Thanks for the suggestions guys. You guys rock !!! Am looking to use the pedals both on the clean and dirty channel. I am looking also at the Maxon OD820 which is compared to a Klon in some ways.
But the tone hunter looks very expensive achim1. 400$ is a tad bit pricey. Definetely will check out the VPD1 from TC Electronic. Keep em coming.
You are all very helpful and kind. Thanks.

Thanks for the care SoundPerf

1. I got this built and setup by Ceriatone @ Nik
2. Use Mesa 6l6 GCs
3. Gain (i.e Volume the first knob) around 3pm
4. Back trimmer at 11.00 am

I am talking about the Echoplex preamp.

Thanks for your time.

I think the best thing would be to try and tweak the amp some more. I am also thinking about the high gain mod somebody has posted to tget that kind of high gainish joe bonamassa lead tone in one of the forums.

This amp is definetely for the tweaker's joy. I saw soeone also mentioned a Seyour duncan twin tube classic. But as such love the amps cleans and the blues heaven. Really wow !!!

Also think maybe changing the speaker from a WT65 to EV 12L might ake a lot of difference. I also saw the suggestion letting the amp run for more hours for settling in.

Can you share your marshall settings for the HRM please. Would be a great blessing for me.
Btw, what is the preamp based pedal ? I might be interested.

Thanks for the replies. Makes sense. If only they were not >200$ . I heard there are some eminence alternatives for the EV, but might as well wait and get the real deal.

Hi,

I have a 50 Watt HRM that I love and get some nice bluesy lead tones and bite with my strat. However I also love early plexi tones (Think ZZTop, Ted Nugent(Cranked Fender)). Can you suggest some pedals that can push the pre of the HRM so I can get those sounds.

More raw gritty power chordish tones. Ideally I want a plexi for those, but the hole in wallet from HRM is still not closed.

Thanks for your time. Love this forum and Kudos to Nik.

Hi,

I find that the EVM 12L Classic is rated at 200 W. But the OTS is only 50 W. Isn't the speaker too much for the amp to move
Just a newbie stupid question please.

Thanks for your time.
