Electronically slightly different ? sorry to break anyones heart but the only thing thats different with these amps in comparison to stock amps is the pretty plaque on the back and the over inflated price tag, that fact coming from a couple of sources, one in particular being the guy that built the things, as previously stated you could buy yourself the real deal and have plenty of change in your pocket whilst at the same time gaining an investment.
The Taydens, being the new kids on the block wishing to gain exposure and not dismissing them whatsoever are most likely in the amp as they are probably cheaper,
A great way to move amps that had maybe started to sit to long in the warehouse perhaps ?
I guess the final point of question is do you get a cert signed by both the men themself ? stating and varifying such claims ?

Hi Dave, I ordered on of the 10 - "50 Anniversary Amps" from JMI - and I was told by an american musician that these amps were modified and electrically a little different to the normal JMI AC 30/6 TB and fitted with Tayden`s because Hank & Bruce wanted to have a closer identical tone to the original amps they used in the 60`s !!

Hello,
I just stumbled on this thread whilst searching for something else.
I built the six amplifiers that The Shadows used for their 50th Anniversary tour, and can confirm that there were no special modifications made to the electronics, despite claims to the contrary made by Music Ground in their advertising.
If anyone has any questions about the amplifiers, I'd be more than happy to answer them.
Steve
