Baron Custom amps (feedback needed please)

[ArnaudM]

I just wanted to place an order for a Baron amp. But as I live in France, it is quite a bit more expansive, so I really have to be sure of what I do. Custom amps are a bit difficult to sell when they are used, I don't want to loose my money.

I've owned a couple of hi gain amps, and tried a lot : Laboga Mr Hector, a custom french high gain amp, Rhodes Gemini, Engl Invader, Mesa Dual Recto, EVH III 50 W, and I currently own a 5150 I. I want a second amp, with a bit more personality.

On the videos I listened to, and the clips I've had the chance to listen to, I have to say I have been seduced by the roaring medium/bass voicing and the silky high frequencies, but the YT compression is what you know it is, and the sound clips can be so different from the original signal. Any Baron K2 or K2 DHG to tell me a bit more about that machine ?
Thanks

Kylendm is another guy to ask, but he's not on here as much. I actually bugged him a little while back about their Snott Watt and he raves about the K88.

I actually did a clip of my 5150 and Baron and how they compare.

First is the Baron then 5150. 5150 definitely has more of that grinding mid range but the Baron is just super clean high gain.

Thank you very much for the clip !
