Man, there seriously needs to be a sticky on the 16' BE....
The 16' has:
1)Gain structure switch
2)Slightly revised "voice" switch
3)Sozo caps instead of the old Mallory's
4)TAD el34 power tubes
The biggest difference is going to be the TAD el34's vs the previous JJ's.
The voicing isn't changed...it's the components (tubes/caps), not the circuit....
