heritagefan7 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 It's been a while since I posted on this, so I thought I'd start a new thread as a way to tell everyone thanks for all of the help. I'd asked bunches of questions and got lots of great help. HOC is again--and always AWESOME! thanks to all. In the end I let of the "I'm gonna play stadiums" concept and bagged the Mesa Road king idea after some good advice from here. I tried what was available in the area many times. Tried: Blackstar HT50 head, Blackstar ht40 and HT 60 combo, H&K 36 tubemeister head and 36 combo, Egnater head, fender assortment, Vox AC 30 and AC 15. In the end it was price and tonal diversity. I went with a H&K switchblade (used) 50watt tube combo. GOOD REVIEWS, AFFORDABLE PRICE, LOTS OF DIVERSITY, RIGHT WATTAGE. I preferred a 50 head but H&K doesn't make one unless you wanna pay serious money. I liked the tubemeister and hope the switchblade is similar. (silly name though) My favorite on paper/audio clips was a Bogner Shiva---but again--too much money! Bottom line: H&K 50 switchblade combo (wnated head!) used from GC (lowest price). 30 day return if I don't like it of course. All tube amp with separate on board trem, reverb, delay & chorus. (we will see how these sound)...$499.00 free shipping. It arrives Wednesday. THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP....I hope it sounds good. HOC is made up of so many amazing folks...Thanks all!
heritagefan7 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Nice and hope you enjoy it!!! C'mon over and try it out---I owe you a few amp hours Will!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 C'mon over and try it out---I owe you a few amp hours Will! Sure, and I will bring a 'Bird!!!
smokedtires Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 I would have loved the Bogner Shiva, but too much $ for me too. Enjoy your new amp when it arrives. Cheers

TalismanRich Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 I definitely want to hear this thing. H&K is an amp that I've never played through before. They weren't very common around here .
heritagefan7 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Now predicting 4 or more inches--for those who deal with snow every winter...will UPS still deliver Wednesday? when I was in snow territory I didn't play guitar so this is new territory!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Now predicting 4 or more inches--for those who deal with snow every winter...will UPS still deliver Wednesday? when I was in snow territory I didn't play guitar so this is new territory! Um, think again. 8 inches is now predicted. And yes UPS never stops............
