This here is what dreams are made of: A 1962 Marshall JTM45 Bluesbreaker Combo. This is the producer of Clapton's famous "Woman Tone". It also helps to have a Les Paul going through it with a tone bender and a wah wah. Now, this is my fantasy: To have my dream gal sitting on my amp while I play something with low resonant notes. That's woman tone!
This is one of my next projects: To clone a Woman! I will not do a combo, but a head. To have head or a combo? Maybe I should do both.
Two of these, KT66's, give out fat hairy tone, not quite the Marshall crunch yet, but close--more like rolling thunder, early AC/DC. The "Crunch" came along with their 100 watt Plexi Superlead, sporting four EL34's and a hotter front end. That's Jimi Hendrix's baby.
I don't apologize for my inner geek.

Say, where does the soda come out?
You know, I think you can just buy some amps at Sam's Club.
:p
Did I just make you cry like a baby?
~True, G-Hobbs. Plus, you already know that Marshall is from your side of the pond. Although, Marshall pretty much did rip off the '58 Fender Bassman to produce this amp;) It does sound different, though.
Chris~Yeah, I love old tubes that look like coke bottles. Not to mention the jump to "Cream" soda. Hey, we are talking about Eric Clapton.
Logo~your "knock" only makes me laugh a hearty laugh. There will never be any amplifier worthy of my guitars that comes from Sam's Club. There is not even any comparison.
