Whats the difference between these anniversary heads and what are they worth? I know these came in blue and black tolex but I dont know the difference otherwise. Does anyone know the difference in specs? tubes, what they're worth, tones etc...??

 

Thanks

i've got a 6100 with el34's and 6100LM with 5881's.

the only difference apart from the power section is that the LM's lead channel has more gain. a lot more gain. it sounds great for solo playing, but for rhythm stuff it can get a bit muddy. the non LM lead channel is a lot better in my opinion. still a lot of gain, but more usable. i prefer the 5881 power section though.

either way, fantastic amps. and the midi is a godsend.

make sure you get the footswitch with it though, they're really hard to find and cost a fortune to replace.
