I posted this over in the M12 board, I thought in fairness Id throw it up here too... OK I realize that there is a huge difference in wattage between these two amps, but I'm wondering how similar they might be? Thing is, I want to get another Z. The Route 66 was ALMOST perfect for me. What would have made it perfect? If it was a little less thick/had a little more sparkle/chime...and if it didn't flub out in the bottom end when running fuzz (not that it was REALLY bad with fuzz, but it wasn't great). On paper, both the M12 and the KT45 seem to fit the bill....same tone stack, brighter tubes, more headroom for fuzz...hence why I'm torn between these two. Ideally, I think the lower wattage of the M12 would be better. On the flip side of the coin though, every lower wattage amp I've played just doesn't have the oomph that a higher wattage amp has, even when played at low volumes. There's just something about the big iron that thumps you in the chest...I like it. I also have to consider that every demo I listen to of the KT just wow's me...where the M12 is just kinda meh. But its really hard to judge an amp on youtube alone and I dont place much stock in it. So, thoughts? Read more: ztalk.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=m12&thread=53262#ixzz2Dd8w8dis

I haven't played an M12, but this is my second time around with a KT. I use it as a clean pedal platform. When I play the KT at home, I can crank the volume to about noon with no attenuator. (I practice in the basement - suspended ceiling, carpet, drywall on the walls, and lots of furniture to deaden the sound.) The amp really sounds full and clear. I took it to practice last night in a small space, concrete walls and floors with just a little sound deadening materials on the walls. I had to cut the volume to 8:30, or so. Still sounded good. I imagine with an AirBrake, the KT would be the better choice for me as it would work for a variety of venue sizes. That's my opinion. It's free and worth every penny!
