I have been using my heartbreaker combo for a couple of years now and I was wondering if any other heartbreaker users have achieved a usable "plexi-ish" sound that this amp claims to be able to attain on lust...and what settings are used?
Also keep in mind that I have not tried EL34's in any of my amplifiers.
I have read a couple reviews on this amp that claim you can't tell this and a plexi apart when ab'd?? Has anyone here performed a side by side comparison?
Before you answer and say "you want a marshall?...buy a marshall" I would love to PTT on a real plexi but they are wicked expensive. I have been GASSING for a 1987 plexi clone or a stilleto as well. But before I pull the trigger on one of those, I wanted to see what options, if any are available on the HB.
I used my boss ds1 in a outside gig a few weeks ago on lust and it sounded decent. I was using my hamer most of the night and only picked up my strat for one song. This thing purred with humbuckers.
Is it the c90's that make this thing sound dark with single coils? I have been experimenting with a mix of c90 and vintage 30. I am almost thinking about a nice mid "honky" scumback 25 watter to replace the c90.
any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
highest regards
