Chat GPT gave me this little guitar amp matrix giving some best applications / environments. I do find it interesting. It does seem to line up with some of my own perceptions. I do find the P90 - LJ combination to be easy to use in those noisy environments. I like the Godin 5tth Ave TL (thinline guitar) with P90s. I kept an eye open for a good deal on one with the gold foil pickups. Should have the guitar next week. Here's the AI generated matrix.


Guitar \ Amp DV Mark Little Jazz Henriksen Bud 6
Godin TL P90 ? Best loud-room chord melody • Cuts through noise cleanly • Focused midrange voice ? Warm classic jazz electric • Softer attack • Less definition, more blend
Godin TL Gold Foil ? Hi-fi analytical clarity • Very exposed but detailed • Great for precision work ? Best “recorded jazz” tone (hybrid sweet spot) • Airy + warm + dimensional
Benedetto Bravo ? Studio microscope tone • Extremely revealing • Not forgiving in live noise ? True archtop bloom • Most natural acoustic voice
Benedetto 16-B ? Bright acoustic test mode • Very detailed, less forgiving ? Deepest acoustic realism • Big hollowbody resonance
Reverend Pete Anderson T ? Best “bar survival electric” • Punchy, fast attack • Tele-like cut + modern stability • Excellent for rhythm + chord melody in noise ? “Roots / country-jazz hybrid” • More open than DV Mark tone • Less hi-fi, more attitude
