Rumpelstiltskin Pickups and Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue

[Danthehorse]

The Jensens are way to brittle for this already bright amp i think.

[reallybored32]

@Danthehorse yea true i upgraded to a kendrick greenframe which balance is out more

[ToothyGus]

well played sir

[Achase4u]

@ToothyGus Thank you!

I agree PTP is overrated but it does make the amp easier to service or mod. It's also arguably more sturdy and less apt to rattle and shake the tubes when the amp is cranked.

[Achase4u]

@guitarcapo They are easier to service I'm sure - but my DRRI is almost 100% if not 100% rattle free where as my only PTP hand made amp has alot more problems and rattles. Bad one I guess?

[guitarcapo]

@Achase4u

My DRRI rattled a bit when it was new. I think what happens is that the speaker vibrations shake the PC board that the components are on. And sometimes the tube sockets are soldered directly to that board. I fixed it with tube dampers but later the problem solved itself. Heads separate from cabs was the old solution back in the day. Soundwise I can't tell much difference between a reissue and vintage. A reissue might be a tad brighter but that might just be the speaker.

Why is the power jewel light off?

[dewere641]

@gmlasam cause its a picture when the amp was off

Hey Aaron, you made me a set of pickups last year and I LOVE them! Not sure if you remember me, I'm the guy out in Hawaii? Thanks again and I can't wait to get another set from you!

[Achase4u]

Hey Neil! Yup I remember. Glad you are enjoying them! Thanks!

[TriumphTune]

Which pickups do you have in the strat?

[Achase4u]

The pickups are Rumpelstiltskin Pre-cbs pickups.

[bluestudio67]

wanting to have the guy at Rumple build me a set of aged '53 Blackguard to spec with zinc and copper plate, etc. He's a "best kept" secret, huh? :) LOVE the ROMPS.... very cool when one guy can just play fender through fender and keep me interested. Sweet.... a favorite.

[Em1nenceFr0nt]

finally a video of just playing, and TONE....Tired of all of the wanna be Sound engineers saying that the PCB based DRRI's are crap because they aren't P2P....Bahhhh, impact is minimal at best....If you think an Amp with 40 year old caps and pots is a "tone monster" you're either very naive or utterly stupid....This is an amazing amp in either original (maintained) or Reissue....Overpriced ? Maybe so, but great sounding none-the-less...Nice chops OP

[Achase4u]

Thanks man! These are great amps I think. You can get them used these days for 600-700!

[auss1981]

Hi Aaron!!

The tone is just spectacular!! And the playing too!!

I believe these pickups for strat sound amazing!!

The DRRI is my favourite amp ;-)

[Achase4u]

Hey! Thanks very much! Glad your still liking yours ;-)

[fender83085]
