emmanuel0866 « Must! »
Published on 05/30/10 at 12:55Tube guitar combo (GT6L6) hand-wired, 40 watts, 2x12 "Fender Ted Weber / Eminence, 2 channels.
Developed from an original 1957 Twin borrowed from a collector,
UTILIZATION
This amp is characterized by its simple design: no frills and unnecessary settings, no manual is necessary to take a good slap.
SOUNDS
I use it with a Nocaster 51, CS, Masterbuilt Start and in both cases it is a delight.
I plug a Gibson also Byrdland and I think of all the amps I could marry this guitar is the one who most sublime.
Playing the guitar volume, it easily passes a beautiful crystal clear to a big crunch.
OVERALL OPINION
I spent my last 3 years to buy and sell all the most famous amps, seeking the best possible result for the guitars mentioned above. Result, in my opinion nothing beats a good and a good Fender Vox (60s, or JMI) at least for the music I like (blues, rock, alternative).
The Vibroking is perhaps the ultimate reference Fender but it is very powerful, making it almost unusable except on stage.
In contrast, the 57 has clear sound fabulous even at relatively low volumes. It washables no aggression. We must push a little to get a big crunch, but as he happily welcomes any pedal worthy of the name, this is not a defect.
It is expensive in absolute terms (paid nearly 3,000 euros and is found today around 2600 euros on some sites) but you will not regret this madness.
