No. I have the setup.
To be more serious and complete : NO, you won't get the creamy usual overdrive of the ODS.
From a REALLY different OD circuit ( not the same trimmers, not same caps and resistors, no snubbers, ... ) and ONLY the
HRM trimmers stage remove (ok, it seems that Nik put a 4m7 resistor and a cap ) , you can't expect this sound !!! AND you get a HUGE bump of volume.
Furthermore depending of the first stage ( I mean "the clean section" ), you have a high relation between these 2 stages to get
this ODS creamy OD ! For example, with my Bluesmaster it's a "no way" : with the HRM, the OD is more "Marshall" Type, without the HRM, the OD stays more aggressive and less creamy than the ODS
( and my PAB that, if I understand well is the "megaPAB" ! )
BTW if someone can explain my a tweak to reduce this PAB ( a resistor change ? this only can modify it ? a small layout and explanation will be welcome
)
Anyway , it's ALWAYS interesting to have it coz, the sound is different anyway : so, 2 options
to keep the forums alive.
