A viewer, by the name of Susan, commented on my Joyo Zombie take 2 video, asking about the difference between the Zombie and the Hotone micro amps. So I decided to make a quick little demo of the Hotone Heart Attack Micro Head using the exact same settings from the Zombie video. The Precision Drive (on all the time) from Horizon Devices is set the exact same, as well as the settings on Impulsive by 3 Sigma Audio (single Ola Englund IR). Again, I'm playing "The Deceived" by Trivium.

After comparing the 2 amps, I noticed a significant shift in the mid range voicing between the 2. I also noticed that the Heart Attack, although having arguably more gain than the Joyo Zombie, is much more "squishy". The low end is much looser EVEN WITH the Precision Drive engaged, however for the sake of comparison I did NOT adjust the PD's settings to compensate. Even without the PD on, the Heart Attack is a very "small" sounding head. Where the Zombie is indeed a little bigger in physical size, it's tone has more dynamic range compared to the Heart Attack.

That being said, check out this video from Lasse Lammert getting a pretty ridiculous mic'd capture of the Heart Attack using a 2 4x12 cabs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEvsz5WQfbg

As a buyer, for the current difference of $30, the Zombie, in my opinion, is the better option. It just offers more. BUT I've been using the Heart Attack as a power amp for my Line 6 Helix for over a year and it's awesome for that. So if you need a smaller pedalboard mounted power amp for your modeler, I'd consider the Heart Attack for that instead of your rig's main tone source.

Thanks for watchin!
