I have always wanted to do this!!!....
Clips T1 -T4 have been recorded on either a Metro JTM45/100 w/Shugangs or a REAL 1966 JTM45/100 with REAL GECS... Which amp goes with which clip? FWIW... T2 is accidentally a tad louder than T1... No eq, no effects, same amp settings, mic did not move... just the raw tracks... posted for tonal purposes not playing accuracy!! I couldn't figure out how to use the metronome feature!

you got me. All the same amp?
T4 sounds a hair dirtier. I like that one the best

I'll play.

T1 - Vintage
T2 - Metro
T3 - Vintage
T4 - Metro

The even numbered tracks sound a bit brighter to me. I'm probably 0/4 though.

You are not 0/4 and you are not 4/4!!!

You are not 0/4 and you are not 4/4!!!

That's a relief. I'm at least in the ballpark. Looking forward to the big reveal!

T1 Metro
T2 45
T3 45
T4 Metro

Either 100% right or 100% wrong (i hope)

Great comparison, mikey!

Well, which is which? I'm not even gonna guess!
(Mighty handsome mug shot, btw. )

I may have an unfair advantage, since the real one is my '66. I know the tone of that amp inside and out.

T2 and 3 are the original 45/100. T1 and 4 are Mike's 45/100 build.

The real one has more low end roll off and dryer mids. The build sounds ever so slightly scooped by comparison.

Both are such fantastic sounding amplifiers, it's hard to listen to the clips and not chill out. I felt myself getting into the tone and forgetting about listening for differences!

You had to go and ruin all the fun didn't you George!! George is spot on!

[VelvetGeorge]

Sorry.

Timinator actually nailed it before I posted. Great clips Mike!
