I have the MT-2 and tried the HM-2 at the store when I purchased the MT-2. Key word "purchased". MT-2 does some incredible things when you get down to it. One of my favorite pedals and the guitards "hated it" Seriously, I doubt you need both unless you're playing in a insanely overdriven utlra-metal band.

Not exactly.


The MT-2 has semi-parametric mids. and, IMO, sounds kinda "fake" at some settings. Also isn't very nice to the low end at times.

The HM-2 doesn't have parametric mids, it only has 2 tone controls, although the mids are adjusted along with the highs.

For example, Godflesh's bassists used an HM-2. Thats the kind of sound it makes. You can cop HM-2 sounds on the metal zone, but it ain't the same.

I think you should get an HM-2. they're not too much.

I don't think you need to. But need is the key word here. This is the effects forum, after all...


also, if you want to buy one, i might possibly but not really be telling you that i might possibly have one that i might possibly be wanting to part with, so you might possibly want to send me a PM.
