Title: Anyone in Washington DC got an HRM?

Matt Schofield's Two rock has broken I think, his facebook page is asking for a loan amp for tonight

He won't thank you for an HRM. Anything with a decent clean channel will do.

Actually, if he tries a good, broken-in Bluesmaster 100, he might well like it as much, if not more, than the Two Rock.

In my humble opinion, the Bluesmaster cleans are a benchmark. I totally see Matt digging in that boosted clean channel, & getting mesmerizing tones!

(But you do need the 100 watts version, it's not really a loud amp in the clean channel)

I would have thought so too, but in interviews he says he doesn't like the crystal-clean sound, and likes it a bit more ermm.. unclear
When I bought a CD at his gig, I asked which of his pedals he'd most recommend. I just wanted a nice one to try, but he fairly told me it would not replicate his sound. Anyway, it was a Providence Stampede, and  when I got one, I found that it somehow crisps up a fender super, so maybe he starts dirty, and uses a pedal to get cleaner

Personally I prefer to do it the other way round
I didn't think the £4k two rock I tried was in any way better than the HRM 100, but really - why should it be?

No, the CRS I tried was flat and dry to my ears, and the OD channel was really only suitable for lead work, it didn't sound good for rock rhythm.
