Title: See and hear a vintage JTM45

Just thought these demonstration videos of a JTM45 in action by German Gitarre & Bass mag might be interesting for some of you:

haha yeah.. it really sounds like Cream on some of those clips, did Clapton use the JTM45? I love that sound either way, kinda gritty but awesome. Also giving me gas for the IndyGuitarist Plexi Drive pedal which is based on the JTM45!

Clapton used a Bluesbreaker combo on the 'Beano' album with John Mayall. It's basically a JTM45 head in a 2x12 cab with tremolo  :D

In most of the live pics I've seen from that era he had Marshall Plexi stacks behind him. Those and what appear to be Fender Twins :)

Sounds awesome. I want one!

Or I could make my Fender sound more like a JTM45 with different tubes and speaker.

Am I remembering correctly that early Marshalls were based upon Fender circuit designs- possibly Ratrod is thinking along those lines. Those JTM 45 amps sure were great.

You could try it with say, a '59 bassman and get a convincing JTM45 sound. But it's not gonna come very close if you're running a Twin Reverb without quite a bit of modification to the circuit.
