Thinking about hitting Alex up for either a Hellhawk or Mother. Anyone have clips of either in a doomier context?

Thanks!

Alex sold me on a Mother in an email, so that might be happening in the near future.

Gigged the Shiv today, and I'm beyond blown away. It's perfect. I can get every single tone in the entire world that I could ever want out of this thing. I used to hate amp gain until I played this head. Usually all of the amps that I've used that have had gainy characteristics have ended up fizzy sounding, or super scooped, or just lacking of character and life. But the Shiv is extremely dynamic. I've got the clean channel set up to be right on the edge of breakup, so when I play softly it's clean, but then if I really dig in it starts to break up. The dirty channel is set to have a decent amount of gain, but nothing that feedbacks or gets super crazy. Just a decent gain. I've got the Absence control rolled all the way down to roll off what normally would be shrill or fizzy sounding gain. I love that control. It's so useful. Hit either channel with my Klone and it's just MORE. Sends the clean channel it a nice overdrive, and sends the gain channel into a little bit of feedback/extra thick gain. I love it.

Ok, that's it. I'm getting a Sister.

"The SISTER, and is 100W (50W switchable) 2 channel version of the Mother. Each channel has it's own dedicated Gain and Master Volume, and the Treble, Mid, Bass and Presence Controls are shared. This model also has the addition of a Resonance control to tailor the power amp's low end response. The Depth control is dedicated to just the Overdrive channel to provide some EQ independence between channels. The amp also has a pedal-friendly tube-buffered FX loop, and can accommodate 6L6, EL34, or KT88 power tubes."
