My 95 Delux Reverb 112 that I never really bonded with, is for sale.

Holy mary mother of God!

Howdy,

Dr.Z Carmen Ghia. The only other amp I use these days is my old Vibro Champ, which is only about 20% of the time. The Carmen Ghia is that good.

Got an old Roland Cube30 a few weeks back. Expected it to just be a cheap practice amp, but it's got some of the best plug-in-and-play sounds I've heard anywhere.
Compared it to my tweed Fender '57 Deluxe 5E3 and it still sounds great.

Best 100 euro I've spent in a while.

Vox AC30cc2 modded with Weber Silver Bell and Blue Dog Speakers. It's been out of commission for a while due to the fact that it needed new tubes. Got that taken care of and it's alive again and maaaaaaan.

Vox66 · April 22nd, 2012, 11:26 PM

My recently retubed '63 AC-30. I scored an Amperex Bugle Boy 12AX7 and seven Mullard BVA 12AX7s for $150 at a guitar show over the weekend. All I can say is WOW! Now if I could just find a deal on a matched quad of Valvo EL84s.

Wait a minute....aren't you the guy that has always been dissatisfied with low-wattage amps? What's different about the AC15 from all the other low-power amps that didn't work for you?

I just got my Janglebox compressor about a month ago and I've been thinking about electric 12 strings again after 15 years so I brought my Janglebox and a store had a used Rickenbacker 360/12 v63. I plugged into a SF twin reverb and turned on. It was Byrds time. MAN TURNED ON THE COMPRESSOR IT NAILED THE TONE! Very little tweeking and there is something to the toasters instead of the high gain pickups!

Stubee · April 23rd, 2012, 12:45 AM

My SFPR with BFPR innards, had it for years but just discovering it. Played it again tonite on about mid volume and man with my '62 Tele Custom RI it is about as good as it gets. These things sound like pretty big amps for what their size.

SilentCityRob · April 23rd, 2012, 04:27 AM

I recorded a Blues band a couple of weeks ago. One of the guitarists had modded his Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with a Jensen P12N. Definitely wow! Great tone across the whole speaker - I couldn't find a single point that sounded bad. No harsh fizzy frequencies and no boxy/nasal mid range.

valiant · April 23rd, 2012, 12:31 PM

Have a Valvetrain 205 Classic (1955 5F2a Princeton) which is a great amp and usually play a USA Epiphone Riviera with mini-humbbuckers and Guild Starfire IV but have finally got a Fender Telecaster....an American Vintage 52 Reissue "Coppercaster" and the single coils through the Valvetrain...WOW!

pedenphoto · April 23rd, 2012, 04:00 PM

1946 Fender Deluxe, model 26. Wow

soulman969 · April 23rd, 2012, 09:09 PM

Wilde Keystones in my Tele in Series through the Tweed sim in my Roland amp. Smooth, bluesy and awesome!

ADK Teleman · April 23rd, 2012, 09:15 PM

I got a Fender Deluxe VM a few months ago and man that is one sweet sounding amp! I really love how she sounds when she is up around 4. I am able to keep up with my co lead's 60 watt marshall combo. It give us a great tonal balance and volume!

fezz parka · April 23rd, 2012, 09:19 PM

Nothing.

But his did make my eyes pop out of my head:

BobbyZ · April 23rd, 2012, 09:23 PM

Fezz what the hell is that?
Looks cool.

fezz parka · April 23rd, 2012, 09:31 PM

There's a thread in Other Guitars. It's a Bigsby Clone.

BobbyZ · April 23rd, 2012, 09:48 PM

Thanks I'll give it a look. Bigsbys were made before Fenders if I rember right. Kind'a had a Fender shaped headstock. Or Fenders had kind'a Bigsby shaped headstocks.

keithb7 · April 23rd, 2012, 10:05 PM

My 68 SFVC now has a full set of NOS tubes and sounds great! RCA 12AX7A, GE 6V6GT, RCA 5Y3GT. Wow. Volume on 5 with some Sparkledrive in front for low volume dirt. I love it. Not too loud. Not sure how to describe. Just wow.

Lee Harvey · April 23rd, 2012, 10:08 PM

Still really stuck on Jason Laughlin..

This guy is just a killer guitar player

Whoa, that is clean. If that is somebody's clone, it is really amazing workmanship.
