rockabilly69 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'll throw in with Howard on this one, John. The Jensen Jets sound really, really good, and vintage. Well if my tone brother from a different mother say's that, I'm going to have to try one of these!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Kuz - how did you learn about all those different type speakers? I think I would go broke if I had to buy each one to try it out. Do tell. Weber speakers. They make a gazillion different speakers and the choices will make your head spin. Too many choices really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 the normal is the version in my Deluxe Reverb! BTW, what tubes are in it? Some soon to be gone JJ 6l6s (going to get some Tungsol RI 5881s) and 4 NOS RCA 12AX7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212Mavguy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Zackly. I'm not sure if they are your fave, but a single short plate RCA 7025 is a tonal go to V1 or PI in that circuit, something to mix with the very similar looking but dissimilar sounding 12ax7a/7025 short plate. The magic is in the mix between those two types. When you stick in and bias your 5881's, afterwards switch them in their sockets, compare and keep them in the order that gives up the best sustain… a nice pair of 6l6gb vintage glass in Sylvania or GE will put a smile on, as will a pair of Sylvania 6l6GA, the 6l6GB glass is same wattage as original TS 5881/6l6wgb. The GA is slightly less, 19w vs. 22-23w for 5881 on spec sheets. Unusual in that is is a small coke bottle with springs on the mica contacting the bottle, better for a combo amp than most coke bottle glass 6l6's and the tone is pure "Wow."

RhoadsScholar Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Great addition to an already amazing collection of Fender's amps.... I too would like to cover the wattage/sound spectrum with a collection similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 After having this amp for 5 days now, it is official..... THIS PUPPY FREAKING ROCKS!!! Very Voxy/early Marshal tones that is different from the typical Blackface tones. This Brownface tone is really right between a tweed and a blackface. Not as distorted or thick/saturated as a cranked tweed and not as scooped as a blackface. In love!!!!.... Yet again with another vintage Fender!!!!

212Mavguy Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 How Sweeeeeeeeeet it is! So pleased for you, and the thought of how many others over time are going to be enjoying that amp while you are playing through it is even cooler, rocking as well as praising. Way to go, Kuz. That sounds like an uber- kewl tone palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
