HM2-Style Distortion with blend

  • hello,

    i'm using a Kemper Stage for about half a year now. I former used Tube-Heads (Diezel, Peavey) with an Hm2 and a blend pedal and later the Klirrton Grindstein.

    I would love to see a Hm2 inspired Distortion with blend option for my profiles.

  • The Kemper Metal DS is a Boss MZ distortion pedal and you use the mix parameter to blend. The Kemper One DS is a Boss MS1 distortion. You could stack both of them using the mix parameter and make that work for you for the time being.


    I would like to see some more Distortion pedals too.

  • after one year of testing I was not able to create an authentic hm2 sound. I experimented with all intern distortions and fuzzes but wasn't happy with the results.

    That is why I repost here and hope someday there will be an hm2 distortion for the kemper.

  • I have a similar issue with the King of Tone. The onboard Kemper Drive gets close.....but I still run the KOT and a Tumnus Deluxe in my effects loop.

  • That would be cool as it is a very popular metal sound these days….again (out of Sweden). I also have tried for years to get an acceptable buzzsaw/chainsaw sound with the Kemper. Still no luck.


    What I’ve tried is:

    - Profiles with HM-2/Eyemaster (bought and free profiles)

    - The original mij HM-2, Eyemaster and Grindstein on tons of profiles. All from no gain to a lot of gain, a combo to head and 4x12 etc.

    - Different guitars; some more high gain than others, dialing the volume knob back a bit etc.

    - My own profiles with the pedals in front. The Kemper (MY Kemper) cannot receive such a distorted signal and stops profiling.

    - Combining the pedals with a Boss SD-1.


    No luck as of yet. I DO get the buzzsaw sound. No doubt about that, but it’s really difficult to achieve an acceptable buzzsaw sound. I know in “real life” with real amps it could be difficult as well, but not this difficult.
