Re: [SurfGuitar101] 78 Silverface Twin vs. RI Blackface 65 Twin?

rock verb (mono_tones_1) - 05 Aug 2003 02:51:48

Hi Dave,
is the 135watt twin's OT actually the same as the 100W/85watt, but with more
taps?
what is the benifit of removing the master volume? Is that so much different
from just setting it to 10?
thanks,
Wannes
