Had fun making a clip today. Even broke out the Echoplex towards the end.

Shows the different ranges available with the guitars really well.

Which cab did you use?
I found the TAD (ie Mojo) BB cab too big - it was wider than my 4x12s!
I still have my golds.............. :wink:

Yes that's the one!

Sounded good but definitely needs a studio/home set up, as I found it more awkward than a head and 4x12 to gig with (or am I just too attached to having a half stack :whistle: )

It is big and kinda awkward. I'm with you on half stacks. So iconic.

The Tele sounded very nice. I thought it had a Billy Squier kind of spank to it. And, I'm sure the EchoPlex helped a bit. :mrgreen:

A few years ago now George built for my friend Darren a 1968 JMP Plexi 50 watt combo with two Golds and Sozos, ect.
It was an awesome sounding combo built on Marshall's 50 watt bass circuit ala Duane Allman,ect.
This 45 sounds killer as well!

I recorded clips of several caps in a 50 watt. I just need to edit them into a comparison clip. Maybe this weekend...
