I am looking forward to running home with it and plugging it into my Marshall 1960 4x12 cabinet that has Celestion G30's and Greenbacks in it. It is an open back cabinet. My other 4x12 cabinet is an 1960AV closed back cabinet with vintage 75's in it. It should be interesting to hear the difference between the two cabinets using the H&K.
I will be demoing the amp using my Diezel Herbert as a reference point for me to hear the differences. It's funny how your hearing can think it sounds great until you compare it with another "like" item. I know what the Herbert sounds like and I have played that amp more than any other.
I am really excited to get it and try it out. I also got the footpedal to drive the amp.
As I do the burn in of the amp and compare it to the Diezel I will be updating this thread with my thoughts; good and bad. I want to document this amp to it's fullest. How is the clean? Is the crunch good? Does the distortion sound fizzy? Does ultra light me up? How are the effects? Do they stand up to my pedals?
I will be writing my thoughts in here for all to view.
Wish me and the GrandMeister 36 luck on our journey! It should be a fun ride.
