Heritage Colonial (Please read that)

Hey Guys,

Today i brought my colonial to my located musicstore cause they wanted to give it a testrun.
Well, if i don´t already turned deaf, this folks said it sounds like a Hiwatt!!
I always thought it´s more of that Bassman/JTM45 Thing but what do i know.

Can someone give me some sound settings to achieve a great Bassman/JTM45 Tone !

Thanks,

Mario

You've heard the amp. What do YOU think it sounds like? Hiwatt sounds better anyway.

Hi,

Never played a Hiwatt in Person, but according to several Clips on Youtube the Colonial sounds nothing like a Hiwatt.
The only Thing they have in common are the Huge Clean Tones.

Anyone else got suggestions!

Might look up PaulC here: http://www.myspace.com/paulcaudio
He designed the Colonial & would have all kinds of good info on how to set it up. He also makes a couple of really cool pedals
