I agree.
I have done a careful comparison of my pre-Rola original G12M to some Celestion Greenback reissues from '01. The original sounds exactly like my favorite old records. The reissues are certainly in this direction and sound pretty good, but they just don't have the awe inspiring magical tone of the original.
Has anyone tried the Weber Greenback clone?

And that's without accounting for however the album was mixed. I really take some of these comments with a grain of salt, as a finished mix is rarely without processing of some kind, plus mastering as well.
However, it is cool to find that sometimes you do have a piece of gear that sounds easily like part of a finished mix. It does make it easier to get that one particular sound. At least until you do the current songs' mix that is...
Also, a lot of posts keep referring back to the originals, when my original post was never meant to compare the new to the old, simply to state my satisfaction with the particular amplifier I have.
But in the Internets this usually happens...sidetracking into this-or-that speaker, sag, tubes etc... I do hope to have a few sound samples on my website of the amp I bought, with a few different guitars played through it, and a few different settings, along with mic and preamp notes, so you all can listen to the new amp, and hear for yourselves if you like it or not.
Cheers
