicions match yours. They moved those Gyrator EQ points, and decreased the Q on the two mids/hi gyrators. That might also account for some of the noise drop as those two, being that close together and almost being at a Q of 3.6 and 3.8, that's getting to close to self-oscillation (The Q of 4 is the no-no zone). So backing off of them a scootch, and pulling them apart, that helped some of the noise floor. Not a full fix, but definitely helped.

    Not a ton of people try it, but it also makes a pretty sweet bass fuzz with L knob up. It makes the gain knob more usable too.
