Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
Lew-
Would you be so kind to listen to this clip and describe the tone in your own words? I think it would be very interesting! I really enjoyed your NAMM reports. Thanks!

p.s. I think this would make some great "on-hold" music for Lew's Guitars.

Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
The 65's were the most intriguing and most talked about amps at NAMM. And like I said, they seemed capable of producing everything from blackface Fender tone to heavily overdriven tone...just based on what I heard coming from the booth. But most of the time I heard them being demoed the player was going for a heavily overdriven tone. Maybe not quite the Bagful of Angry Bumble Bees tone I heard almost everywhere else but still heavily overdriven.
It just seems to be what most of the guys dialed in most often.

Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
Lew,
the 65 Amps 'London' is like a cross between a Marshall 18 watt and a Vox AC 15. It has a solid bottom end, moreso than the newer handwired Marshall 18 watters I've heard.
What's cool is that it has that EL 84 crunch, with harmonics, and a solid bottom.
however, I think the model they were demoing at NAMM was the new 30 watt, EL 34 amp.

Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
I did. Nice amps. Kind of a rip off of Dumble's hard work but very nice amps. I guess I'm just getting tired of that buzzy overdriven tone...even when I hear Robben Ford or Larry Carlton (two of my favorite players) wailing through thier Dumbles, I wish they'd back off on the overdrive a bit. Just sounds so...generic! Lew

What amps did you like best at the show Curly? You saw and heard pretty much the same stuff I did! Lew

Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
that amp had 2 10s and a 12.
well, I liked the little Star Amp you played, partly because it sounded so much bigger than it was.
actually, I think there were so many amps I didn't hear... Fuchs, THD, VHT. I would've liked to check some of the Victorias - what little we heard of the Regal sounded pretty good, though.
there are just so many good amps these days, it's hard to keep up.

Re: Amplifiers at NAMM...
Well Curly...you KNOW what I think of Matchless amps: they're my favorites! I have two: a Chieftan and an SC-30. Guess I should've mentioned them right at the top of this thread. I guess I didn't because Mark Sampson isn't part of Matchless any more and I wish he was! Lew
