HEIMDALL-3 MKII DISTORTION
HEIMDALL-3 NOT AN HM2 "CLONE"
(A “clone” is an exact copy and the HEIMDALL design is neither exact or a copy)
HEIMDALL-3
A stripped down, compact version of the HEIMDALL-2 without the extra features for those wanting something more straightforward (and yet unique and versatile).
THE HEIMDALL-2 MKII
A distortion, overdrive and powerful EQ with PARALLEL clean blend designed for LOW BARITONE tunings and BASS (although it works perfectly with all guitars, even standard tuned) think of it as the “deluxe” version of the two.
I’ve also designed the HEIMDALL-3 circuit with LOW tunings in mind (although it works perfectly with all guitars, even standard tuned)
While I love brutal caveman death metal, I am personally more inspired by GODFLESH (who used an HM2 without everything dimed) and wanted something that could get me that streetcleaner tone and more clarity, articulation and a ton of tight low end for the CHUGS
The original version of the HEIMDALL seemingly endless hours of hard work where I never fully nailed what I was going for. Luckily my years of experience designing and building has allowed close to perfection of those sounds I was going for.
The gain of the MKII is derived from an OP07 for more versatility.
Capable of being more of a classic overdrive / distortion with the soft clipping and still have the ability to as gnarly / fuzzed-out as you want with the MOSFET hard-clipping.
All while maintaining better articulation and note clarity than ever before.
CONTROLS///////
• B=BASS
• M=HIGH MID
• T=TREBLE
• 🔱=GAIN
• D=DEPTH
• V=VOLUME
• DEPTH - a high pass filter in the gain stage which sets the "tightness" of the drive/distortion. "Tighter" settings also increase gain.
TOGGLE SWITCH
• CLIPPING
Three positions:
-Left-MOSFET "hard clipping" (distortion/fuzz)
-Middle-no clipping (dirty boost/drive)
-Right-LED "soft clipping" (drive/distortion)
TRIM POT:
• PRESENCE - passive low pass filter which rolls off some of the shrill highs while leaving those high mids crisp.
Finally I’ve gone with the “W” taper pots (audio for the first part of the rotation, linear for the middle and reverse audio for the last part of the rotation) so they actually are balanced at noon and cut or boost from there.
All BLACKHAWK pedals and preamps are true bypass and standard “one spot style” 9v, Negative tip, 2.1mm barrel.
