[idiotbear]

65 quid, I couldn't go wrong really...

Nice nice, I am jealous.

I hope that you guys end up liking these - I feel somehow responsible having talked them up so much in the past. It's almost time to start a HH fanboy forum!

this is 100% your fault Michael...you started it all...it's all downhill from now on!!!

What is going on with these HH amps. They seem to be constantly talked about. What am i missing about them exactly? I don't understand the love 

[zhivago]

they sound amazing...that's the bottom line.

just try one....you'll be amazed.

[Deckard]

Tbh what i don't know about Tone and good amps could fill a small series of books 


I'll take your word for it that they are good in that case. Just everyone seems to be talking about them and its all just lost on me. My knowledge of what a guitar amp looks like doesn't stretch too far beyond a bit of Tolex and big wooden box 

[zhivago]

I have played through many amps, vintage Marshalls, Fenders, Voxes....also a handful of boutique amps...so I have a pretty good benchmark as far as what a good guitar amp sounds like

all I have to say is that HH amps are very usable, robust, light (they are transistor) and dirt cheap......and they sound great...sparkly, huge, with tight bottom end and note-to-note seperation...and they overdrive like a Zvex Super Duper when cranked (they are Mosfet designs)

my Blackface '65 Fender stays at home and the HH comes with me to every gig....that pretty much says it all.


of course, if I wanted traditional tube breakup, I'd use the tube amp....but for all the gigs I play where I don't know what size room it'll be, or if I'll be mic'd or not, the HH head I have through my Marshall 4x12 handles anything thrown at it.


and the crowd loves the fact it glows in the dark!

Do you see many Burman amps in local shops up there (they were made in Newcastle in the 1970s/early 1980s)? They're fantastic (and fantastically heavy) amps too.

Now it all makes sense 

Just was strange as i had no idea what the hell they were, even when i'd seen pictures. I thought everyone would be total tube junkies, seems not!

I can't say i have ever seen or heard of Burman amps. Tbh alot of the guitar stores up here are just franchise/chain stores. We've got a Guitar Guitar, a Dolphin Music, Sound Control... all very run of the mill, they very rarely have second hand stuff in. Its mostly new stock with a little dash of boutique amp and a few top end guitars.
