How to get Gregor Hildens Bludo Superdrive tone

Post by tubedog »

Hello There,

I like the tone of Gregor Hildens Bludo Superdrive very mutch. Does anyone know what type of amp this is, HRM 101, non HRM 101, Bluesmaster or #148. I live in Belgium. Anybody know who can build this amps here.
I have played a Ceriatone OTS100 from a friend and 100HRM bud these amps never come close to Gregors amp. I use a 1 X 12" EV 12L OEM Thiele cabinet.

Well there is a list member here that used to live in The Netherlands, but he has transplanted to Long Island.

What about Van Weerden or Tommy Cougar of Mystic fame.

Thank's a lot Gary,

A guy on a German forum told me this is a 100K #124. Just want to know shure.
I know both van Weelden and Mystic amps and they are to mutch Marshall in my ears. Just not the real thing.
I also heard Tom Lanjouw playing a Hbamp last year and I was very impressed how he nails that typical tone with an amp that doesn´t even look like a Dumble. Problem is Henk from Hbamps had some serious health problems and is not taking orders for the next six months.
I think I just have to be patient.

IIRC Gregor amp was an high-plate and also a little bit different from #124

How silly,

I built that amp, they are available, you can get one just like it. It is not a #124 at all, I don't build #124.
