Mick Jones 1979 Marshall w/ 6L6s -- clank!!

Mick Jones modern Marshall-ish 6L6 tone

I really like both tones. First definitely sounds Fendery, doesn't sound cranked. Would be fun to mess with.
At it awhile, still learnin'

2nd vid almost sounds GnR AFD in a way :scratch: Definitly fat mids and some crunch happening.

yeah man, good ears, I hear that too now that you mention it. 6L6s to me just don't have enough warmth like EL34s or even 6CA7s have, but they do have a certain other something. Recorded old Mick Jones tones with it are pretty killer.
