I've played both of these amps and I own a 66, so you know my biasup front. The KT 45 is a bright, clean amp with lots of headroom. Think Hiwatt. It does get into distortion when really cranked, but it is loud. Bright and crisp, but not ice picky either. Smooth bright, I guess.
The 66 has a thicker sound, still hifi sounding, but denser tones, a bit darker but not over the top dark. Rich harmonics and less headroom. Goes into overdrive sooner.
KT45 = bright and glassy R 66 = thick and juicy

When I play the KT45, I can't help but think of the Jing Chi Robben Ford tone even though I usually can only play a few notes of one or two songs.
