Nick. You will be interested to note that when Dave Burland played at our club recently, out came the Texan. I was sound engineer and wanted to mic it to get that distinctive sound but he uses his practice amp as a fold back so he plugged in and I d.i’d out of the amp.

Funnily enough, I ran the desk for Wizz Jones last year and his Texan he has had for fifty plus years came out. His “distinctive” sound is a cheap glued in 1960’s transducer. He plugged that to his AER behind him for monitor and I d.i’d outbof it but I also ran a mic and blended them. All good stuff.

The point for us all here is that two musicians admired for more years than many of us would admit to are still using the guitars they played when The Beatles were playing The Cavern Club. Once you are happy, stay happy.
