Went to a local music store yesterday and played a pre-CBS 1965 blackface Fender Bassman head/cab and was absolutely floored. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of playing through countless boutique amps, and many of them have sounded amazing.
But this was different. It's difficult to explain, but there was something so raw and real about the sound. The cleans were crystal clear with the most chimey highs and rich lows I'd ever heard come out of an amp. When pushed, the amp did this super creamy smooth breakup that I did not expect at all! The moment I plugged in my strat and strummed one chord, I had a crowd around me commenting on the tone.
Needless to say, I bought the amp on the spot. I guess there are certain things that just don't need to be changed...
