1965 Deluxe Reverb and Les Paul

[lingzedong]

dude you rock!

[peanutavalon]

I played a reissue at a friends house..It sounded great. There is a great deal on TGP for a 64 DL in excellent condition...Do you think there is that much of a difference? What speaker do you reccomend? thanks

[fender83085]

Seriously best tone ever! any tips to give to a struggling blues player lol what do you usually do for practice

[samthehiggins]

not only do you and me have the same fender amp from the same year, the same guitar, but we have the same computer too. INSANE.

[Frank332666]

nice mix :O good playing too :-)

[disciullo77]

Great combination (Les Paul & Deluxe Reverb) Even at the low volumes sounds like you get nice lush sounds. Breaks up nicely when you cranked it but has an element of clarity. Doesn't sound "farty" like a Fender Blues Junior. Oh yeah...nice playin' too!

[skydog46]

@disciullo77 Thanks very much!!!

[iatemine]

Nice Man! I wanted to grab a Bass and jam along with ya there :P

[songschreiber93]

Great playing!

[alanstrainor]

God damn i love this vid. The tone is shockingly good.

[skyemozart]

Great Sound and Playing, I think I better look into that amp for my Les Paul, love your classic sound.

[soundofbluesthing]

Great! What are your tone settings??

[christrealized]

Now were talking... very nice

I like it way better than the blues breaker

Nice playing

[thecommonsenses]

alot of Clapton in your playing, nice

[jspartacus]

@thecommonsenses No, it's BB King.

[frostyjr2]

there's nothing like the sound of a nice Les Paul played thru a blackface DR... heavenly tone & volume that won't leave you with hearing loss! nice playing, too ! :)

[Daamon77]

Dude you make me sick. That is ridiculously good playing. Never a rude note in the whole damn video. You should be on a Lear flying to the crossroads music festival lol. Good job.

[skydog46]

lets go!!

[guitarcapo]

Deluxe Reverbs sound great cranked too. Especially with that bridge pickup.

[sgdan143]

great tone.....and great playing.......and what year is your les paul? (It looks great)

[HendrixClaptonSRV]

..i love those amps so much..

[a1g2e3i4l5]

Where do i get your screensaver?! :P

[BlackRadio]

How much did you pay for an original 65?

[vizzue]

I'm sure the cleans are great, but that's not what I'm looking for. I guess I'll need to shop around a little. Half the reason of having a tube amp is so it overdrives naturally. The amp I have now is very simple, and it has some beautiful cleans, but it doesn't distort, and it doesn't have reverb or anything. I'm just looking to extend my collection to include some varied amps, but volume is a problem for me.

[murraypw]

An option to get that natural tube drive tone down low is the boss SD-1, people dont realise but they are VERY close to the tube screamer in terms of schematics and give similar results, especially to the ts9 (im sure tube screamer purists will be lighting their torches from this comment but oh well...i dun want to start an argument)

plus they cost $50 as opposed to the $150 for a TS

[vizzue]

These are about 25 watts, right? How loud do these get? I live in a townhouse, and have cranky neighbors. I've got a weird 7 watter right now (60s Japanese stuff) and that's already starting to push it. I wanted some sort of 5E3 amp, but I like the Deluxe Reverb sound (less compression, and it has reverb and trem).

Any suggestions to that regard?

[murraypw]

they get pretty loud dude....dont let 22w fool you. they are real clean down low but to drive the valves and get the full tone out of em you need to push it past 6 and thats just about jammin volume for me.

thats why people use tube screamers etc

[vizzue]

Well, since decibels are on a logarithmic scale, 10x the watts means twice the loudness. So, how much louder than 7 (clean) would a Deluxe Reverb be?

[murraypw]

put it this way...at 6 on the tremolo channel, youd be looking at over 70db so ur cranky neighbors and their cranky neighbors would definitely hear it.

but look....this is providing you want to hear the amps tube drive come out, these things still sound good down low (but are clean as a whistle.

[martinwebster]

damn man

i cant wait for my les paul and 65 deluxe reverb to arrive after xmas. sweet tone man.

[skydog46]

You know this isn't a reissue? The JBL helps with the cleans too.

[ruderocker]

Damn bro....5-stars.

[fenderstandardstrat]

That sounds great

[freebirdjoe]

great job, video good, sound good.

[fenderstandardstrat]

What pickups do you have?

[whoahawesome]

you NEED to get a better camera to do this equipment justice!

[skydog46]

better camera? Or mic?

[mouse25314]

mmmm tasty

[Hepnotic]

this is a good video to show the fools who think you cant mix gibson guitars with fender amps.

[ProudMama07]

i also love your style.. close my eyes and listen and i think bb king meets 60's clapton with a les paul

[skydog46]

Thank you very much!! That means a lot!

[hydrogenelephant]

oh i should of added that i love ur playing and you did a good job of reviewing the amp just by playing it

thanks...

[hydrogenelephant]

hes just playin the blues

[Spikee12345678]

Wich scale is that skydog46? Very nice amp and playing by the way, I like your style!!

[skydog46]

Thanks man!! Pretty much minor pentatonic. But I also use modes quite a bit over major key, or minor key stuff. Dorian mostly. There's a cool mix of major/minor pentatonic scale that I call the "swing" or "jump" blues scale. That's what BB King uses a lot.

[StratTone]

Hey bout time someone demo's something and can actually play. ;-)

[alanstrainor]

Amazing tine and playing, i love it

[brrk3001]

No, give it to me! I asked second.

[EnTallrikPropaganda]

Give me your Deluxe Reverb! :)

[guitarswhiskey]

The tone is great, clean but enough grit to add some nice texture. Great combination with the DR amp; mine is a '66 and will never sell it. Do you know the ohm readings on each pickup?

[welfaremothers]

hey! i little Led Zeppelin at the end (black dog) :P nice playing!

[bookoflies777]

I know this will sound crazy, but will that amp do metal if you throw a BOSS DS-1 or something similar in front? The cleans are TO DIE FOR, but I like the heavy stuff too...

[bobbyswamp]

Outstanding playing, bro. Nice chops. The gear sounds killer, too. Love the tone.

[IXIBobOhIXI]

True blues :) you can see it in the face.

[skydog46]

Hey Ben,

I'm just using the camcorder's mic. It's a Panasonic GS500 and it's a great all around camera. This is on the auto mic setting. It automatically adjusts the level. Great Lieca lens too!!

[NKPman]

Dan, can you tell me what equipment you use to video your sessions? How do you mike the amp - is it a separate mic, remote from the camcorder? The quality of yr vids is way superior to many other home-produced efforts on YT. Ben

[njbkraft]

sounds great! Was that going into input one or two on the amp? Great playing!! I have the same amp and a LP too... thanks!

[skydog46]

Thank you!!

[mark9292]

sounds great, nice playing too :)

[wickedmojo]

killer! I liked when you cranked it to 6 and beyond! great tones all around!

[skydog46]

thanks very much!!!

[alexstrat]

awesome ;-) great look without the pickguard

[skydog46]

Thanks!! Yeah I need to have the original cut for humbuckers!!
