PAINSTAGER is the perfect solution for quick HM-2 style and fuzz tones. It has a bunch of 'go-to' sounds at the click of a button that would normally take a few steps and a while to dial in; so the option to literally insert the plug-in, pick the sounds that works, and mix it in within mere seconds is hard to beat. Not to mention the ability to blend different types of tones together. PAINSTAGER is a no-brainer if you're into these types of tones. Grab it!

“Painstager and Bonestager are absolute BEASTS. As soon as you drop them on a track, everything gets heavier, nastier, and way more unhinged. It’s pure chaos!”

"I always loved to experiment with different combinations of pedals and amps to find new extreme tones for me and the bands I work with - now I can do it in the box with Painstager and Ritual with a couple of mouse clicks. Amazing! "

Great.Without bad high end.
These plugins are unique. Accurate and interesting representations of HM2 and various OD pedals / Bass Amps. These are so good that they became main plugins for guitar and bass duty in my mixes.
HIGHLY recommended!
I don't have much experience with NAM Profiles but I was pleasantly surprised by these ones. I'd definitely recommend them!
This was the first time for me that I used NAM profile tones and I must say I'm very impressed, I highly recommend this pack !
I think this is the first distortion module where I couldn't immediately go full on.Shit rules!
Excellent plug in of the classic HM2
Awesome neural amp profiler, and impulse response loader.
Fantastic plugin. In a world full of guitar plugins, we need more aggressive bass tones!
This pack sounds huge, so many great tones!
The pack is awesome. The tones are very precise and delivers great definition without sacrificing distortion and heaviness. Great work guys!
I was super inspired as soon as I dialed in the Powerball, and the savage and using these tones on a death metal single. Could have used anything but these stuck out the most to me. My absolute top favorite profiles and you can’t go wrong with any of these captures. Also the merciless drive is absolutely amazing! Use it in everything I do now.
Super fun to play—sounds real, runs smooth, and makes dialing in tones easy. Totally worth it.
Really impressed TONEX PROFILES! Easy to use, super fun to play, and they instantly inspire creativity.
This plugin is SICK. I've been searching endlessly for an HM-2 style plugin, even as recently as the day I saw the add for the PAINSTAGER, but it wasn't until that moment that I had to immediately jump on the deal. It has like 19 different models of various HM-2 pedals which include the authentic Boss versions (made in Taiwan, and Indonesia I think?) and then the rest are based on different brand copies. I haven't found a "key" that explains what each setting is specifically modeling but I also haven't looked THAT hard. My favorite settings so far are the "HURT" and "TEAR" settings which really give that chainsaw snarl we all love.
