ced83130 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello, I have the Helix Rack just for home recording, I tried to do a preset to have the "Entombed sound" this famous sound of HM-2 in swedish metal songs but I didn'y find how to do, I tried a lot of possibilities with amps and distortions but the sound isn't here :/ Can someone hel me to do that sound please ? thank you.

fiftyshadesofjay Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You'll need to buy a HM-2 unfortunately. It's a unique pedal which I believe no modeller has been able to replicate as far as I know. That being said I'd love it if they did add it to the helix one day.

A unique pedal that no modern modeler makers wish to replicate, you mean? Hahaha. I always thought they sounded like a can of butts, but to each their own. Maybe try a mesa model with the gain cranked, then put a OD boost also with the gain cranked, then an EQ with everything between 200Hz and 900Hz completely cut out?

GDan Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Amplitube has a model. Upvote it on ideascale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecgriffo Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 wasn't it like a metal zone but with the contour sort of part missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmoncebaiz Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Plenty of Swedish metallers opted for the 5150 or even marshal valvestate amps too. Remember that a lot of that scandinavian/Gothenburg sound came from quad tracking guitars. Here are a couple other things to try Reducing the sag on the amp Throw a tubescreamer in front with the gain at 0, tone at 5, and the level at 9-10. (some of the HM-2 users were doing somethign similar with already overdriven hi-gain amps - although I've been told by a buddy that Entombed was putting averything on 100% for the HM2) RE30 dynamic mic model EQ cuts at 250-300 and 650-750 I remember having both the HM2 and the MT2, and I loved them then. I know I wouldn't feel the same now, so Ill just leave it as a nostalgic thing. It's like a right of passage for high gain players. I think the Blue Voodoo might be in that same category.

bassguy129 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 You can't get the exact thing, but you can get fairly close with combining drives + EQ. Matt of Rosetta and Atomium Amps did a great technical writeup of the HM-2, which you can use to decide which models to use. http://atomiumamps.tumblr.com/post/139197356031/boss-hm-2-analysis FWIW, I got fairly close with the Stupor OD followed by the 10 band graphic with 1K almost dimed. Play around and see what works best for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
