Welp, my collection grew one more, today:
Found this at GC today for a pretty good price. With the Presence knob dimed, it does the buzzsaw pretty well. Obviously derived from the HM-2. It's different, but equally cool in it's own right.
Not to detract from feraledge's NGD, but should we just make this an HM-2 thread?

It wouldn’t let me listen in Dropbox for some reason. But have you tried running it in the loop of the Kemper and setting a STOMP slot for it? I love my various chainsaw pedals run like that because it’s footswitchable, and you can blend it into the profile; instead of an all or none sound, it’s nice to blend in a taste of it while retaining a tight modern distortion overall.Figured it'd be easier to post this here instead of making a separate thread, so here's some clips of my hm300 into a dual recto profile. settings are pretty much variations of the pic below but with varying levels of distortion or my volume knob on the guitar rolled off.

no I haven't tried that yet. I'll have to play around with that. anyways I changed the link, let me know if it works now.
Still no go. It says it can’t be previewed.
dammit. let me try re-uploading/making a new folder or something.
which would you say gives you the classic chainsaw sound, but has the most clarity for power chords? my hm300 is fine for single note stuff but has pretty shit clarity for chords.Because I really needed another one...
Got a Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath. This thing is awesome. Gave it a quick spin, and the presence control really helps dial in that harsh high-end that can be an issue with some amps/cabs. The Modern mode, at least to my ears, is pretty subtle. Not really sure if I'll want to keep it on Vintage or Modern more often. Clipping diode options are nice, but I'm not really digging the no clip mode. I prefer the silicon to the germanium, as well.
Here's a family photo, the Throne Torcher because is the one that sits on my board, but the LHW may take it's place
Watch demos of the Earthbound Audio Throat Locust.
I've been looking into getting one of those or the throne torcher. I've been on a massive hm2 clone demo bender today
yeah I was looking at that one too, but the throne torcher/throat locust seem a bit better suited to the br00tz.
nah, the wurm didn't impress me in any of the demos I've seen of it. The dunwich sounded good, but they're kind of hard to find..
the shootout i saw comparing the wurm, hm2, dunwich, left hand wrath, walrus red and some others made the wurm seem like one of the worst hm2 clones.You know, I'm not convinced the Wurm can't do the classic HM-2/Entombed-core thing -- despite how clueless the YT demo guys have been with it (the only demos I've heard of it are doom and stoner riffs.) I have a hunch you could play Left Hand Path riffs with it and it would smoke. But at almost $300, it's pretty expensive to find out.
I bought my HM-2 for around $75.
