To Dave in reply I thought Hank Played extreamly well at the Arena, it was his sound, I was under the immpression that the JMI used the EF86 valve in this
10 only JMI Amps. specially produced for this tour. The sound he gets on C'mon Everybody is very different to the norm we expect from him.
and Allthough Hank was on top form his sound was "Thick" and not as clear as I have heard him play "Live" from 2000 to 2003 when he used the Matchless.
I know you are going to tell me that Matchless use the EF86 pentode, I just dont think that --- "THAT SOUND " is all down to one valve.
