Fender Quadreverb
My friend says he spotted one covered with dust in his neighbour's garage when he dropped by to visit. I'm not familiar with them. My friend said it was a Silverface.
The Fender Amp Field guide shows that it's a 4x 6L6, 100-135 watts, with 4 10 inch speakers. Is it fair to say that it's like a Super Reverb with the guts of a Twin? Anyone play or own one? How does it sound? What would be a fair offer for it? |

I used to have a Quad Reverb. It had 12's. I don't remember the tubes.

I think our own WickdGuitar uses one..... awesome, but I'll bet it's HEAVY!
Hopefully, he'll post some pictures of that amp.... anyone else use one?

It is a Twin
Quad Reverb = Twin Reverb chassis in combo cab w 4-12's, around the same time Fender also made the Super Six, which is a Twin Reverb chassis combo w 6-10's.
Both of them sound great but who wants to haul that around, I don't even want to haul a Twin around anymore! |

That is an amp for the hard of hearing or the musically insane. It has to be one of the loudest amps ever made. It would be a great museum piece because of its uniqueness, but I can't imagine a situation it would ever suit these days. It'd be like having a big block 455 with a huge Holly four barrel carburetor that gets 6 miles per gallon. Very cool but not very useful as an everyday driver.

Thanks! My mistake, it has 12 inch speakers, I misquoted the FFG page that Tazz found as Daddyex pointed out.
Musically insane? Hard of hearing? I'm there Rumble! |

Albert Collins' quad had JBLs to boot, unbearably LOUD... I saw him play that amp in a 150 seat nightclub... my ears are still ringing after 20 years...
Larry Garner also still uses a Quad, saw him last December in Tampa, obviously someone else lugs that beast for him (Larry is not much bigger than the quad, and doesn't weigh much more either!) Franc Robert Back Alley Blues Band
