Hey guys, today's standard is just taking Django Reinhardt's "Blues en Mineur" from 1935 to show the difference of sound between 2 models "Mike", 2 Rythmchief 1000 and 1 Rythmchief 1100. It show that even 2 of the same model never sound exactly the same. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comment. I tend to think that "Mike" or "FHC" have a little less definition and sound bluesy and fat, when the rythm chiefs are a little brighter and more precise.
I'm playing a 1936 Gibson L12 that is X braced and has a 17 inches lower bout. I'll post AS81-2 doing the same test on the parallele braced 1936 Epiphone Deluxe to show the difference, since the acoustic guitar affects a lot the sound once plugged in. I tend to prefer the result on the Epiphone, you'll be able to compare in a few days.
The guitar is strung with Nickel strings gauge 12, is plugged in a Fender Princeton Reverb amp "drip edge" from 1968-69, i'm using a 1.5mm purple dunlop pick.
