5 Classic Riffs, 5 Classic Tones

We are putting the HT-20R MkII through its paces to see if it can re-create some classic guitar tones from iconic riffs.

All the tones in this video were a guitar plugged directly into the amplifier with no pedals. The gain and reverb are all from the HT-20R MkII. The amp was mic’d with an Aston Origin Condenser microphone about an inch from the speaker grille.

All the tones in this video are attempts to get close and are not exact replacements for the exact artist rig. All the tones were recorded with the master volume of the amp set to 1, the overdrive channel volume at 9 to push the preamp and the 20w mode engaged.
