Additionally, and this may be only me but FWIW, I've never played a H&K amp I really liked. Though if I someday pull together a Rush tribute band, I'll revisit my decision. :biggrin:
Actually the H&K Blues Master is known as a very Twin like amp/preamp/DI and is known to work extremely well for Jerry tones
50W is usually plenty of power these days if you mic the speaker - Tons of people gig with Princeton 15W amps actually

I hadn't heard of that item but I'm always open to new ideas and info.

And you're certainly right about micing the amp if you want to.

This guy's H&K does sound good!

What I cut and pasted was John's endorsements list. I didn't realize that's what it was and below it was the gear he actually uses list. You're right on the H&K. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes there is
Holy shit, you typed that fast. Were you waiting like a tiger to pounce on me before I could take 20 seconds to correct myself (we posted our crossing posts at exactly 5:17 each)?! I surrender!!

It seemed like you were trying to prove me wrong - not the other way around

Let's lower the temperature. Everything's cool. This is a discussion board. Sometimes we correct another's errors, sometimes our errors are corrected by others, sometimes we learn that H&K amps aren't only for Alex Lifeson (that's me making fun of myself now :wink:), and sometimes we live no particular way but our own. :musicsmile:
