Re: Do old school tube amps have more mojo then newer tube amps?

I like simple amps also. I made a guitar amp head out of an old Newcomb phonograph player. It has just one tube but it's a little jewel.

Do old school tube amps have more mojo then newer tube amps?

I have a 1960 Airline 62-9012 amp made by Danelectro. The 6v6 in the Airline seems to have more compression and darker character than the my Heathkit A9 with 6L6s.
Can the same be said for the 6SC7 compared to the 12AX7. I am asking this because I want to build an old school Fender Deluxe 5C3
