So I finally got my Hoof V.2 (based on the green russian) in yesterday. I didn't have much time to mess with it last night but in the little time I did have I would say I was somewhat disappointed. I had some more time earlier today in a large room and was still disappointed, I couldn't really dial it in. I got some more time later today, but this time I pulled out my BYOC Ram's Head Beaver to compare them side by side.
After about an hour of going back and forth between the two, I decided I just like the Ram's Head better. I just like the clarity it has, the way it breaks up, and also the dirtier way it breaks up. The drawback of the BYOC though is that it isn't steady. While you can dial in one awesome setting, it you roll off the fuzz, the treble comes off too and when you turn up the tone to compensate, it thins out.
Off the top of my head the only other Ram's head clones I can think of are the Ronsound Hairpie '75 and the D*A*M Ram Head. I'm guessing the Ram Head is way out of my price range and a bit hard to find as well, so tell me about the Ronsound.
So what other Ram's Head clones are out there, particularly ones with a little extra mids or a mids switch? Do any of them have a little more gain too? I like kind of a slightly raspy or dirty breakup.
P.S.: My liking the Ram's Head better than the Hoof is definitely just personal preference as I did a blind test and my brother liked the Hoof better.
