[jakeste]

[BluesZep]

@jakeste

good for you

[foocheech]

thanks for posting! That's exactly the comparison I needed to hear. Tweed sounds better to me. Tweed is NOS, right?

[BluesZep]

@foocheech

Yes, the tweed one is NOS. Thanks for watching and comment!

[TheSmokingGuitar]

no comparison. tweed is just better

[Mark70609]

So if you swap amps with their cabs, does the findings remain the same?

I'm not sure the amps would sound the same anyway given the tolerances of all the components in the two amps.

Capacitors have a pretty wide tolerances 10% is quite normal for poly film caps.

Food for thought?

Tweed!!! Sounds much better!

[pleximanic1]

Is the cabinet solid pine like the original deluxe?

[kloijhi]

Hi, great comparition ! ty

The jensen seems have more volume and a more 'open' sound.

But I have a question : Does the jensen crunch 'before' of the eminence or at the same settings they have both the same clean?

by the way in arpeggio mode I like more the Jensen but in th end section of your

video , when you works on single note, the 2 speakers have a very different sound, and sometimes I like more the eminence.I think I have to play for some hour with both to choose the one
