🎬 ON TODAY'S MANUAL: The Boss HM-2 has long been associated with the metal sceene, but it actually was widely used for fuzzy distorted tones in Alternative Rock and Shogeaze before metal players. Today, we're diving into one of my favourite topics regarding this pedal - Bilinda Butcher and the Boss Heavy Metal in the MVB sound! Bilinda is on the list of indie rock players that use this pedal, and she's probably the most notable user out of all. She crafted her signature guitar tone in MBV with the mighty HM-2 back in the late 80's and early 90's. I'm (like every shoegazer might be) a bit obcessed with her guitar tones. In a very creative way, she managed to stand out in MBV band mix by blending her heavy strummed chords with Shields reverb craziness we all love. However, little is known about Bilinda's gear/sound preferences - it's amazing how it's still a secret almost 30 years after MBV's shoegaze powerhouse 'Loveless' was released. Here's the problem: She joined MBV in the late 80's, and 'Loveless' was released in 1991 - Boss moved production from 🇯🇵 to 🇹🇼 in 1989 - so we can only speculate about what model does Bilinda uses. Did she pick the HM-2 some time before joining MBV, therefore it's a Japanese model? Or did she pick it up around the time she joined the band, so she got a Taiwanese HM-2? Does it even matter for shoegaze, like some metal 'purists' say it does for metal? We'll try to find out today (;

🎸 So who are you? You weirdo hipster 🎸 I'm Victor Budin (https://www.instagram.com/vibudin_/?hl=pt-br - Instagram), a musician from Brazil. The most notable of my music projects is my power trio band Supernova Andromeda (https://www.instagram.com/a_supernovaa/?hl=pt-br - Instagram) - my shoegaze/indie/alt rock band where I explore shimmery and fuzzy sounds from the 90's to produce my own music. I have two other projects, Magna Carta cover band, witch covers rock from all ages in an alternative rock way; and Casus Belli, witch hangs around Stoner/Doom metal. If you'd like to check out one of the bands and follow them on social media, it'll help me out a lot! I'm a big fan of the underground scene from Brazil and the world, and I want to show a bit of this universe here to you - Besides, I love talking about these genres that are so important to me since I grew up listening to them: Indie, shoegaze, Alt rock, Doom and Stoner metal. I love exploring all kinds of gear available to create alternative music. Thanks for watching! 👻
