Ghehehe....everything that's good in my opinion....examples...Pink Floyd/David Gilmour, Santana, Clapton, Bonamassa, John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz, Chris de Burgh(yep, that guy...lol), Genesis, Supertramp, SRV, Gary Moore...etc...a lot...

@Tommy: Yeah, I know...I do get very close to JM's sound with the Twin Reverb and a couple of pedals.
It's just that I want a different amp at the moment and I think an OTS or BM would fit in very well...especially because it has a great drive channel , but still has an awesome clean. Most of the time I don't like multi-channel amps , but these are great.

Here's my current little allround board by the way...except for the Fat Boost, which has been swapped for a Crunch Box.

Yep...I can get in the ballpark with my Twin and a couple of pedals...not even with a rosewood neck strat. Though with the maple neck it does sound a little different...a bit brighter maybe, but that's no problem...I don't even have a Strat with rosewood neck...ghehehe

But...I want a new amp...love those tones and these amps look like they're great!

I don't use my Blues Deluxe very much...it needs servicing too, as somehow it stops working every now and then. When I used it, I only used the clean channel too. With the OTS/BM I'd be able to get a good drive out of the amp...and one that I'd like in my mind. I don't really like the drive sound of the Blues Deluxe and a Twin on 10 isn't always wanted too...lol

It's just that I don't really now much about Dumble style amps, besides the people who use(d) them and the sort of tone/sound. I really need to go try one soon.

Thanks for the info Tommy!

So...would you say the clean channel of a Bluesmaster is suited for his sound? I mean...I can always use the drive channel for other music I guess.
I have a couple of amps. A Fender Twin Reverb, Fender Blues Deluxe, Sound City 50+ and two solidstates I haven't used in years. And indeed, I only use them with pedals in front. I think a OTS or Bluesmaster would fit nicely between those.....

About the speakers again...Do you think a combo of the EVM12L and G12-65 would do a good job?

Effects-loop/pedals....I have my pedalboard in front me...with delay on it too. I could put a reverb pedal on top of the amp, that's no problem, but the delay is, I think. I guess on the clean channel there's no problem with delay in front of the amp, but the drive channel could be. I guess I could put another delay in the loop, but I don't know if I could make it work easy on stage.

I haven't heard a HRM BM(or any D-style amp) in real life(playing it myself I mean), so I'm not really able to say which one I'd really want.
I'm in the oppotunity to check out a HRM 50W...which I'm certainly going to do...just to see what it sounds like. I surely want a 100w model though.
Is it true the HRM is more modern than the BM, but the BM is more modern than the OTS?

I really love JM's tone...for example on the "Where the light is" DVD. Does he ever use the drive channel on his amps or is it really just the clean with pedals? I'm a "clean amp-dirty pedal" guy myself, playing a Twin Reverb and/or Sound City 50+(in stereo) so I like that setup very much.
But...I want a different flavour too...and that comes with a new amp too. I love Mayer's tone...but there's Santana and Bonamassa too, so....does it make sence I want an Overtone/HRM(BM)?

On the speaker story....so the G12-65 and EVM12L are favorites for a lot of people...how about a mix of speakers? Maybe one of both of these?

Oh...another question...What's with the effects-loop? I'm reading the standard loop isn't really happy with too many pedals or long cables?

Ok, so being new here I thought I'd post my stuff too....

Allround gigging board


A bunch 'o guitars


And a couple of amps

If it can only be one......David Gilmour

Hi guys...newbie here.

I've been looking into the Overtone/HRM's too....looking for the JM sound.
I thought I'd chime in....
So, the Bluesmaster would get me there the easiest. I'm wondering which speakers would be a good match in a 2x12" cab. Anyone an idea?

Cheers,

Daniel
