petit témoignage de quelqu'un qui a à la fois la Tobacco ET la GT Slash
I hooked them up to the Marshall Silver Jubilee (what else?) this time. And don't you know when I got them situated and started my phone rings with an alleged emergency (that turned out not to be one after I left). Anyway, I had a few minutes:
1. My earlier theory that the volume pot on the GT was kind of on/offish is not true compared to the tobacco. they work the same as far as I can tell, not really taking off much volume until you really get down toward the bottom. It's possible I'm spoiled by the 58 GT VOS I have, which has upgraded pots, etc.
2. Set on the rhythm pick up on 10/10, the guitars sounded very similar with similar volume output. Set on 6/6, which is a spot where you get a very nice (creamy) sound, I thought the GT had a better, fuller range of tone. Could this be the treble bleed? Anyway, there is a genuine difference, I think in favor of the GT. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay to really work this out. Now I think I need to read up on treble bleeds.
3. Thin necks on both.
Hopefully we can get boleskine to rip some riffs off this weekend at the informal MLP jam so we can a/b them properly so you guys out there getting them will have a direct comparison to the tobacco, and hopefully another LP reference.
Anyway the early verdict is tops aside i'd take the GT based on tone.
That's right at the jam there will be the most recent three Slash LP's open to play on every kind of Marshall there is, and I bet the guys all showing up hate Slash! I'm thinking though the GT may win some over, even if they won't admit it.
donc pour ceux qui connaissaient ou possédaient déjà la Tobacco ça donne une idée, la différence se situant visiblement au niveau des contrôles (Treble Bleed)
