On a side note.
When you have an excellent amp (e,g, the BM, a DC30, etc), and find the speakers you like best, you then reach a great but horrible realisation that almost all the solos by your favourite guitarists on CD sound like the amp was lame, and that the amp you have sounds way better. OK, the recording, mixing and squashing onto CD doesn't help, but we really have such excellent gear these days that it's sad we can't take it back in a time machine to give to our heroes. I know people like to worship vintage gear, but you will find it hard to locate many recordings from the 60s or 70s that can match the tone I can dial up in my amps. Even recent recordings fail to capture how excellent these amps sound when you're in the room, but isn't that the same with any instrument?
OK, the Deluxe, JTM45 and AC30 were great, but look at what we have now, DC30s, Dumbles, boutique amps with whatever refinements you want
Thank you all for your help!
I'm not looking for a sound one guitarplayer had in 1978. I just want to "open" my ears for another sound.
I'm still loving my Blackface Super and my modded Bassman LTD. Both of the sound really fantastic. But I just want to look for something different. The D-Style Amp is not a copy of a Marshall or Fender. It has its own sound.
That's why I want it. Of course, it has to give me Blues sound I described at the beginning of the topic. I'm just looking forward to get it 2011 done.
Well, so I have to tell Nik that he has to add a 100k trimmer instead of the 68k between mid pot and earth.
Is there anything else that has to be modified to make it better?
Thanks a lot!!!

Does anyone tested 10" speakers with the HRM BM?
I've got 4 Jensen P10R and 4 Eminence Blue AlNiCo here...
