Got a offer to exchange my blackmore with a H&K Switchblade. Has anyone here tried this amp? Is it any good?
H&K Switchblade?

I think our very own Lasse is doing some product demos for them (H&K), and also will have presets included or available that are made by him

I checked it a little some months ago during a session...it reminded me the Powerball a little. But I didn't mic it so I've no samples :\

I know he was doing sound clips for the Coreblade. Is he doing stuff for the rest of their stuff too?
Very interested to hear what he comes up with.

Great concept for an amp. I haven't been knocked out by the Switchblade and Coreblade clips I've heard, though. My first impression is that the tone seems not as cool as other high gain tube amps, and the FX aren't as good as dedicated FX units. The tradeoff is versatility and ease of use, and I'm sure they make fantastic live rigs for that reason. A great alternative to Line 6, if nothing else.

Yes, it's a very versatile live amp because you can save lot of presets etc... but for a studio amp I would choose something else
Wow, can you save your amp settings as presets too, or just FX? If it's both, that must be a pretty elaborate system (I guess the tone stack is electrically-controlled analog, like the Mesa Triaxis)

You can save eq, fx and volume. When you swith your presets the sound changes but the pots remains at the same position. If you wanna move the pots in the positions of the presets you have to move them and when you find the right position a led turns on.
