[HAM] why are tonewheels superior?

[joe d]

Geez OF, give me some time I'm not on here constantly ;)p

I think you're missing my point or I more likely didn't clarify. I'm saying 
that the real hams can differ greatly (from one to another - all the 
idiosyncrasies) which is something to love with these vintage beasts (but 
you all already know this).  This goes back to every TG,re-cap, mods, amp 
condition, leakage...heck tons of posts we read here.
I'm just saying these new b-3's really don't have these (sometimes 
uncontrollable) differences (noticeable to the drastic).
One new b-3 will sound very similar to the next new b-3 - but the leslie 
difference should be enough to make up for it I suppose).

I'm NOT knocking your new b-3, please re-read. It's great.
The pricetag NEEDS a reworking (imo).
* and yes, I will prob always prefer the real deal even still ;)P
