Title: Is my HRM 50 modded? Post by: Plato on January 30, 2013, 09:59:18 PM Hello,
I recently bought a used OTS HRM 50 Watt (build 2011 by Ceriatone), which works pretty well by now. When I opened it to install a HRM-bypass-switch, I mentioned, that the environment of tube 1 seemed to miss some parts compared to the schematic offered by ceriatone. Is this some kind of mod you saw before? Andreas (http://www.bluefrontcafe.de/tube.jpg) Title: Re: Is my HRM 50 modded?

One of the later models puts this on a switch which would have been the sensible thing to do. Title: Re: Is my HRM 50 modded?

this helps to calm down again after getting aware, that parts of my amp were missing. Anyway - refering to the sound I wasn't missing anything at any time :-) Andreas |
