If there were a Venn Diagram showing the overlap between ‘90s British shoegaze and ‘90s Swedish death metal, Jugendstil would feel right at home in the middle. The circuit starts with a simple, high-gain silicon fuzz section which cleans up extremely well and can even be used as a clean boost at low settings. That’s all well and good, but Jugendstil’s secret weapon is a fully maxed out HM-2 style EQ, labelled “loud” and wired as a parallel blend — use the loud control to blend in as much or as little of the HM-2 sound as you like! The sweep control (labelled "focus" on these blemished units) controls the center frequency of the mid boost. Set it around 1 o'clock for the classic HM-2 sound.
Video was recording using a GCI Craftsman prototype guitar with Lollar DB humbucker into a 50W Marshall JMP with a 1960BHW cab loaded with Celestion Lead 80's. The cab was mic'ed with a Crimson Audio modded Shure SM57 into a Chandler LTD-1 mic pre and recorded in Pro Tools through Burl Mothership AD converters.
