Hi, I'm thinking of buying a 50 watt HRM head; I'm still undecided, but I think it would be HRM rather than non HRM. My question for now, though, is how well do these amps clean up with the guitar's volume control? I do all my gigging with a Fender '57 Tweed Twin RI at present, I keep an Xotic BB on all the time, and control the amount of drive from the guitar. This works well for me, and I'd like to be able to do the same with the Ceriatone, but using the amp's gain instead of a pedal. Any opinions here?



Thanks.

I think most people prefer the non HRM. Get one, you won't regret it.

Thanks, but why is the non HRM more popular? I've emailed Nik several times, and he's got back to me each time with very helpful info, but I really need some more input before I decide. I run a blues rock trio, and play an old Strat and 335.

A Bluesmaster HRM will clean up the best from your guitars volume, is a good match for the 335 and you can tweak the OD circuit for taste with the internal trimmers.

I like using my guitar volume on a boosted single channel amp aswell and a tweed is ideal for this, but I think when you have two channels with a great clean and great overdrive (plus a boost for both of those) you won't find yourself using it like a tweed.

I wouldn't say there's any preferred D-style just slightly different flavours.

Thanks guys; I hadn't considered a Bluesmaster, can someone explain the difference between that and a regular OTS? I actually use my Strat for 90% of what I do, but in a blues rock kind of way:-) The 335 gets used on about four or five tunes per gig.
