Hello everyone!

I am preparing to order my OTS and I am not sure if the S & M or the HRM is the right choice.  Also, I am not sure if I should go with a 50 or 100 watt version.  Any feedback is appreciated!

I have the S & M 100 with half power switch.  I also got Nick to make OD volume like HRM.  The clean side has a master volume and the OD does not.  This allows better control over the volume difference of the clean and OD channels.  Get some earplugs as the 100 watt is very loud.

S&M is the most aggressive amp compared to others... a lot of OD on tap, it goes into feedback really nicely. OD is a bit brighter, it has more presence compared to others. On the other hand with S&M it's hard to set nice clean and OD sound at the same time ( at least that's mine experience ). So if you want a rock machine and don't care about switching between clean and OD on the fly... that's the amp for you.
HRM has less OD, it's smoother and deeper sounding amp. More Robben Ford if you wish. With HRM you can set a OD sound which goes better with your clean sound... if that's important to you.
OD character on both amps are different but it's hard to explain how different.

You did watch the Marin youtube clip about those amps, did you?

Bottom line... both amps are awesome sounding devices. So what every you decide at the end, you will end up with an awesome amp.
 

What is better – 50 bucks or 100?
Now you know!

Probably BLUESMASTER (not sure about fenderish though).

Hi Hywel,

I've played Larry's Bludo which is blusemaster clean and I've also modified my amp’s clean section (60 k slop resistor and no NFB on V1), also permanent 60pf on volume pot.
Huge clean sound.
Bludo was bigger, it’s 100 w. Killer amp.

Cheers

Might that be Matt S.?

Figured it out now, its the 3 way switching you added between pin 6 and 7.

have you left the mid and bass caps at 0.1  after you changed the slope resistor to 60k?
