I ordered one back in March off Reverb. Hot a message today saying they'd send me tracking info in 2 days. Hopefully I get it soon. I've wanted for 8 years now, ever since I used it on tour in Europe, my Austrian friends had one. I'm so anxious to get it in my hands.
Dude, i have just bought a Laboga Mr. Hector and it slays man! it has that Recto-ish type of tone, but is a little bit more tighter in the tone. Lots of bang for the buck!
Dude! Love your channel man! Dude you make me laugh man! I switched out all kinds of things in my rig: all kinds of different tubes, all kinds of pickups, strings, guitar nuts, pedals of all kinds, electronics in my guitars and amps...but what I did notice that made a huge difference in tone is when I messed around with speakers. I like celestion v30s, but I freaking love eminence CV-75s, EV12Ls, and Celestion G12H-75 Creambacks!
Hahaha! I'm so glad I make you laugh! To me, that's everything!! Whoa, why do I think I have a creamback too? Now you've got me all wanting to swap things around! Haha! Why do I think the creamback I have may be a 25 watt and not a 75w. Aaahhhh!!!!! Hahaha! Time to open this puppy up!!!! Lol. You're the best, bro!!!
No way! Send me a link to your band so I can hear what it sounds like. I've never recorded with my Mr Hector! : ) I'm glad you've been using it for years! It's my favorite amp that I own, and Eryk is one of the nicest guys! Virus of Koch, got it!!!!
@@louistorres can you check at my bandcamp my latest upload like Agos aonian Invocation and irkalla transcendence album virusofkoch.bandcamp.com/album/irkalla-transcendence
So no mic'ing of a cabinet! I got it! Hey, you're in Greece! I know it's late there but do you have any size Large t shirts? I was about to order one and figured I'd ask first. :) Are you Jon K on Instagram?
Yes! Totally without a boost! The only closest head I have is the Satan and this is better!! Crazy tones from this thing and after chatting with Eryk Laboga, they're going to have a new US distributor who's taking on their amps to sell. This thing is crazy and it's one of two heads one dreamt of having one day, since they're really hard to find stateside. The other is a Soldano, but those are a WEE bit pricier! :)
Would it be good for old school thrash or just newer metal tone? You sound like you've got it dialed in Rust in Peace era tone. Sounds good on youtube.
Hell yes! I want that fucking amp! I saw a video of John Browne playing through it and I fell in love with it. Now here you come making me want that bad ass thing even more!! Thanks Louis 😂
Did you get this from reverb from water wheel guitars? Thats where i got mine and was going to get a second one because he had 2 and a few days ago it Wasnt there any more😞 i love mine and it took me 7 years to find one in the usa. They are killer amps
Oh shit!! Yeah!! He mentioned that the guy who bought one of them also wanted the other!! Yes, I bought it from John! What a really nice guy! I drove about 2 hours south, while he drove one our north to meet with me! Glad you got the other one, brother! It's a MONSTER!! Holy smoke!!!!
Holy smoke! It took SEVEN YEARS!!!! A few months ago, I almost bought Jake Pitts' White Laboga but we dickered a bit and never managed to close on a number. :)
I'll even add the Randall Satan to that list with the Mesa + 5150. Just one big frolicking orgy and out pops Mr Hector! Hahaha! Yes, I agree with you that it's a smooth combination between all these heads.
Hahaha! It's such a sick amp and the only bad thing is how they're hard to find in the US. I think they would ruin Mesa on the heavy amp end, since Randall is basically closing shop.
Yeah it’s a shame they are so rare! You might have to go the synergy way , and get a Salvation “Mr Boga ” module ruclips.net/video/M6FRhKbjJh4/видео.html
Bad ass dude. I’m going to have to unsubscribe from your channel cause everything you do reviews on,, I want to buy. Lmao jk great review again man keep them coming and now time to search for a Laboga🤘🏻🎸
Hahaha! Trust that understand! I need to stop browsing!!!! Lol! But if you find a Mr Hector, you should totally get one! I'm now thinking of amps I need to get rid of, the Laboga is that great of an amp!
Hey brother, if there's one thing I've mentioned from time to time is that I never bother with the clean channel. Some guys love to feature it on their amps but I never use the clean channel on any of mine. To this day, I still don't know what most of my amps sound like in the clean setting. It's not something I ever use, so I don't bother with it BUT there are about thirteen videos you can watch that showcase the clean channel of the LaBoga Mr. Hector that you can watch. I know you feel that everyone should show the versatility of an amp but I would be wasting time since most guys who watch and follow my channel never use it. In all these years, you're actually the ONLY person who's ever asked me to use the clean channel. : )
Where in God's green earth do you find these things? Laboga amps are absolutely wonderful, and yet they are as obscure and hard to find as they get. Don't they want to sell these things? Never heard of this amp before. Made me feel a little glimmer of hope, now that the Randall Satan is out of production. Damn them! - The suits at Randall are going to hell. There's no doubt. And they're going to to have to explain to the real Satan about that one time that they closed shop on the one amp they had named after him. Not good. They'll get what they deserve. Anyway, we got to find current heads that meet the same mark. This is one of them. Monster tone. Can't see how this can't be a flagship tone for any metal band.
Scott, you're right that this amp should be pushed by so many guitarists, due to its sheer brutal tones. This one was being sold on Reverb by a fusion guitarist in Pennsylvania who owned a guitar shop. Before I jumped into buying it, I watched every video with someone using a Laboga Duo Master then accepted the fact that I NEEDED to own it. Hahaha! It's crazy how there aren't many in the United States but the MSRP + $150 Shipping and 25% tax brings it to roughly $1,800 new when one can buy a used/ mint condition Randall Satan for $1,100 and not have to worry about the head arriving intact from Poland. At the moment, this Laboga has dethroned my Satan, as crazy as that sounds! With two rectifier tubes pushing the brutal tones, it's the best head I've ever owned, with the Satan being very a close second. :) Scott, if you ever get the chance to buy one, get it! You'll love it!
Wish you can get a drop tune pitch shifter(Digitech makes a great one)so you can go through different tunings with all the sweet ass amps you demo. \m/ \m/
If I had to sell all my amps and keep two, they would be my Triple Rectifier and my Mr Hector. They're both different but perfect in their own right. Funny enough, I was just chatting with Eryk Laboga yesterday! He's seriously a nice guy!
@@louistorres I play in drop g so this amp would be super rad to own. Unfortunately I'm a broke mfer. definitely considering the mt15. Thanks for the reply man I love your vids. Been watching you for a while but just recently subrscribed
@@billyturk8117 thank you for subscribing, brother! I appreciate that and yeah, the MT15 is a beast! They're making an MT100!!! All this new gear coming out! I need to plan a few bank heists for 2020!! Hahaha!

Fuck yeah you make me laugh man, you seem to me like an old buddy that I grew up with. Thrash Buddy’s! \m/
Could you do a comparison video of this and that Dual Rec? I've always wondered what they'd sound like side by side
I take requests from subscribers, but just in case, I went through all for channels and I'm not on the list. There's that.
I have this beast almost 10 years all my albums recorded with Mr. Hector! Perfect Hi gain amp!
No way! Send me a link to your band so I can hear what it sounds like. I've never recorded with my Mr Hector! : ) I'm glad you've been using it for years! It's my favorite amp that I own, and Eryk is one of the nicest guys! Virus of Koch, got it!!!!

I'll check right now! Thank you!! I just subscribed to your channel!! Great engineering!!!!
@@louistorres thanks man for recordings use load box with impulses response to get the this tone!
So no mic'ing of a cabinet! I got it! Hey, you're in Greece! I know it's late there but do you have any size Large t shirts? I was about to order one and figured I'd ask first. :) Are you Jon K on Instagram?
That is a super awesome head man. Pretty brutal. Was that without boost too?
Yes! Totally without a boost! The only closest head I have is the Satan and this is better!!

Would it be good for old school thrash or just newer metal tone? You sound like you've got it dialed in Rust in Peace era tone. Sounds good on youtube.
Bro, it's really diverse and it does old school Megadeth and new Misha/ Tosin without a doubt.
Hell yes! I want that fucking amp! I saw a video of John Browne playing through it and I fell in love with it. Now here you come making me want that bad ass thing even more!! Thanks Louis 😂
Super! Can it sound clean also?
I think so, I never use the clean in any of my amps. :)
@@louistorres masssive tone
Are you still digging this amps??
Yes! Love it! I've actually been using it the last five days
@@louistorres Thanks man!! I think I am gonna grab this amp.
Hi!. Would you then recommend this amp for a brutal death metal band?. The guy is asking 600€ (more or less $) in mint condition. Many thanks!
Oooh damn nice sounds brutal! That does seem so quiet for a high gain amp
It's the first thing I noticed! Very quiet, considering how much gain it pushes.
I always go 100! Not that much of a volume difference. So is Mr Hector replacing the Satan yet?
Did you get this from reverb from water wheel guitars? Thats where i got mine and was going to get a second one because he had 2 and a few days ago it Wasnt there any more😞 i love mine and it took me 7 years to find one in the usa. They are killer amps

sounds like a really good hi quality amp
Sounds Killer 🤘😎🤘
I’ve heard people say these are what you’d get if a Mesa and a 5150 had a baby. I believe it. Sounds insane
I'll even add the Randall Satan to that list with the Mesa + 5150. Just one big frolicking orgy and out pops Mr Hector! Hahaha! Yes, I agree with you that it's a smooth combination between all these heads.
Yeah boi , king of the kill!!!

I turning into Faux Louis Torres, I bought 4 amps in the last 3 days, including a Laboga The Beast Plus.
Does it run on EL34"s or 6L6's?
6L6. Four of them.
Hi,you didn't put it on clean and how does it sound on clean it's very important just to show the versatility on every amp I Guess!!
It's sounds great on drive mode but I always try to reach out extras,thank you.

Would you use the 33 with this amp?
It doesn't need it but I'm sure with a little tweaking of the amp, it'll work with the 33. :)
@@louistorres I gotta agree with you on this one tho
Sounds badass!!!!
Man, it's too bad these are made in Europe bc I'm certain EVERYONE would buy one here!

@@louistorres yes you can DigiTech makes one with a built-in whammy pedal combined.
Cheers from Poland ;D
Hahahah!!! Poland!! How awesome!! And I LOVE this Laboga amp!!!!
@@louistorres Channel regular for a long time bro :)
So it's a keeper then?
Omg, YES! Such a great amp!

Sounds absolutely satanic, love it!
It's incredible and super quiet too! That's the best part, I think. Most of my amps need my noise gate cranked but not this head!
Sounds sick as fuck !!
