eljay Posted March 3 Posted March 3 found locally at a killer price, picking it up this afternoon . . . the Deluxe Reverb will take a breather . . . 1
Steiner Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Still looking for a killer priced one here. There’s something about the twin that speaks to me. They’re mostly a “move once” behemoth with a lovely sound. Congrats & happy NADs!
kennyv4 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Congratulation on buying a great amp. I had one for a long time with no issues. Sold it due to it's weight and a bad back. I do miss it.
eljay Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 It's got a marvelous clean tone! It's on a roller stand now so moving it around the playing space is not too bad. I was intrigued to learn that the Twin has much in common with the mighty Showman amp!
rockabilly69 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 One of the best rock and roll tones that I ever heard in my life was a very early 70's Les Paul Custom plugged straight into a '68 Silverface Twin. Some guy had traded it into Guitar Center and a very good guitarist friend of mine who worked at the store for a while was checking the pair out. It was after closing time so he cranked it and it was awesome. Total rock and roll! If I could afford it at the time I would have bought the combo on site.
ElNumero Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I have the same amp, a 2006 reissue, cover and all. Yes it’s heavy. I also have a Super reissue and a Deluxe reissue, as well as a Supersonic 60. I must be nuts!!!

The Super Reverb is my second favorite amp, just behind the Bassman.

I kept the bassman.
pressure Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I saw Johnny Winter in a medium size club and he was playing through 2 Fender Twins with JBLs stacked on top of each other. That's 170 watts of power through 4 JBL 12s. It was loud. Good times.

I kept the bassman. I've only played a Bassman a few times. I used the SS60 on the Bassman channel exclusively. I sold it to buy a Blues Jr... Hindsight, not the best idea....

I know, but at the time, the amp was way too heavy and too loud for what I was using it for... wish I'd kept it, but it was a big, heavy amp. I didn't like lugging around a 63lb amp.
