Stratocaster into Blues Breaker pedal into Fender Deluxe Reverb

This is probably the most recognized "Fender into a Fender" tone.
SRV of course has several "tones". This is similar to his basic tone. Overdriven but not fizzy.
The Stratocaster (80s Made in Japan) has Fralin Blues Specials, strings are DR Blues 10s, going through a Marshall Blues Breaker pedal (a Tube Screamer is usually associated with SRV) into a reissue Fender Deluxe Reverb. Amp volume is 3, both treble & bass are about 3/4 of the way up.
This is my "at home" practice setup. Of course for larger live gigs a Super Reverb will also do the job!

Are there any other pedals that go really well with the deluxe reverb and strat? I really want the bluesbreaker but it's so hard to find, so I'm trying to see if there's something else that I can substitute it for.

Try a Garage Tone Drivetrain. Very affordable and sounds great!

hey dude loved the tone and playing awesome :D hey i've got a question is the fender deluxe reverb loud?

[pearlygrapes1]

Not super loud, but loud enough for a blues gig.

Hi, do you think the Deluxe Reverb is worth the xtra money over a blues junior. Love your playing

[pearlygrapes1]

Yes. Especially if you want the classic blackface tone. And the Deluxe take pedal well or get a good bluesy breakup at upper volumes.

Hey man, tonewise I'm a bit of a snob, but you pretty much nailed this tone for SRV. Sounds great man, I thought of getting the Deluxe Reverb too, just hate dropping a G on it, "college budget". Sounds great, nailed the tone, maybe do us a cover on here sometime! Thanks

[gibsonjammer1]

great tone

[reubenjxgoh]

How would you compare this to the Vox AC15?

[MrMOMOJAZZ]

Yes this pedal sounds good thru a solid state amp. Makes my sound tubey.

[dr05guitar]
