Gruupi Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 A Fender blues deville tweed 4x10. I love my amp. When I bought it it was the one on the floor and it sounded great. The guy brought another one new in the box but it didnt sound as good. It took me a year to find a preamp tube that wouldnt go microphonic on me, the cabinet rattles some. But it sounds so good. It has lots of little irritating quirks as tube amps tend to, I dont even play loud so the rattles are unjustified. But it sounds better than any amp I have ever played through.

Sylver Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 How can one go wrong with a Fender tube amp? I'll take one of each please. 'Course this one in particular is makin my blood boil at the moment: http://www.fender.com/new_repository/fender_amplifiers/images/8140000000_md.jpg Not that a pic does it any justice ... 64 Vibroverb Custom In the summer of 2001, we were approached by César Diaz, the late great guitarist and "Amp Doctor", best known for caring for the amps of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, and others. César was anxious to collaborate with his friends at Fender on a new Vibroverb amp, incorporating his favorite modifications. He provided valuable input throughout the early stages of the project before his untimely passing in April 2002. Now the amp has come to fruition! The '64 Vibroverb Custom is the first new amp to join our "Custom" series since the mid '90s. It's an all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp with solid finger-jointed Pine cabinet (see right) for thick, resonant tone and the unique, throaty sound of a single 15" speaker. From the front, it appears to simply be a faithful reissue of the rare and collectible 1964 Blackface Fender Vibroverb amp, with two independent channels, Reverb, Vibrato, and crystal-clean tones. It is just that, but around back, a few surprise features are waiting to kick the tone into overdrive -- literally! César's legendary Vibroverb modifications are easily accessible via the MOD and RECTIFIER switches on the rear panel. This allows the player to enjoy vintage Blackface tones perfect for many styles of music; then easily "modify" the amp for hot-rodded, cranked up "Texas Blues" tones bristling with sustain and harmonics. Other premium features include: a new 15-inch Special Design Eminence speaker with full rich bass tone and enough top end shimmer to please any guitarist; and a pair of powerful all-new USA-made 6L6-GE Groove Tubes. I really don't know what to put here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headlow Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I played a Stage 100 for nearly 3 years, and loved it. However I recently aquired a Hot Rod Deville. I don't really notice any a differance in the clean channels.....I find that it when the distortion kicks in that it comes into its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 If money were no object: http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/48/480649.jpg Oh well... Tried this one a couple of weeks ago at Sam Ash on 48th with a mexi Strat, and Epi LP Black Beauty: http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/48/480723.jpg I'd definitely buy it over any of the current ss models with the digital FX stuff. It can get better tones than some of those models. Definitely enough juice to cut through onstage, and would sound just marvelous with the right 4x12 cab. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Favorite Fender amp? With the Fender name on it, and everything? Has to be this one- http://img.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/48/480514.jpg Blond Tolex with Oxblood Grille Vibro-King 3x10 Seriously great amp, with the best tube-reverb and tremolo sound I've had the pleasure of playing through! I'd love to have one, someday, with a matching 2x12 bottom-cab, too! The old, original Vibroverb and the Prosonic are also seriously cool amps, and that new Custom Shop Cesar Diaz Vibroverb Custom is extremely interesting! I've gotta check one out sometime... But, the hands-down, absolutely BEST "Fender"-tone, even-better-Fender-than-Fender award must go to... http://www.toneking.com/Products/meteor2_front_250.jpg The Tone King Meteor Brown Tolex w/ Wheat grille http://www.toneking.com/Products/meteor2_topcorner_325x276.jpg When I can (afford to) get Mark Bartel to build me a custom Meteor 40-B 2x12 Special, I'll have the ultimate desert-Island, "tweed-Deluxe"/"blackface-Pro-Reverb" meets "Vox AC30TB" combo-amp!

I was rebuilding a '56 5E8A tweed Twin Amp (the two-6L6, 2x12, dual-rectifier guy) years ago, and was in a bind and sold it, all taken apart and as-is (-was?), beat to $#!t and with no speakers, baffle-board, or tubes. I got it for $40.00, and sold it for $150.00... (sigh...) I wish that I hadn't parted with it...

batterypowered Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Well, the only Fender I've played for any length of time is my 75 Vibro Champ.

stanner Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 someone say ? i am a fender guy thru&thru... startin w/ my SB '63 stratocaster that goes into either '65 twin or '64 dual showman or '63 showman into various cabs w/ JBL-D130 F (F for FENDER) spkrs. that being said i favor the redknob dual showmans and twins for playin out-they are rugged and have a great distorto channel, spring reverb and are loud as hell, (per LEO)! s AMPSSOUNDBETTERLOUDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, actually. I had some electronics years ago and was an electrician in the Navy so I can handle some stuff. I have an old tube radio I'd like to pull the amp part out of and build a little hoser half or one amper out of. I would suppose that's what I'd get, power wise. Yeah, send out a couple of links, that'd be great. ignoreeverythingdaklander@adelphia.netexceptwhatsinthemiddle Our Joint "When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it."

musicalhair Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I agree with the one of each opinion. That is one of each of the good ones, you can keep the cyber-digital whatevers. The Princton, '65 Twin Reverb, various species of Bassman, etc: one of each for each room in the house. Hey Sylver, I'm Jonesing bad for the Vibroberb reissue with the single 15" speaker. Do you have one? Is it everything you hoped for? (Honestly and off topic, I don't think a guitar or amp will ever satisfy my gear lust until some hot team of babes jump out of the back of it and attacks me when I first plug it in-- but my therapist says I'll be OK). check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.

revolead Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Actually what is really cool is my neighbor is a total Fender geek, so he has practically all the different Fender amps at one time. I go over there a lot, and a couple times been able to play through them. But usually I just shut up and listen. He's even got an original '65 Super Reverb he wouldn't trade for anything. Shut up and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetboy Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 a mid 60's super reverb is my favorite real fender with a deluxe not far behind. But if your talking fender clean sound, the best I've ever heard is a Carr rambler 1-12 ooooweeee that's tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
