Silver face
Twin
Round & clear with lots of mid coloration
Black face
Twin
Round & clear with more clarity and a bit
More Presence and drive.
Tweed Bassman/
early 60’s Plexi
Lots of clarity rock tone, cleans up well by
turning down guitar volume, starts to grind.
Late 60’s
Plexi
More grind, more upper midrange drive,
Makes Humbuckers more clear sounding.
Vox AC30
Brilliant highs, cleans up great, warms up
a lot as gain increases, cool sounding Mids.
(Sweep Master Treble, Mid, and Bass to taste.)
Note:
On the Vox setting you can see the differences with using the master tone controls. Some
people think it sounds more like an AC30 with the Mids cut and the highs and lows boosted a
little, but I sometimes like the opposite settings. You have to decide for yourself, it matters if
your playing clean or dirty, loud or quiet, etc.
