Genericmusic Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 the head arrives tomorrow Very cool. I bet that'll rattle some glasses of the shelf.
TalismanRich Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Looks like another cool snag. Brent, you need to expand the man-cave! It must be getting crowded down there.
FredZepp Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 That looks imposing. Like a silent black Heritage monolith, soon to be awakened. It should make for a great day tomorrow.
brentrocks Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Looks like another cool snag. Brent, you need to expand the man-cave! It must be getting crowded down there. thats for sure Rich...i'm probably not gonna keep the rivera or the union jack
brentrocks Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Looks like another cool snag. Brent, you need to expand the man-cave! It must be getting crowded down there. Thats for sure Rich...i will prob sell the Rivera and the union jack
koula901 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Brent, Seriously, you gotta find a storefront and sell these things! What kind of head will be coming?
kbp810 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Brent, Seriously, you gotta find a storefront and sell these things! What kind of head will be coming? Yes, do tell, do tell!!!
rjsanders Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 thats for sure Rich...i'm probably not gonna keep the rivera or the union jack the R55 makes a great grab&go, tho'. wished i'd kept mine ('til i got the little Juke(s)). and i imagine it didn't cost much, R-series Riveras being way undervalued...
brentrocks Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 Sheesh! im waiting for UPS as we speak....
smurph1 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 im waiting for UPS as we speak.... Tell him to STEP ON IT!!
kbp810 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Tell him to STEP ON IT!! Agreed! I've gotten like no work done today because I keep starring at this thread waiting to find out! (okay, not really... but I am anxious to hear what super great thing you've snatched up this time)
rjsanders Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 1st thing i noticed about this was, you keep turning it up & it keeps getting louder (wasn't used to that, w/all the BF Fenders i've had...)
brentrocks Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 1st thing i noticed about this was, you keep turning it up & it keeps getting louder (wasn't used to that, w/all the BF Fenders i've had...) oh yeah.....its LOUD!
brentrocks Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Ahhhh Yessss....it was killing me to look at that cab, waiting, wondering....it finally came!!! The Heritage Colonial head doent dissapoint! Although i have a lot of playing to do with the US/UK switches with different settings, its clear that this amp is crystal clear, pure tone! As i unboxed it, i saw that they had pulled the tubes and wraped them in bubble wrap inside the amp...so i let it warm up for a while, installed the tubes, biased the power tubes and FIRED IT UP!!!! I was surprised at the amount of low-end, especially from a 2x12...super crisp highs. There is tons of flexabilty between the MOOD and Presence...you can taylor this amp to suit just about any need. CLIPS... Clean with H 170 http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_6663716 w/ H 170 and BIG MUFF http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_6663749
FredZepp Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 From those clips. .. it does sound like a good amount of power and a wide frequency response. No mush or flub to the sound, just powerful fidelity. (should be great for pedals also) I would bet the Timmy pedal that RJ posted about would sound great through there. But I bet you'd want a pedal that can go more metal if needed also. Great job getting the clips posted so quick.. you're the man.
Steiner Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Man, you don't mess around. The other two amps are already out of the picture. Nice clips; enjoy!
rjsanders Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 pretty entertaining, eh? where were the vols? around 9 o'clock? SAG or PUNCH? (it's always a challenge to post clips of a Colonial, cuz it's basically 4 amps in one (incl. power tube changes), with all the not-readily-apparent tonal options available. Tower of Tone (from a couple years ago):

brentrocks Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 looks like im gonna be home today, sans wife, sans daughter....YIPEEEEEE!!! i'm gonna do some more clips so you'all can get a feel for the versiatility of this amp.
