I could be wrong though.
Just get it.
This.
The Mother is based on the DR201 but has that awesome overdrive input that drives the amp in the almost indescribable way an Orange/Matamp overdrives. And the depth control is an F.A.C. as found on Matamps. The Hellhawk is mostly a Super Lead/Bass but to my ears the overdrive sounds more like a Laney with awesome Sabbath-esq power tube breakup.
This is great infos. Thanks.
I've been shopping around for something quad-kt88.
Old Hiwatts are always beat to shit for some reason.
Never could find one in decent shape. Because of that, I'd been eyeballing Verellen, Dunwich and a cloner from San Pedro. These Science guys have real competitive pricing.

Also the Mother's no nonsense bias monitoring and Science customer service being second to none virtually 24 hours a day is REALLY comforting. I can't say enough good things about Alex, he is the best.

Seriously. I live on the other side of the goddamn world and he still gets back to me asap with answers and options. Best amplifier I've ever owned. And I owned a JCM2550 that used to belong to Anthrax.
