JackBaruth Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Took this photo tonight after the Patriot showed up. On days like this I feel blessed to be part of the Heritage "family".

golferwave Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Great collection!! Congrats on your new amp!
hinesarchtop Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Wow! makes me wish I would've kept my first run 357. Love the Limba/Korina one.............how does the amp sound?
TalismanRich Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Glad to see the Patriot made it in good shape. Mine sat at the Greenwood In GC for about 4 months before I went up and rescued it. I could have had them send it down to our local store, but I had never really dealt with GC before this. What tubes does your amp have in it? I had GT 6L6s but switched them out to Sovteks. Had to swap out a bad JAN 12ax7 was well for an old EH that I had as well.
JackBaruth Posted October 20, 2011 Author Posted October 20, 2011 The Patriot has GT main tubes and E-H 12AX7s in it. I am simply blown away by the character, drive, and depth of this amp. I have more than a couple of amps and consider myself to be pretty jaded about tone, but the Patriot is simply fabulous.
Gitfiddler Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I have more than a couple of amps and consider myself to be pretty jaded about tone, but the Patriot is simply fabulous. That about says it all right there, folks!!
TalismanRich Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 The Patriot is 45 watt through 2 6L6 (or EL34s). It uses 12AX7s All hand wired. The EQ is a 3 band with a bright switch (some were switches, mine is a pull pot on the volume control). There is a 2 knob reverb with a "mood" control that adjusts the negative feedback in the amp. I read somewhere that it is loosely based on the Fender Super Reverb but I don't have anything to support that. In terms of sonics, it goes from a tweed type of tone to a blackface SR type tone through the use of the mood control. It's not a master volume amp, so you can't dial down the volume and overdrive the front end for OD.
bolero Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 wow that would be very interesting with EL34's I bet!! nice feature ot be able to use 6L6/EL34 thanks!
