Well, hopefully.

I'm finally satisfied with what I have, for what I like to play. I've had a variety of amps over the years. My favorite before these was a Deluxe Reverb Reissue(58).



Top: 59 Fender Champ. All original except replacement speaker (Jensen MOD)and new 6V6 power tube (Tung Sol). I need to get the two-prong power cord replaced. I MAY also try a Jupiter speaker, based on the reviews.

Bottom: New Fender '57 Deluxe Reissue. Hand wired. Pretty loud 12 watts. Still breaking in the speaker, but love the tone. Particularly with single coil pickups.

Playing through a variety of Telecasters. Some Fender, some custom partscasters.

Neither have reverb, so I'll be looking for a quality reverb pedal. I've been recommended the Strymon Blue Sky, or Wampler Ethereal.

Those are great amps. I hope to someday have a fender twin reverb of my own. Right now, I play on a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.

If you’re looking for a reverb pedal, I’d recommend a Hall of Fame Reverb or a Holy grail reverb.

What are you doing with that deluxe reverb these days?

Those are sweet. I've been looking into maybe getting a SF champ recently
