Title: JTM45 or JTM50 for raw rock tones? Post by: AdrianJ on August 07, 2011, 05:51:20 PM Okay, so I'm rethinking my entire philosophy towards my guitar and amp set up...and moving back towards what I was using 5 years ago before I started chasing certain specific tones...
For some reason I find myself drawn to the JTM45. I have had chance to play through an original a few years ago and remember it as being an amazing amp for blues, but what I want to know is how they handle more rock tones? Think Bruce Springsteen type rawness with a Telecaster into the front end through a Tubescreamer. Easy enough to get? Or is a JTM50 a better option and will this still get the bluesy tones the JTM45 is famed for? Title: Re: JTM45 or JTM50 for raw rock tones?

If you put a master volume on it, you can really get some crunch out of it as well.
Hope this helps! Gregg |
