I saw some older posts related to this but I wanted to get a pulse for how users feel about the Herbert vs. the Hagen in 2018.
I’ve been researching these 2 and watching clips. While I don’t have a chance to try them in person, I feel pretty confident either one of these would be a great amp for me.
I’m not strictly a metal player, more of a rock and hard rock guy. I play a Les Paul with passive hot PAF style pickups and a PRS CU24 with 85/15s. I want that gut punching power like a dual Rec or uber but a little tighter and also great clean and crunch. But heavy for me is probably like Alter Bridge on “Isolation” or Linkin Park’s early stuff. Maybe Godsmack. I don’t need to play Lamb of God, etc.
I know the Herbert is the heavier sounding amp and the choice for true metal players, but is at least one of the Hagen’s channels close?
