«  Mr Hector in 15 watts »

Published on 11/01/11 at 03:33
Value For Money : Excellent
Head 15-watt amp switchable in 8-watt all-tube structured around two EL84 and two 12AX7.
2 channels with separate EQ (clean / drive)
Simple connection with an imput impedance selector (4/8/16ohms) but no effects loop which is a shame, and obviously entered the footswitch.

UTILIZATION

Then config 'ultra simple, two separate channels.
The clean has its gain and control of charaters, which is in fact a specter frequency which will act on the mellow sound.
The channel driver has gain, treble, bass. Missed it in a control medium but is not essential for that.
So since it's handmade in Poland you do not have manual and your head is delivered in a garbage bag wrapped in a big box (it made me laugh super psk is well protected.)
Then the sound! well for having a mesa boogie rect-o-verb, a marshall dsl, and (I am ashamed) a BUGERA 333, there has not picture it is packed up all three (especially the BUGERA), the clear channel simply beautiful and the users of this brand will not contradict, but the channel remains in the logical drive that was the Mr hector and other hi gain but still versatile.

SOUNDS

For me with my progressive metal band it suits me quite it is powerful enough even in rehearsal and in concert, but not that!
I use it with an Ibanez RG with Seymour SH4 and Phat Cat, a sg in sh1, and a Yamaha SG 1000 with three guitars it behaves very differently so it depends on your guitar and your shovel, more it is an excellent amp has to learn to make bread in your game, because we dipose of (good headroom but not its more like a JSX or 6505.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months now every day is a choice that I would do as the value for money is excellent despite the lack of a footswitch Laboga, and must necessarily have to change bossFS-5L channel =).

I tried the Engl Gigmaster, the dark orange terror, the ibanez tube sream.
The choice is ultimately focused on the Laboga for its build quality and versatility.
