Members SteveVHT Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by carlygtr56 Pure tone? I don't think so. Less wiring/knobs/features/bs = better tone Point me to the channel switcher that sounds like Humble Pie at the Fillmore..... The Who- Live at Leeds....I can name dozens....aint happening And that is the exact reason why amps have evolved.... No one wants those sounds except a few..... Now tell me how amazing Hendrix's tone was...A cranked noisy Marshall with a noisy fuzz box, noisy wah and a noisy vibe.... But he had great tone......LOL I can make any of the pasts tones with many of my amps...I just choose to dial them in the way I like them and so that they sound good...:D:D JMHO Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cibyl Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by SKYNETRP One more thing....if you took the best amp out there today built with PCB, and rewired them PTP (if that is possible), it would sound even better. Ok,..how exactly do you know that to be true? How can making a PCB into a PTP make the amp sound better? Please explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Savage Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by Duesentrieb Was he a left hander? I don't know, but I guess I should look into it because if he was, I'll have to do the left hand mod on the amp or it won't sound right... I mean, left.

Members Duesentrieb Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 You have to add a switch for those right handers who buy a lefty axe and wire the strings upside down and flip the bridge pup for this extra-hype, Bob.

Members carlygtr56 Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by Duesentrieb I'm asking myself if those millions of pedals in front of PTP Plexi-Clones are PTP too You're pretty funny. We should all take note what YOU do I guess? Especially after that groundbreaking demo of your tone video. Pedals in front of any amp, PTP or otherwise has always been a viable way to play. Some of the tones that made history, were on classic albums, etc, were made this way. Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Page, Iommi, yeah, they were wrong?

Members CatsGoMoo Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Originally posted by carlygtr56 Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Page, Iommi, yeah, they were wrong? Eh, bear in mind that PCB technology in amps didn't even become prevalent until after these guys made their mark. I have a feeling that they would have sounded just as amazing no matter what amps they were playing. Plus, last time I saw Jeff Beck he was using a TSL100, and his tone was awesome.

Especially after that groundbreaking demo of your tone video. Thank you sooooooo much. I'm so proud that I recorded myself and posted myself a video of my playing with exceptional sounds. I only forgot to see the hairstylist before, sorry. Originally posted by carlygtr56 Pedals in front of any amp, PTP or otherwise has always been a viable way to play. Some of the tones that made history, were on classic albums, etc, were made this way. That was completely new to me. I grew up with midi and Diezels, you know . . . Originally posted by carlygtr56 Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Page, Iommi, yeah, they were wrong? Wow, never heard of them. Do they rate Diezels as "cumpoters" too - or do they know the difference between multichannel amps with superior technology and single channel Plexi clones? Makes me wonder why Beck prefers a DSL - is that a PTP amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Savage Posted April 13, 2006 Members Share Posted April 13, 2006 Guys, listen to Carly, he knows about "good" tone from the 60's and 70's, after which, the era of "good" tone ended except for those still striving for the tone of players 35 years ago.

There are no amps made today that compare to old ones?????? :freak: Come on Carl..... Todays amps are better, more reliable, and can get the exact tones of yesteryear and then some.... All those players were great players....which once again proves the fact that alot of players tones are in their hands, not in their gear...
