Do we have any fellow vintage or tube guitar amps lovers in here?


I have a 65 Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue,
65 Fender Super Reverb Reissue,
Peavey Classic 30 212.

Also love me some tube distortion pedals:

Fender MTG Tube Distortion & Butler Tube Driver

What about you?

He’s way more bass pedal oriented now, but Mr Sushi has some cool stuff pedal wise

The Black Eye is based on a Soldano Supercharger and the JC Emerald is Marshall based. Don’t think he makes them anymore but the Smoke Signal is around used and it’s based on Fender/Orange/Alembic.

My baby and the undisputed MVP for Shack visitors ... 1990 Mark III long chassis head, green stripe with additional mods done in Petaluma by the amp's builder and designer himself, the famed Mike B. He gave the gain channel the "+" mod; gave R2 a dedicated master vol knob on the back panel; and he significantly beefed up the reverb circuit.
Parked atop a circa 2005ish Recto series vertical widebody 2x12 loaded with 80-watt Celestion and 150-watt EV clones from WGS (Warehouse Guitar Speakers).



Very Honorable Mention ... 1966 Fender Super Reverb, mostly stock, upgraded with WGS Veterans (fresher, bolder Oxford clones). She's going to my favorite amp doctor later this summer for a full chassis health check and a birch baffle board upgrade.

Love Fender tube amps, but unfortunately all I have right now is an old Crate tube amp.
I like it, but it doesn't have that Fender shimmer and sparkle that I want.
I'm saving for a nice one though.

I was a drummer for many years, but I know what my ultimate amp and guitar combination is.
The Mesa/Boogie and Les Paul is a real nut grabber.
Salute.

Absolutely. I had a 74 Hiwatt Dr540 and 66 Super Reverb that I recently sold. I regret like hell selling the Super Reverb.

Mr. Fret put me on the lookout for one. I got a 112. 2 speakers is massive for what I am doing.

I have a Peavey 30. Some guitar center special edition. It’s too damned loud. I’ll get an attenuator one day.

1965 Super Reverb for the bigger places. 1965 Deluxe Reverb for the smaller ones. I'm usually rocking a Les Paul, but sometimes the Tele comes out to play with the big boys. I mostly use only the clean boost pedal in my chain when it's solo shred time.

I have the Harley Benton Power Attenuator and it works awesome. Highly recommend. Has an internal fan to keep the box cool and not over heat. Also has a line out / level out.
