why don't more amps have this?

why don't more amps come with jumpable channels?

some of the most widely accepted best amps in history could do this - bassman, jtm45, plexi, all them

so why hasn't a 4 input amp been made in like 30 years?

Because channel switching and cascading gain arrived....

still doesn't sound the same

Re: why don't more amps have this?

I just answered why, but the sound is in the ear of the beholder. I kind of like the more modern amps over the older ones, a Stiletto will do a pretty nice Plexi sound with more tones with the stomp of a switch. Lots of amps these days will some great vintage sounds with more flexibility.

Most modern amps do not have much of an old sound at all...the 4 inputs or blendable inputs are way more flexible than a switch!

Another reason why everyone needs a VoxAC30CC.

You can jump channels with a Twin, or a Deluxe Reverb also. Primary reason is people prefer channel switching. I prefer using 2 amps. One for clean and one for dirty

Except for those of us who have an AC30.

Or a Hiwatt and a Vox plus a Carlsbro...or one amp with blendable bright and normal channels

Look at the volume setting on that poor, misused puppy of yours. :no:

Most people turn off the volume when they shut the amp down so they don't get a big suprise when they turn it on.

I practice at 5 and play around 7 on mine, but when it's off I make sure to set it to 0.


Also I believe most amps don't have the ability to be jumpered anymore because it's more effecient to stomp a footswitch.

 

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Re: why don't more amps have this?

No it is not effecient...it is convinient....like all the rest of these days...hehe
Now wonder though.
