Good Trade Deal?

[Fink132]

Hey all,

I have a super reverb clone that I listed locally for sale as I’m not really using it. It was built for me a few years ago and I’m more into modellers and such at the moment. A guy offered to trade me a 1982 Deluxe Reverb II and I’m wondering if I should consider the trade as I’ve kinda wanted a deluxe in my arsenal for a while.

I did not pay a ton for my amp build as I traded another amp at the time to help with the cost, and I could be totally out to lunch with my asking price too…

Let me know what you guys think about the deal and what you’d do

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a good deal if you want something smaller and less traditional. I think this was a Rivera era amp so maybe it has a push pull.

Sounds like a good deal if you're going to use it. I don't really know what those Rivera era Deluxes are going for or what you put into your Super, but if it's in good condition, go for it.

I’d do that deal. If the Deluxe is in good shape.

As long as the Deluxe is in OK shape, should be ok.
'82 should be handwired. More practical than your super I'd wager.

I contacted him and let him know I’d likely be open to a trade. I’ll update if I get to see/hear the Deluxe in person

I’d trade only IF there is no possibility you may want/need the Super clone later.
Both are great amps.
I gig, so I’d rather have the Super.
Deluxes get washed away by bass amps, or any other louder player.
I like to be able to do battle.
Perhaps this doesn’t apply to you.
If not, trade away.

Any time you trade something you don't use for something you will use, you come out ahead.
