Was looking at the H & K head as I've heard very good things about the built un speaker emulation, and it glows rather nicely...

Looks like a pretty sweet home recording setup.
Congrats!

I may have to turn up at yours one day to try all this new gear out...
What wattage is the head? I'm assuming fairly low output from the size.

Dang, affordable tube amp with recording-friendly wattage, 3-band EQ and speaker sim?? Didn't even know these existed, the demos sound really fucking nice

It's a five watt amp nickd. It's fucking loud and does everything from cleans to all our scooped metal. I'm tempted to try the 18 watt model for gigging with. I paid £139 for it at a store 5 mins from home.

What the living fuck? That's incredible.
I may have to invest in something like this.

I'm thinking of grabbing the matching 1x10 or 1x12 to go with it. Can't wait to try the di out into my focusrite.

Share some samples if you can, Robbo!
The beauty of something like a self-contained amp and speaker sim unit is that the only variables are guitar, player and amp settings, rather than endless cabinet, microphone and microphone position variants. Obviously those things still make a huge difference, but it makes it a little easier to judge stuff

If I can get my adapters for my speakers I'll try and do an riff for the weekend.
339 and 5watt valve goodness.

Yeah first I've heard of these too. Excellent idea, and you really did get a tremendous price. Eagerly awaiting an demo!

Thats a lot of amp for 140 quid!
It's surprising how loud 5 watts is, isn't it?

excellent, I know you have talked about a couple of those pedals for a while. I bet your neighbours are going to love you these next few weeks
