strat0124 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I know its probably blasphemy, but damn if the new ones don't sound pretty damn good. I'm thinking of swapping something for one. Its almost the perfect club amp.....almost! Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Strat Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I tried one, and while the clean channel was really cool in a 60's surf kinda way, the OD channel wasn't all that great. Maybe I'm twisting the wrong knobs? BlueStrat a.k.a.

Maybe I'm twisting the wrong knobs? there is no lead channel. there is a clean channel and another clean channel with vibrato and reverb. anyway i have played one of the originals and i must say it did sound fantic. i just wish i had a tube screamer or something handy when i used it to get the feedback/sustain that i love.

Jim Soloway Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I've tried a few of them. I liked them a lot. It's a really good sounding amp and the bang for the buck is outstanding. The Blues Deluxe also impressed me, although it doesn't have that wonderful Fender tremolo. www.solowayguitars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIAMOND DUST Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 The PRO REVERB reissue is "outstanding". I played that along side the "VETTA", and now I know that TUBE amps will always be better. http://b-cordova.dmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revolead Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 My neighbor had an older Deluxe Reverb Reissue for awhile and he liked it, but then he recently, over the summer, traded it in for an original silverface '68. He and I both agree that older one sounds better, but it might just be a test of time. The amp itself sounds great, but as I play metal, I don't think it has enough headroom for my taste, but will see. Those 22 watts are pretty dang powerful, trust me I'm no buyer into the 350W Moder Four crap. I just need some headroom and some break up in the same amp. Shut up and play.

gtrmac Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 The '65 Deluxe Reverb RI is a great sounding amp. I had one and sold it to buy a 'Custom' Vibrolux Reverb for sentimental reasons. I had an original Vibrolux which was stolen many years ago. I like the CVR a lot but I would've been fine with the '65 DRRI. I built a Tweed Deluxe clone too and actually this has become my gigging amp. Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd. Osaka, Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the original blackface Deluxe Reverb and Super Reverb have the same preamp and channel setup, but the Super is louder. I repaired my Uncle's Super Reverb. Now that's an awesome amp!
