You're welcome, Jim, and thanks for the props.
This is one aspect in which the two amps propsed as options differ. The 5F6A and the JTM45 that was designed off of the Bassman have less compression and therefore are punchier and not quite as dynamically responsive. Fender moved in this direction from the mid-50's on through theUL amps of the late '70's-early '80's. Their amps got progressively cleaner with quick attack and less compression. As a result, these old, smaller tweeds sustain better and are more dynamically reactive. IF one is going to play one of these amps, it is valuable to understand how they react to the player/guitar input. One of my fave tweed is the 5E7 Bandmaster....more power than the 5E3 and maybe an even sweeter singing nature to it....and it cleans up with just an attention to pick attack to yield clean sonics.
