Mack Skyraider + Hagstrom Swede
I managed to sneak in a quickie demo after work yesterday...
I used an Avatar 2x12 cabinet with Eminence Wizard speakers. The only effect used was a Strymon blueSky Reverberator pedal. I used a Canon Vixia HG-20 camcorder with a Canon DM-100 shotgun microphone for the audio. No post processing was done. Oh, and I used Mogami 2524 guitar cable.

Very nice, gotta ask even if a little off topic. How you like that Swede? I almost bought one it was a beautiful white finish. They wanted $600 new for it and I thought I heard a short in the top toggle. They wasnt sure if it was the switch or the tone selector. Told me if I bought it they'd take a closer look and fix it if it was. Seemed to me they should of in the first place so I left it. They said they would be getting a new shipment of Hag's around X-mas so who knows maybe Santa will bring me one or a viking.

The Skyraider SR-15 features a 12AX7 tube operating in a parallel triode configuration for the preamp.
Running the dual triode sections of the 12AX7 in parallel produces higher gain than a single section and lower noise than cascading one section into the other. It also produces very warm tube tone.
Another 12AX7 serves as the phase inverter and two 6V6s make up the power amplifier producing about 15 watts of power.
---------
The Heatseeker HS-18 features the same things, but two EL84s make up the power amplifier producing about 18 watts of power.

Nice. I liked some of the gain-ier tones you were getting out of that. Good stuff!

First of all, those HBs in the Swede are paring decently with the Mack. The sound is sweet and mello but does not lack higher frequenzies at all. I like the "bonedry" touch the amph has in the clean mode. The burn and melt modes are cascading very proportional adding the edge you expect from the name giving. I'd like to hear that clean mode with the Swede in neck position, tone totally backed, playing some jazzy stuff...could imagine that sounds very convincing.

Super nice demo, Robert.
The amph sounds great, and so does your playing!
I really liked the fact you just played, showing the settings w/ text. Nicely done!
(I don't care for alot of the videos out there where every knob, feature, effect, pickup change, string gauge, etc. is detailed, w/ the end result being a half-minute of actual playing.)

I threw on a set of headphones to listen to the clip, and that sounds REALLY nice. Great tasty licks too, as always.
What do your ears hear in terms of tone and "feel"?
If you could have just one or the other, which would you choose?
