I had the opportunity to play through a Shaker recently and holding it was
my primary complaint. I've been used to a JT-30 for so long, that's what
feels right. I didn't like the sound as much as the JT-30 either but that's
more of a personal taste thing.

What's the difference between an old JT-30, a new JT-30VC and a Blues
Blaster? Anybody know?
