A lot of people at the end, couldn't decide what amp sounded best... not even our demo guy. They were all special.
For me, my OTS BM HRM was the winner.  ;D

Sorry man... if we missed one thing, is to record this event properly. As you can see, only this lousy phone vid is available.
Next time we won't forget that detail.

I disagree! I think you have a great voice, especially for blues. 

Can you be specific as to why the OTS BM HRM was the clear winner for you?

Thanks man  ;)

I'm biased obviously... It's my amp, I built it and it's my no1 amp currently.
Tweeds are cool amps but not as versatile as D style amps. I was never a Marshall or Vox guy... I gravitate more to Fender type amps.

this is the second clip of the HRM i have heard this week and i am just
knocked out by the tone. great, great blues tone amp.

this will be my next ceriatone kit.  [already have  a ceriatone 50wt plexi]

MCINKU, what tubes are in it? what speakers are you using in the clip?
cabs? etc..........

2 home build open back cabs - Fender style (same dimensions as DRRI)
in on cab I'm using Celestion Gold - grat speaker for bluesmaster OTS
the other cab is loaded with G12-65
I use JJ tubes in this amp - if JJ tubes are good enough for Robben Ford, who am I to complain  ;D
I used trannies provided by my local amp tech (his design)
the rest is standard Ceriatone kit - I think I changed one baypass cap value
on that clip I used Klein with TC Vintage delay and Boss RV5 in the loop
thats more or less everything
