the Mr Hector Amp is avaiable under the name Fame Overkill (Laboga produces amps and the Music Store in Cologne sells them under their own label called Fame instead of Laboga) I heard it's a good amp that sounds like a dual recto, but it's not very versatile because of the few potis and no prescene controll, if this is no problem for you, it will be a very good amp, costs about 1000 euro in the music store I think.

I heard a few soundclips. Not really convincing, maybe because of the poor recording quality. On the other hand, Lost Soul has a wicked sound and they're supposedly using it...
But have a look here:

Funny is it?
Their V30 cabs are really cheap too.
EDIT: OOPS, StefTD was quicker

Yeah but we all know very well that bands endorsing products don't necessarily use them in the studio 
I'm wondering how their cabs hold against Mesa cabs...

I wonder the same about those:

I'll be able to tell in a few days...
Can you beleive it? 4xV30 in a plywood 16mm cab... That's cheaper than four V30 without the cab...

Ive actually had the honour of trying out a Mr Hector for a couple of hours.
Regardless of it's looks its more like a JCM900 than a high gain amp, no mater how I pushed it it wouldnt do the trick for me.
Another big minus in my book is that none of the features on the panel are footswitchable besides the channel switch...
Guess its a pretty descent rocknrollamp though.

No, the guy who imports Laboga here in Sweden didn't have one at home when I was at his place so I tried the head in his Orange 4*12 with V30's instead.

I bought a used Fame overkill (very good condition with 1 year warranty left) for 480 and I'm just blown away by it. A bit Recto-ish but with tighter mids.

I saw Behemoth last year with Gojira and JFAC - Seth was using a Mr. Hector and a blend of Krank and Laboga cabinets. 2nd best sound of the night, I'd say, only beaten by Nergal's Roadster.
they're fucking great imo! I'm buying the mr. hector head in two weeks or so when I get the money for the head. When we played in portugal, we used one at a gig and it was fucking brutal. Recto-ish growl but with a marshall-ish midrange I love. A tubescreamer is kinda a "must" with that head but hey, seems like it's a must with every tube amp...
and for the grind freaks here, it's fucking insane with hm-2 haha

Jeff Waters uses them now, there is a video somewhere of him with in the studio. I think the latest album was done with it.
