Nice to hear your story. I bought a new OTS HRM 50watt direct from Nik about a year ago. My first D-style. Incredible amp. Ive had nice Boogies,Fenders and Marshalls. Had to sell it and some other things due to the ecomony,but will get another soon. May try the Ford or the Bluesmaster. Am anxious to get one.
What is your impresson of the OD and the clean channel? Are you going to spring for a D_lator?
I was thinkin about one of the 'Plush Fuchs' tube fx loop buffers, but for now i've got all the fx out front and just an earthquaker reverb in the loop.

Thoughts? How much tone is being sucked by the reverb in the loop unbuffered?

Hey all, I'm new to the Ceriatone forum so hello from Australia.

Anyway, I just got a 50watt HRM OTS (used, sorry Nik) and i am blown away by this amp. I have been a confirmed Mesa nut for the last 20yrs and owned Caliber 50+, Mk III, DC-5, rack setup with Groove Tubes preamp and Boogie 50/50 power section and most recently a Mk IV. I really thought that the Mk IV would be the last amp I ever owned but..........I stumbled accross the HRM in my local music store and was awestruck by how responsive it was. As It turns out my favorite players are all Dumble users ie SRV, Carlton, Ford, Santana. I now know they get a lot of their tones (yeah I know fingers are the most important part, Lol). A lot of it is the crazy magic in the Dumble circuit that Nik has copied (enhanced?) in these amps.
 
I gotta tell you though, the amp scared the hell outa me at first. I mean i'm used to responsive amps but this thing is at a whole other level. It makes me bring my 'A' game and is a direct conduit for my playing. If you play like crap or lazy the amp spanks you but if you are 'on' it rewards you. The range of tones and the touch sensitivity are awesome, its really something else!

And Nik is fantastic. His response to my emails was first class. Thanks Mate.
