Dan Chooses A New Amp For His Wet-Dry Rig [JTM45 Vs Tweed Bassman Vs Sovtek MIG-50]

He wants headroom and transients – which amp will Dan choose to pair with his Matchless?

Welcome to the show! This one came about because Dan is moving from a fully wet-dry-wet rig, back to a more ‘simple’ wet-dry situation. Albeit ‘TPS Wet-Dry’ we should say… but don’t get hung up on the definitions. It’s a two-amp rig where the fuzz, drive and distortion goes to both amps, and most of the ‘wet’ effects – reverb, delay, tremolo and so on – only go to one of the amps.
Dan’s Matchless C-30 / ESD212 cab has been his #1 amp choice for years now, but what to pair with it? Three contenders are lining up today; they have a closely shared genesis and evolution, so the comparison should be jolly interesting!

Argh! Bassman or Bass Breaker? I'm confused…
The amp we're using today is a Fender Custom Shop Bass Breaker from 2002. It has nothing to do with the current Bassbreaker series. Ours is a Fender ’59 Bassman amp, exactly as the reissues of the period, albeit in a 2x12 cabinet instead of a 4x10 configuration. We refer to it as a Bassman because that's what it is! Except it's called a Bass Breaker… argh!

Enjoy the show…
