Re: [Harp-L] Audix Fireball (V) vs Blues Blaster



I'd think a more plausible reason for identical models of vintage amps having different sounds would be the definition of vintage. Even stretching vintage to include 60's amplifiers all of these amps are now approaching at least 50 years old. Factor in that a lot of the preferred harmonica amps were relatively inexpensive models like the Kalamazoos and it's not much of a jump to figure that component values will have drifted. Even with relatively expensive amplifiers like the Fenders the state of the are regarding critical parts like capacitors and resistors has changed considerably. I'd imagine that when these amplifiers were new they were more similarly voiced than they are now. Repairs and replaced speakers would also be a reason the amplifiers tonal characteristics have drifted. Even aged speakers would make a difference. fjm
