oops yeh sorry should've clarified, i mean the tone in the middle of the clip that has just a smidgen of OD, just enough to get that classic break up when picked with force

oh dear me!!! thanks for that!! this guys clean tone made me get goosebumps at one point! its like a mix between a blackface and some sort of BB king tone, my god thats hard to beat

can your OTS hit that?

Totally Agree....Im much more interested in the blues-man side of the amp rather than the traditional RF sounds...

Pickmaster......


THANK YOU!!!!

this side of the amp was a myth until now....

ive heard how its cleans are amazing and glassy like a blackface and can really hit that traditional blues tone.  but none of the soundclips (bar one or two using special boost pedals) exemplify that side of the amp until you posted this.


tell nik to give you a present, you have just made him at least one more sale when the time is right to spend the money...

  uhhh.....ill take your word for it  haha thanks mate

Thanks for the info Nik

so as i understand it the HRM basically is a different tone stack, and this creates a more "rock" sound on the OD channel, and makes it slightly more touch sensitive..

are the cleans affected much or is it more the OD channel?  when it comes out i think it would be really helpful if there was a soundclip on the site that showed the two amps at the same settings and so it would display the difference to people.  because at the moment I have a feeling people who arent dumble savvy (myself included) still see a bit of mystery around what the HRM was designed to do...
cheers

That sounds like the more sensible approach i reckon...

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are the sound differences between the standard and HRM models??  I guess what Im trying to say is tone wise, what does HRM try to achieve??

dont say that it just means nik should put up his prices!!! wait till i order my overtone nik haha

So I can see you really want to try and hit that SRV tone!

he used a dumble but the SSS wasnt really like the ODS, as im sure you know it just got louder and stayed clean!

there is a company that made dumble clones called mystique...theres not alot of them around but they made one suited to hitting that SRV tone...and from what ive heard it hits it damn good!  im guessing there is a schematic around for it, maybe if you emailed nik and begged politely he might consider throwing it together for you as like a modified OTS? but thats just speculation he may be way too busy to even contemplate something like that

alternatively you could just buy the overtone for the Dstyle amp and the mystique for the SRV style dumble! (if you can find one)

that makes sense the OTS is probably known for smoothing out....

as far as im aware the amp in that clip is a deville 4x10, so a loud tweed fender, which is where that harshness comes from, the "twangy" clean that the amp would produce without the pedal is just amplified, to create that harshness...

Cool thanks man, i thought it might

how would you describe the sort of sounds it throws out?? in the theme of this thread, would you be confident in being able to dial this sort of stuff in whilst using the clean channel through one of those pedals?

Heres a question:

how does the OTS go when you dial in a nice clean tone and put a pedal like a tubescreamer or something to that effect in front of it? has anyone here done this? how does it sound?

i say this because i think you would get a completely different overdriven sound to the one produed on the OD channel, but im curious as to what it would be like...

HAHA dont go there mate, take it from me

marin,

ive spent 4 pages discussing my point properly and in a civil manner

this was never a trolling excercise, others have agreed with me in this thread and see where im coming from.

the only reason i said offensive things is because that i had already been attacked by you through condescension for no good reason. and i didnt actually say you were those things in my previous post, only that your writing makes you come across like that.

this thread has now hit rock bottom, i wont be posting in it again

i find it funny that most others in this thread see my point but you are having trouble understanding.  you either dont understand, which makes you dumb, or you do understand but take issue with it, which makes you a sad individual... which one is it?


Thats because the dumble wasnt based on vox, soldano or engl circuits. dont be so condescending, it makes you look like a wanker, and we wouldn't want that.

Me too.

Look, forget i posted that video. get the two rock and mayer out of your head...i dont want to be mayer, i dont even like the guy.

I wanted to know if the OTS can do blues tones, and i used a video of a similar amp to HELP YOU understand where i was coming from, and now you're trying to insult me about it



and my advice is you forget this thread ever existed, you are getting way too defensive about this, and you're coming across as a real dickhead
