This is a smart man.

Instead of trying to duplicate 's amp and mic, he
tried various mics, amps, effects, etc., on his own (well, with help from
the music store dude), and found what worked for HIM.

I love my little Silverface Champ, JT-30, Green Bullet, Tie clip mic, and
various effects. Others say the Silverface isn't all that great and they
prefer a 59 Bassman, old Silvertone with 6x10's, Super Reverb, Twin Reverb,
the house PA, an old Gibson, Echoplex tape delay, SM-57, SM-58, and just
about anything else that can be used. These are fine for those who love
their sound.

But in the end, it's YOU that has to live with it. It doesn't matter one
bit how Walter sounded on it if it makes you sound like tepid vulture
vomit.

Also, he probably saved some serious money by doing it this way. A lot of
music dealers have a certain "pride" in keeping "collectibles" in the music
business and away from the grubby little paws of those who would make museum
pieces of them.
