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:


..................

HRM smoother and fatter tone:

thanks for watching.

Only listened to it once between football plays but to these aging ears the non-HRM was pleasantly "thicker / creamier" sounding.  Darn nice tone.

Hmmmm,

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.

I think they both sound great. 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

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.

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?Huh?)
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 Grin

I did another clip with the HRM where I smoothed out the tone (perhaps too much!):
