I recognise Cotton's tone through the amp, which is a little different to what you asked. It's a blonde, early 60's Fender Twin. ---------- www.myspace.com/markburness
I was trying to make out the name on an amp you can see behind him,is that what your basing your answer on,or can you close your eyes and hear an actual blonde early 60'sFender Twin.
Looks like only 565 or so of the blond Fender twin amps were made,if wanting one,get your solder gun a cookn!Hope he owns that amp and when you see him next this is what you hear.He still has it,actually never lost it,only proves chops + equipment go hand in hand.
@Harponica "I was trying to make out the name on an amp you can see behind him,is that what your basing your answer on,or can you close your eyes and hear an actual blonde early 60'sFender Twin." Ha Ha, you credit me with skills that no known person has ever developed! It's a Fender Twin because that's what it is (I recognise Cotton's sound coming out of it, but not "a blonde twin" sound...that's a very rare thing, so few people would have such a datum to refer to, however my own SF Twin is rewired to early 60's circuitry, less vibrato). The guys on that stage have access to & own some pretty cool amps, may be Cotton's but could equally belong to Omar or Jimmy.
@ Hawkeye - Tubes don't sound any one way, they only make sound in a circuit connected to speakers...if you were very familiar with one amp (one specific amp, not an amp model) and you did a lot of listening tests you might guess right most of the time, if those tubes were biased as you expect...I have amps that will take any octal tube from 6V6 to KT90 - circuitry and speakers account for the vast majority of the sound, power tubes mainly determine at what db things start to fall apart - run them all within their limits and you are screwed. Trouble is most amps can't run a range of tubes efficiently, so comparisons get skewed. ---------- www.myspace.com/markburness
