Germino Lead 55 or Headroom 100 Sound Clips???

[johnny q]

I see a lot of love on this forum for Germino amps, so I figured I would have the best luck posting here!

Does anyone have any clips of the Germino Lead 55, Lead 55 LOVO or Headroom 100?? I have listened to all of the clips on Gregs site and I would like to hear something other than Allman Brothers tunes (no offense to the boys). In fact, I am dying to hear someone play the intro to "Heartbreaker" through one of these amps!

I got a Germino Monterey-100 four KT-66, Classic 45 front-end, Superbass values, huge trannys spec'd back to '65-66.
I got a ton of clips, but all the distortion is pedal generated.....

Yep - I have seen some of your other posts, nice amp you have there!! I have been checking out your clips as well, they sound great.

I'm curious how you generate the distortion - overdrive pedal in front of the amp?? Any attenuation??

Either an od, distortion, fuzz in front of the amp.

I recently got a Hot Plate, but that just to run my amp's volume a little higher.....the amp is still "clean".

I have a Headroom 100 but at the moment no place to host clips. Plus, I won't be able to post pro-player clips. But I was under the impression that there's only a handful of HR-100s in existence so if you have a place for it, I could make a clip.

Thanks - unfortunately I am in the same boat, no place to host either.

What are your impressions of the HR100?? Any particular likes/dislikes??

If you tell me what you want to hear I can record a couple of clips and email them to you. I've got a L55 with a Germino 212 w/Greenbacks. For guitars I have Strat, Tele, LP and McCarty.

I'm sure you'll love it. I'd like to try my L55 through a 412 at some point. I'll bet it will sound huge! Maybe I'll just add another 212 for a mini stack

A Lead 55 w/ 4x12 and Greenbacks is going to sound incredible. You'll have no problems doing Zeppelin with this set up. Are you in a situation where you can play loud, or do you plan on using pedals to get most of the gainy sounds. If you can get the amp up to 8 or higher, watch out!!
