INTERNAL CONTROLS

EQ Centre Frequencies

*Depending on EQ STYLE, each band has an internal trim-pot to change/ shift the semi-parametric center frequency and fine-tune your tone even further, if the need arises and to suit your own sound goals.
Note: Default factory values are when the pot is centered
INPUT FILTER

Activates a high-cut at the Distortion input to reduce the risk of oscillation when cranking the Gain/Master and all the EQs to the max – set to taste.

Some quick usage examples:
The original HM-2 had 2-Bands of EQ marked H (High) & L (Low) but in reality, H was actually a High Mid control. We doubled the EQ to 4-bands with the ability to adjust the center frequencies internally, greatly increasing the versatility of the circuit. So, to get that classic Chainsaw tone, set the Drive and Level to the max, select HM-2 EQ Style (if you’ve adjusted the internal trim pots make sure they are centered), and only max out the LOW and H-MID controls, else you are boosting additional frequencies not available on the original pedal. Still, having all of that additional tone-shaping power can really help you mold your own brutal tone, so experiment until you find the killer sound that works for you!
In addition to HM mode, we developed our own EQ stack which is a little more tonally balanced, less peaky, and a bit wider in response. If balanced and less peaky sounds too boring for you, select BOTH to fatten and double up the tone stacking, letting you ramp up the LOWS and the H- MIDS and rip that Swedish forest completely to shreds! However, with all of this extra tone shaping, the pedal can sometimes begin to feedback at extreme settings. So, if this proves too much and to help tame that high-frequency content, we added an internal control to smooth things out. Flipping the dip switch to activate the input filter, will help to tame the high frequencies when absolutely everything is maxed out.
