I'm debating right now between the Classic and the 101B. I could buy a Classic today, but I love the 101B and it's about 700 dollars cheaper.
I know it's been talked about a million times in the past, but what was the main differences between the Classic and the 101B? Does the Classic lose some of the "gooey", "rubber band" like feeling the 101B has in the lows and low-mids?
Hey Dale,
I tried a Classic along side my 101B for a few days, it didn't take long to make up my mind though.
These are just my thoughts and perceptions from having them side by side. The 101b is fatter, has more saturation and is much easier to play. It felt like I was plugged into the LO gain input! The Classic is more open and it is still great but the 101B is much better for me. Also, because the Classic doesn't have dual assignable presence and excursion switches I found it noticeably less versatile.
Cool! I was thinking along the right lines. I figure if I buy another one new, I will not want to get rid of it. I've settled into what I like as far as amps are concerned. I've owned three 101B's. All were great in their own way, but I really like the newer 101B's like JB has at the moment.
I'll probably call Stu at Fat Sound to see when they're expecting their next shipment of 101B's.
Thanks for chiming in! Sorry for my mini-hijack of your thread, JB.
Dale
