SUHR HOMBRE VS RIFT BROWNFACE
Posted: Mon 10/07/24 2:12 am
Hey guys!
I currently own a Rift PR35 Brownface amp, but im curious how it compares to a Suhr Hombre.
The previous owner changed the original WGS G12C speaker for a Celestion Creamback on my amp.
1. Could they produce the same kind of overdrive when pushed? My Rift PR35 (with a 1/2 power switch down to 18w) stays pretty clean, and doesnt really go in to that creamy sweet overdrive.
2. How would the G12C sound different from the Creamback?
3. Found a used Hombre, would it make sense two have both or are they too similar?
