What do cranked vintage amps actually sound like? We’re about to find out…

Welcome to the show. What is the overdrive sound of the classic guitar amps in history? Well, we have three such beasts today to plug in and find out.

The amps are…
• 1956 5E6 Fender Bassman [ Ссылка ]
• 1961 Vox AC30 Top Boost
• 1974 Marshall Super Bass 100 [ Ссылка ]

Needless to say, there are NO PEDALS in the first part of the video, only a Three2One by TheGigRig to switch between the guitars.

Once we’ve cranked ‘em all to maximum, we then add a few pedals and find out if they’re actually usable in today’s world.
Enjoy the show!

Big thanks to ATB Guitars and Overdrive Guitars for the amp loans!
