Hermansson 5GS Marshall Advice

I've seen a handful of here's my Hermansson videos but are there any out there that compare each switch in detail?
No. Plus i still did not find a Clip that really convinced me. Brams Clip was the best so far and he had all switches "off" i think. Whatever "Off" means. Stock? IDK. In the meantime i'm looking forward to my Marshall Eddy's gonna mod for me.
 
I was fortunate enough to own a 5 gain stage Marshall and play 2 other 5 gain stage modded marshalls with all the options. Absolutely killer amps but in the end I’m much happier with his recto mod. Simple, to the point and sounds insane. The Marshalls are great though, just wasn’t for me… I was constantly messing with all the switches and never could find the sweet spot. It really excelled at the super down-tuned thing. Which is great but I don’t have any business going below d standard 😂

Yeah, would need Henric to confirm if in the middle position it means off. I’m unsure about this.



This was the clip. I really need to do a low tuned one, was planning on it this last set of days off but got busy with a bunch of shit around the house.

I’m the exact opposite lol. Had a recto…. Did not like it. Got my Marshall. Love it.

110% agreed! Had 1 Marshall 5GS, tried 2 others, had 1 Carsbro 5GS and much preferred the 3 Recto mods I had, still have my Triple Rev F he modded (best one I've tried so far). I think the problem is guys are trying to make them sound like Recto's and they're just not that at all. Dial it in like a Recto and you get a not as good recto lol, but dial it in like a Hermansson and you get something great an unique that I felt was a similar sound to the 5GS's, but with a lot more character and thickness. They all do the crazy tight, attack-y, clanky thing Hermansson's do like no other, but I found the Marshall 5GS's to sound smoother (too smooth) and bland. All of them are super hollow sounding, but it just imo fits better on the Recto's as platforms
 
Optimus Prime, where do you normally have set your switches, Sir? What is supposed to be "stock", aka no switches at all?

My settings are extreme but I use a right gate. With Koko boost v1
 
Regarding the switches: Did you decide yet?
If not, a burpsnart might be relaxing.


lol I declined the burpsnart and opted for them all @OldGtrGuy ....couldnt decide so opted for all...thats how you get the chicks right?

lol...the only thing I'm going to end up with is a bunch of hairy dudes on the internet staring at pictures of my amp :hys:
