| Ever try to remove the PCB from a Marshall to replace a component? You have to remove most of the wires from the board just to flip it over and de-solder. PtP is WAY easier to fix.
Some manufacturers make the foil traces too small and too close together, resulting in weird capacitance and poopy ground path - same as in pro audio stuff. Old PCB Marshalls sound fine. Very fine. They have fat traces that are far apart.
Guitar amps are pretty simple to make, but finicky to get right. They take some tinkering - that's half the fun! If you want to tinker, go point to point. If you just want to plug in and rock, buy with your ears. |
