@@AuntAlnico4 it's way cheaper to mass-manufacture from a huge inventory of all the same type parts, rather than hand picking to adjust for each amp build while throwing away the 30% of resistors etc that are out of spec. Fender's always made a point of frugality & using up every part lying around, regardless if it made the guitar or the particular amp better. The general designs were brilliant, but they (and Marshall) have always been more concerned with getting them out the door & having sales numbers. And Fender and Marshall have always been extremely easy to duplicate & market as 'always the same thing' even if some were less than perfect. I'm beginning to think some of these new "boutique" amplifiers are actually cheap from a price to value perspective. Exact opposite of Fender USA.

The major differences were caused by the availibility of parts in Europe vs the US. Marshall started trying to make a copy of the fender bassbreakers, but had to make a lot of changes because they couldn't get parts. This required progressively more design shifts until it became something totally unique
@PeterDad60 Жыл бұрын
@@matroid4996 How about telling us what is totally unique. Do you really know what the different parts are and how they differ? What exactly are you talking about? Everyone can grasp that England probably does not use or have available every kind of eclectic component exactly like the U.S. does. Components such as like transistors, capacitors, transformers and most importantly tubes. Yes in the beginning substitutes had to be made because of component availability in England. Still from what I understand the Original Marshalls were really close to being Bassmans. Over the years new Marshall amp models were introduced and then the schematics changes. As it stands my Fender Bassman has the same schematic as did my Marshall JTM45. That means there are not a lot of design changes and in truth the schematics are pretty much identical. - Peter age 73
@matroid4996 Жыл бұрын
@@PeterDad60 if you’re looking at JTMs and bassman’s, you wont find much of a difference. But don’t undersell the difference in the circuit caused by the tubes alone. I won’t get into it because I don’t feel like going through the math on why that effected downstream component choices so I’ll move on to the other major thing. In the US, higher voltage electrolytic capacitors were far more readily available up to around 600V. This lead Leo to design the bassman to use parallel reservoir banks with summed capacitance vs Marshall having to use series with summed working voltages to replicate how the fender rectifier tube could open and drive current faster at higher loads. Makes a bigger sound difference than you would think. They also tap the negative feedback at difference impedance values, with the JTM being higher

The point might be for the extra 10% IF you can get the clear gain where the tones sing without harsh harmonics - is recording .....and if the material your composition and playing and you want the singing gain with beautiful clear harmonics ..and even some complex chords with clear crunch sometimes..that's where the extra 10% comes in - recording . I associate the Dumble Clean like Fender with a bit more body and 'sing ' .And some of the Overdrive where it's almost Fender / Marshall with singing overdrive. Modern Santana has clearer harmonics in his OD - and I noticed that in the Rob Thomas thing - his OD tone has no fuzz at all - in the beginning - Santana had a little fuzz in his tone ...now clearer. So the clean gain of the CAE+ / Carlton / Ford and some of EJ and Bonamassa... The harmonics don't fight with each other - and I do hear that in the Amplified Nation stuff. Overdrive Reverb ...especially ...But I want to listen more to other demos ...I am interested in Recording so you hear everything ...as do the audience for the Music... a tone boost will not make it or break it but it might put it over the Top - IF it's good enough music. I need really clean for some of the chords but love singing OD ..with clear harmonics ...so these are very low noise - a possible BENEFIT of the new components ...I don't think everything was better long ago .
