Just bought one of these with a hughes and kettner tube factor and i cant find a better sound it is the best sound i have ever heard. i bought one at guitar center for 1300 and it was worth every penny.
I own one of these, and it sounds fantastic. Let me give you 3 tips to help you get the most out of this amp: 1. Put quality tubes in it. It will cost 100 bucks at least, but makes a HUGE difference. The stock tubes are truly crap. 2)Play with the tone knobs to fit your guitar. 3.Play at a volume over 3. These things don't come alive till the volume is at least 3, and sound best if you can dance between clean and distortion depending on your pick attack. Which is loud.
@LukaszKomala Absolutely. One of these and a Keeley modified tubescreamer is a match made in heaven. Just realize that to get the best crunch, you will have to crank the volume over 3. Lower than that doesn't sound bad, just a little muffled. Same speaker set up as the Bassman. I use this amp with a Strat or Les Paul, and a Tubescreamer often. You will love it.
@magicbag6790 Hope you will :) I had the same hopes as you earlier and ended up winding my own output transformer after buying an amp ( not a Fender however )... This passion can kill you :)
wow, that sounds great, not sure if i should go with this amp, or look for the 64' vibroverb reissue for the srv tone. p.s. im playing through a 62 stratocaster..
Hey guys, can any1 haelp me? Im getting a super in 2 weeks 4 my 16th B-day, i love the cleans on this amp, but i havnt goten a chance 2 krank it at the store. If i crank the volume up on this beast, and maybe add some overdrive, can i get an ACDC sort of tone, somthing big and crunchy, thx -Ryan
45 watts isnt loud if you have original 35 watt CTS alnicos. They stop getting louder at about 4-5. Not sure about RIs but the old ones start to OD at about 3..
@tjaker46 Seriously people, if you are playing a Super Reverb, and you have the volume on 8, and you are in the same room, it will shake you right out of your chair, and no shit stuff will start rattling off the walls. I've been there and it's kinda fun! Even on 5 or 6 this thing comes on a little strong. The tones you get out of it when it starts to overdrive are really to die for, though, so it's a balancing act.
Friend of mine cranked a SRRI in the amp room at GC over the weekend. It's loud, but not earth shattering loud. It just starts to overdrive more as you pass 6. Doesn't get any louder, really.
With humbuckers on a LP Custom, it sounded fat and awesome. Bright switch was off.
That's sick! For some reason I was thinking I could get an SRV tone with a Strat and a Marshall, but it ain't happening. This is where it's at, baby. Gonna get me a Super Reverb one day.
Yeah, but they were based on the Bassman amps... these Super Reverbs are different, as far as I know. If I were forced to use a Marshall I might go for the JTM45, eh?
Anyone else find most of the Fender videos muffled?

in my opinion the Super Reverb and the Bassman are the best amps ever made!

Super Reverbs are a dime a dozen my friend, but your
choice of guitars isn't. That Gallagher strat would smoke
100% of tone out of any amp!

i wouldn't get this unless you are playing big gigs.
the fender twin reverb is perfect for stuff like that.
you can get a nice tube driven overdrive when you crank this thing up

Very true. I guess if it's that SRV sound you're after then it's one of these cranked or a Twin with a Tube Screamer.
If you get a chance check out my 65 Twin demo videos.
