lol...."my VT15 sounds just like it!" ....lol....maybe on YouTube....via some crappy speakers.....but, not in real life. Not by a mile! Tone is only half the issue when it comes to amps.....the way they react to touch is the other thing. Something that inexperienced players just don't understand. Trust me here folks....if you're wanting to become a better player get a RAW, basic tube amp. You'll sound like shit for a while....but you WILL improve in ways you just can't with ANYTHING else. IMHO

Thank you for a good demonstration on how a Tweed deluxe actually sounds. Every clip on youtube is done through bad PC/camera mics that are clipping and shoud like shit.

@58TweedDeluxe I'll check it in youtube. I believe you need 6L6 to get the Knophler sound. My DuoTone has chameleon versatility. Keep in mind that it is not just a copy of the tweed Deluxe, it has the best elements from the Deluxe, Pro and Twin. Add the Major-Minor switch choses from push pull output of 2 tubes option to a single ended (Champ) with half output and warmer sound. Finally the output character switch gets you to Twang,acoustic or the Warm option with rich low end.

wich of the inputs was used?

@ChienAndalousia I'd like to add...though this vid and discussion are about amps. My main mind-set here is more about purity. (effects) learning to play without them. NOT making "your tone" one that is masked over...is really the biggest thing. If you learn to play without them...and use them for "color"....you will develop faster. Same with the simple tube amp discussion. I'm not saying you can't get good another way. But it will make you hear things sooner and thus probably mature quicker.

@ChienAndalousia sure a descent player will sound good on anything. A simple tube amp doesn't mask your imperfections. This DOES force you to focus on your touch and tone more. It helps your articulation and makes you a cleaner player. Plain and simple. Most experience players know this. I've used MG-15 for teaching a lot. And yes, they work...but they're a VERY easy amp to play. And the road less challenged....is the road less gained. Not really "MY" opinion. Pretty much the consensus.

@WarBeer Hopefully, this is only your humble opinion...
There's absolutely no link between getting a "better player" (what does "better" mean ?) and getting a "raw, basic tube amp". I think inexperienced players, as you call them, don't care about the amp they play...and I sometimes wish I was still like 'em. Some people can rock the shit out of a MG15...And that, "experienced players" can't understand. Always remember that the audience just don't care about what amp you're using...

@WarBeer Coughing up the cash is my main problem. But I totally agree!
Nice sound. Check my videos of my DuoTone amps that are a tweed and a blackface Deluxe in one amp plus some more modsand tweaks. It takes 6v6s or 6L6s.Also check the Pure Tone page in Facebook for more info and pics. Thank you.

@PureToneAmps To be honest the next best thing to either a true vintage 65 Deluxe Reverb or 5e3 Tweed, is a 'Tone King' Imperial or Metropolitan... good enough for Mark Knopfler et al...
