Title: (Clip) To HRM or not HRM, that is the question? Post by: marinblues on September 28, 2008, 09:03:46 PM I've been getting a lot of email about how do the 2 amps compare, so I recorded this clip.
Here are the 2 amps played with the same setting on the guitar and the effects. It not easy to set the same tone on both amp, since the HRM has 2 mid boost switches. The non-HRM's "midrange" falls somewhere between these two settings, so its tough to get a the same tone on both. Here's the clip, let me know what you think: ..................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZhobscGmO0 HRM smoother and fatter tone: ...........................http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=qW-dob0AKF8 thanks for watching.

non-HRM wants to sustain more, HRM is a little bit thicker, in the smoothness department, HRM is a little bit in front but non-HRM is right there as well. I'm surprised how close they are sound wise. Marin, THANKS a lot for this. PS: My fiddle will be coming tomorrow. :chairdance: ;) Title: Re: (Clip) To HRM or not HRM, that is the question?

Marin where are your Od trimmers set, and are you running effects? The OD trimmer was set at 13:00 o clock, almost equiavalent to a stock non-HRM. The FB switch was set to 4k7 ohm (i.e. like stock). The is an AxeFx in the loop for reverb and delay. thanks Marin Title: Re: (Clip) To HRM or not HRM, that is the question? Post by: mcinku on September 29, 2008, 08:16:13 AM thats great! Is the one from naples? Marin Yes it is. With all the issues down there, I was a little worried but the guy in CentroChitarre was really cool, so no worries. ;) Title: Re: (Clip) To HRM or not HRM, that is the question?

Post by: JeffreyB on October 05, 2008, 05:24:13 AM Hey Marin...I haven't been around in quite a while....great to see you're still very active around here! Sounding great as always....
OK, so what is going on? What's the 2 amps in the video clips? One looks just like my Overtone Special...and the other one looks similar but it's called something different (the logo/name????) Are there new models? Are there mods? In my opinion, even though they sound very similar, the Non-HRM sounds better to me...a little smoother and more like robben ford tones I'm always chasing. SO, bring me up to speed!!! Cheers ;D -Jeff Title: Re: (Clip) To HRM or not HRM, that is the question?
