Members Monitor2000 Posted August 6, 2017 Members Share Posted August 6, 2017 Using a Telecaster with lil 59 bridge and SSL-1 neck; Les Paul with Pearly Gates and JP wiring:-with the Tele the clean channel has a gorgeous tone up to 2 o'clock and the gradually takes on a rich overdrive that smoothly grows to a growl dimed. The overdrive channel can be controlled with surprising accuracy beginning at gain access at 1 the sound in almost clean with just a hint of overdrive. Gradually increasing the overdrive it is refreshing to find a very linear increase that allows you to dial in a mild overdrive as bluesy as a Fender Deluxe and wind the gain up into a ripping Led Zep sound that remains articulate even at this frenzied mode.-with the Les Paul the higher output pickups start overdriving the clean channel at about 12 o'clock and as sweet as the Tele overdrive is the Les Paul produces a richer tone but even dimed the overdriven clean channel does not breakdown and give you mush like many amps do. The LP on the overdrive channel is a barnstorming ride from 2 through 10 driving harder and louder on a linear path to paint peeling tone that again remains articulate.I have always been devoted to my Champ 5F1 for 5W playing and over the years have used many amps in this Watt range remaining faithful to the Champ. The HT-5 has changed that, it just provides such easy access to such a broad range of clean to distortion sounds I am leaning towards making it my go to amp.
