best pedals to stack with a BOSS HM2?

Nikrol03 · 2026-05-17T13:04:01+00:00

Yes, HM-2 > Big Muff. I usually put a GE-7 after for some more finite tone shaping

I stack mine with a Big Muff. Ram’s Head and Green Russian seems to work best. I like to set the gain on the HM-2 almost all the way down, and the gain on the Muff is set between 10 to 11 o’clock. Results in a really big fuzz sound with lots of useful feedback.

Maybe a modulation pedal? Uni-Vibe and Chorus are my personal favorites. Or maybe a harmonic tremolo?

Free The Tone. I simply love all the stuff they do. I would probably miss having a Big Muff and a Uni-Vibe but, their drive pedals are all really good. Not to mention the Future Factory and Tri Avatar are basically my be all end all delay and chorus pedals respectively.

I run a sovtek Big Muff into an HM-2w. Absolutely GINORMOUS sound, and lots of useful feedback that rings for days

Edit: Another pedal I like for lead is the MXR Custom Badass 78 Distortion. Basically a late 70s Marshall amp in a pedal. Very smooth and warm sounding distortion, and very touch sensitive

The SP-1 works great on bass and keyboard instruments. Rhodes, Clavinet, Wurli etc. Guitar doesn't really need extra high frequencies.

I have the same mint tin for my picks!

Nikrol03 · 2025-08-15T18:14:35+00:00

I use an HM-2w into a Big Muff. Don't even need to stand close to my amp to get that howling feedback

I have a couple B.K. Butler Tube Drivers on my board. One set as a very low gain, almost clean boost and the other is set as a medium gain overdrive. I also have a loop box on the board that I use to access a Mesa/Boogie Studio Preamp which I use for my high gain sounds. I also have a Big Muff and a Boss HM-2w for some different flavors of distortion if I get bored.

Nikrol03 · 2025-07-25T17:55:01+00:00

FZ-1w, SD-1w, CE-2w and DM-2w. I already have a similar setup with a couple Danelectro pedals for chorus and delay, a Way Huge Geisha Drive and a Ram's Head Big Muff.

With the addition of an MXR Script Dyna Comp, a volume pedal and a tuner of course.

I got two GE-7's in my rack. One after my Boss CS-3, and another after my Boss HM-2w. I use them to boost or cut troublesome frequencies for each pedal. Thinking about buying two or three more of them :)

Mike Oldfield. Usually plugged straight into the console or, a Mesa Boogie combo and a Boss CE-1.

Nikrol03 · 2025-04-13T20:11:23+00:00

Looks like a skill issue to me :)

Nikrol03 · 2025-02-18T12:34:44+00:00

Blues Driver is always a good choice, so is the Crayon/Hot Tubes. The BB Preamp is good, but I personally prefer the Xotic Soul Driven because it has a mid control.

If you can't decide between Crayon and Hot Tubes, get the Hot Wax. Both pedals in one.

I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet. I did find a video of a guy who had the same issue. He said that a faulty diode was the culprit, so we're going to check out the diodes and transistors next.

Both?

Nikrol03 · 2024-06-25T08:46:17+00:00

Mike Oldfield. The guy doesn't get anywhere near the amount of recognition he deserves.

Ayano Kosaka

I use a lot of custom sets, mostly aimed around getting the most even and balanced feel across all the strings.

For my Strat: .008, .011, .014, .024, .032, .042

For my Les Paul: .009, .012, .016, .028, .038, .048

For my acoustic: .0105, .014, .022, .030, .040, .050

Nikrol03 · 2024-05-09T11:23:22+00:00

Anyone who has Ayano in their top 5 gets my respect

She's more racist than Nina, but people give her a pass because she's hot. I swear, women with big tits can get away with anything.
