Ok all:  I thought this would be fun to list your pedal chains for your OTSs and C/D Lators and what type of music you play.  Lets also share settings.  The reason being, is on youtube, everyone is playing slow jazz (which I like) but these amps can also rock!  I have been very surprised with the versatility.  I will go first with my pedal chain so far....please don't be embarrassed.  There will always be someone with bigger and better pedals. 
My set up is simple and I wish I had others but it gets the job done. 
In the front chain:  hardwire multitune -> old crybaby way-> love pedal MagicBoy Vibe -> Ibanez TS808 -> Fulltone OCD -> Hendrix handwired FuzFace.  In the C-Lator:  Boss DD7 -> tc electronics Hall of Fame Reverb

Wish List:  Strymon Blue Sky Reverb, 60s vibe univibe, Wampler Plexi Drive
I play blues, rock, psychedelic rock, latin and hippie jam band stuff like Phish, Dead, Widespread.

I just got my OTS last month, so I'm still messing around with my setup, but right now:

EB Volume Pedal - Teese RMC3 wah - homemade germanium FF (fuller mods) - OTS FM100, 2x12 cab with EVM-12Ls.

In the C-lator:  Chandler Stereo (but in mono, of course!) Echo - Lexicon MPX-200 for 'verb.

I've got Blackstone MOSFET Overdrive that I'd like to put in there somewhere for a little Marshall flavor.  Ideally it should be first. I've also just built a clean boost pedal that may see some use.

My amp is a HRM Bluesmaster 100 running into a Zilla 1x12 semi open back cab with EVM12L and Tayden diffuser.

Guitar > 80's Jen Crybaby > Pitchblack tuner > Rangemaster clone > Zendrive > Modded Dano Chicken Salad (for vibe/phase) > amp

In the loop I have a Klein with a Boss CE2 chorus, an Akai E2 looper/delay & a Tech21 BoostRVB verb.

We play classic rock - Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, AC/DC, Stones, Police, Quo, ZZ, Doors, VH, Skynyrd, Floyd, Tom Petty, Gary Moore, and some 'newer' stuff like Kravitz, Killers, Cult & U2.

Amp does it all with ease :/

These are defo not just jazz blues amps!

EDIT

Welcome to the forum Nik :/

Cheers

Kieran

Thanks Kieran, People definately seem to think these are a one trick pony because of the samey YouTube clips, and that couldnt be further from the truth they are incredibly versatile ! I too played in a covers band doing everything from Metallica to Lizzy to Sabbath etc with it. I bought a Soldano Hot Rod 50 a few months ago on reputation only, and I was so disapointed with it after all the hype, it just sounded dull and lifeless compared to the HRM.

Back to topic, I placed my effects in front of the amp except for the delay in the loop, my old Boss Micro Series Half Rack Delay is the only thing I have tried that doesnt affect the tone in the loop. I currently use Dunlop Cry Baby, Ernie Ball VPJr, TU-2, CE-5, Seymour Duncan Pick up Booster, Maxon OD-808 & Voodoo Lab Micro Vibe, powered by Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+

Yeah the rack delay will probably be ok in the loop because I guess you can set in & out levels on it (or maybe because it runs at line level) - you'll need a Klein or C-Later (better) if you want to run any pedals in there. I tried a pedal delay in loop when I first got the amp and didn't have a buffer - sounded ok at bedroom levels but when I tried at gig volume it just wasn't happening.

Keep those vids coming - I must get someone to do one for our band Smiley

Rock on!

Sweet! Lovely sounds

Sometimes I like the bright switch on with the Strat - depends on the room and how loud I'm 'allowed' to go on the amp..amp doesn't need it on when it's cooking.

Man, that was Rock'n!!

The amp sounds excellent. Really tight band, and the singer/bass player was great.

Ol man, it doesn't get much better then that!!! Cool

That's a proud moment. The harmony parts you and Uli were doing were sounding great.

That guitar of Uli's is so wild.

It's good to see the U.K. still has a solid rock & roll fan base. Lord knows it's not happening here. Too much garbage influencing everything in American music lately. America needs another revolution.

Great playing, guys!!

To answer Indy's question:

In the front of my HRM Bypassed Bluesmaster  i use a BYOC Germanium ESV Fuzz, A Way Huge Swollen Pickle Fuzz, a Boosta Grande, and occasionally a Tube Screamer. If i'm not using Fuzz I usually use the Boosta Grande to push the front end of the amp a bit.
In the Loop I use a Roland RE-20 Space Echo and a Holy Grail Nano Reverb. I will be adding a BYOC Analog Chorus and a BYOC Vibrato to the loop soon. I'm also gonna add another Boosta Grande in the loop to push the output side of the amp as well to get a different sound.

I play Blues, Rock, Jazz, Hippe Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Fuzz Space Rock, Classic Rock, etc.

Hi Gregg, Are you using the effects mentioned in the loop without any kind of buffer (C-later etc) ? If so, no tone degradation ? Cheers. Nik
