SO ~ what gives an AMP it's character or tone ???

Any more for any more ?  or should that be "with any more" ~ advice, understanding and insights that is.

Thanks for your previous posts @jpfamps and @ICBM.

This makes a great opportunity to enlighten us as to what design choices actually sound like.

And that has to be a good thing where future customers are concerned, easing the translation from the sound in a guitarists head, through the specification, design and modification or build phases, and then into a happy customers.

"An educated customer is a happy customer" ~ or am I deluding myself again...

Can I also add my thanks to the contributors on a very interesting well thought out thread
Amp manufacturers have earned their shameless plugs I think and the other contributors are very generous with their time and knowledge

It's worth knowing that it's appreciated

Most of what makes an amp sound good is actually being able to dial it in properly and being able to play well.
