I'm only 19 and I always hear about how the originals are much better than the reissues. I played a reissue and was very impressed but I've never played one of the original blackfaces from the 60s. Can anyone shed light on this. I know there is a tendency to assume the old stuff is better but without bias, how does this reissue (in its stock form) stack up against the originals?

@elviscash56 - I appreciate your post. To say vintage is always "better" compared to a reissue depends on a number of factors, most of which is personal taste. I can tell you one thing tho, original vintage gear is EXPEN$IVE! Their value has to do with the old adage: "They just don’t build them like they used to." Old amps used to be hand-wired with point-to-point wiring techniques, which is too slow & costly a process to maintain these days. Go with what you like & can afford!

Great chops Garry. Love the tone.

@fIRsTRATmAN - Thanx mate. Yes, "It's getting better all the time" :)

Hey 19...to answer your question about how this re-issue stacks up against the original....I've played thru an original and I own the re-issue. While there is a difference in the tone, it is very similar. To me the re-issue channel 2 is a bit brighter than the original. The low end on the original also seems a bit deeper, tighter and more dynamic. But over all, I'm not sure I'd pay the price for the original....when you can get this close for less than a grand. My 2 cents.

Thanx mate! I appreciate your comment. I have settled on a really nice fat sparkling tone on both channels, which suits both the Maton TE-1 accoustic & Gibson ES-335

Bass -5-

Treble -5-

Reverb -2.5-

I use an AB-switch to go from either channel for rhythm or lead. I also use a couple of effect pedals:

(1) TU-3 Boss Chromatic Tuner

(2) BD-2 Boss Blues Driver

(3) DD-3 Boss Digital Delay
