Title: HRM or Bluesmaster ??? Which and why ?
Post by: clivekay on April 19, 2010, 02:14:35 PM
Ok I've had a straight ODS and that was 50 W .. Not bad but want something more. I've looked at the HRM which in theory gives the 90's D style sound, but then I am confused. hence I am here. I thought the HRM had a tone stack after the OD section , which was internal presets for the Bass Mid and Treble.  ( As per Fuchs) I looked at the circuit and didn't see any ....I saw the OD internal control which they all have but no tone stack....Then I looked at what is called the HRM Bluesmaster and the same question arrives.. Where is the adjustments or don't they exist. Looking at the schematics for each one just says Bluesmaster and not HRM Bluesmaster , so is that the same thing ??? CONFUSED !!!

circled in red. the 250K resistors with the 3 poles are the internal trim pots.

i believe they are in teh same spot on teh same board for the bluesmaster.

Great Thanks for that .. Wasn't too clear from the diagram what they were..  :D. Now to listen to both ...It would be nice if reverb could be added .......

The interesting thing I noticed is how different the 100 Watt version sounds to the 50.. The 100 has so much more headroom at the same volume with no compression.
I would like someone to expalin how to set up the HRM or to advise with the pots or the Push Pull knobs etc.. I have a D'Lite 44 and a Two-Rock to compare and I would love the Ceriatone to house a reverb.. They could put a digital one in the loop......... I guess I will have to try a Bluesmaster HRM ....

How would you describe the differencies in the HRM and Bluesmasters OD? Does one have more gain, more sustain etc?
