I just sold my Heartbreaker and picked up an F50. Mainly because the HB weighed 90 pounds and didn't have enough gain for me anymore!
I only got to try it for a few minutes last night, but I really like the gain channel.
I didn't really find a clean setting that felt right to me, too stiff, but I can tell it's in there if I can get it set right.
Unfortunately, my wife didn't like the volume!
I'm planning on adding a few mods and will share them here when I'm done.
Here is what I'm thinking:
Series Loop - Parallel loop does nothing for me! I'll put the Channel Select switch where the Mix pot used to be maybe.....
Master Volume - I'll probably add a DC style Master Volume where the Chanel Select switch was
Smoother Cleans - I'll probably smooth out the cleans a little and make them more "Organic" sounding. I know a lot of guys rave about this clean channel, but the Heartbreaker cleans were incredible!
Bias Pot - I've pretty much stopped adding bias pots to my Mesa amps, but I'm dying to try this amp with 6V6's!
Contour Knob - Maybe an Express style Contour Knob?
Anybody have any mods I should try? Anybody have any mod ideas they would like for me to try and report back?
