Tweed amps of the 1950's are today's standard of tone. There are many mass produced and boutique current production guitar amplifiers on the market today. Fortunately, owners of these products like posting their pride and joys on You-Tube.
I have been listening to amps on the web since it first came out. Most amps sound similar. The exceptions I can count on one hand. The Komet 60 is one of them. With Sovtek EL34 power tubes and 12AX7-LPS preamp tubes it goes against the grain of tube "experts".
The proof of the pudding is how an amp sounds clean or before harmonic distortion. With a mediocre guitar and speaker the Komet 60 sounds as good as any super expensive 50's jazz guitar and amp combination.
Growing up in the late 50's and early 60's I loved the tone of jazz combos of this era. The way the tone rings out like a bell - like this amp does! It is comforting the 50's magic tone still lives today in a current production amplifier.
