Only a few minutes with the T/D, but it's definitely more "spanky" than the Bassman. B-man has that warm sound clean and gets nice and raunchy yet woody. T/D clean is beautiful full yet bright and the crunch is more "bitey" not quite as tight in the bass. I think the T/D is a good match with the EG5 and the Bassman more so with the SL2. I'm gigging the T/D and EG5 on Saturday so I can better determine the differences. I love channel B on the bassman.
