H&H Music was a go-to chain of stores in and around Houston, TX when I was a kid (in the 90s). It looks like they still have a couple of locations at present.
Great tone and playing!..my first Blackface amp was a 66' Super Reverb i bought from Lark St. Music in Albany, NY in 1989. I traded in a musicman and cash which i paid off over a month waiting tables. I remember going up to Albany in the freezing cold Winter in my Renault le Car to make the final payment and taking it home like it was yesterday! Great amps. They just are too heavy for me (after two back surgeries)and too loud for the small venues i gig at these days. The Super will always hold a special place for me.Thanks for sharing!
I bought mine brand new in 1964. Played out with that and other amps across 35 years, and now have six bulging discs in my lower back to show for it. Get a hold of a Vibrolux ... much easier to deal with and easier on the back.
@@Tonetwisters I feel ya....that is exactly what i have now a 67' BF Vibrolux and even that is hard to turn up in the small clubs and restaurants, so i use a Princeton Reverb mostly now.
H&H Music was in Houston but went out of business about five years ago. They had a few locations and were a great full-service music store. They sold, serviced and repaired everything musical- horns, pianos, guitars, etc., and did it well! My son found a “Naked Lady” tenor sax at an antique dealer in Houston. Picked it up for $250!! It was made in France in 1935! Beautiful horn, in great shape, but the pads were shot. I took it to H&H and they got that old girl singing again! Awesome Super Reverb, there!
Tonetwisters the 1x15 surely has a huge low end. I bet you could also get a nice tone with a precision bass out of it at low volume, just a little below the point of breakup. It should give that nice, ever so slightly distorted Motown thud. It would be great in the studio for recording basslines!
@@rolux4853 I actually have a 1978 or so, Telecaster Bass that now has a Precision Bass PUP in it. The 15" is a Weber 15F150, which is a ceramic. Thinking about putting a Weber 15" Alnico Blue Dog in it ... check out their website with John Bohlinger playing through his Fender with that speaker -- KILLER!
great sounds man - Fender 1960s amps are truly great. Modern Rivera and Mesa Boogie also have the same smell and they both also 'whisper' the notes when desired. Again - love your phrasing and playing man.
I have a 1X15 in my '66. You can make that reverb sound even better by running the reverb out directly (with appropriate cables) from the tank, into the NORMAL channel, EQ'ing out most of the bottom, and running the treble on 10, maybe even hitting that bright switch ... Some guys drive that reverb with a 12AU7 for less drive and more control.
Love this amp, have several from the era. This one has the CTS Alnico speakers which I adore and think they were the best sounding. Some had Jensens, Oxfords and other speakers. The CTS were the best to me.
Hard to go wrong with a Super Reverb. I still have the first amp I ever bought, a brand new, 1964 Super Reverb. Also have my late brother's '66, which I converted from a 1X12 JBL, to a 1X15 Weber. What's really fun, is to use an attenuator on the back, and a BOSS CS-3 Compressor on the front ... what a sound.
the ugly sound that is heard at 3:25 to 3:27 is the failure of some bulb that causes a vibration in the internal filaments, or what is causing that sound ?, I have an amplifier that makes the same sound at certain frequencies and I do not know what it is ...
H&H is in Houston. They used to sell guitars, drums, basses, and a lot of pianos and band instruments. Now they only do school band and orchestra instruments.
Run the output from the reverb tank into an RCA female-to-A-1/4" male jack and plug it into the normal channel. EQ out most or all of the bass, hit the bright switch and run the treble knob all the way up; set the volume at how loud you want the reverb to come back. Sounds quite good, without the on-board Fender reverb mud ...
It sounds lovely but I think ur guitar is a little out of tune and it also sounds a bit flabby like at least one speaker cone might need attention. Love these amps. I have owned 6 of them and my 66 is still my favourite.
and.. in the 80s-90s music stores, with those traynors, crates, yamahas, we still figured out that the old amps ruled, and that the tele speaks the truth through them.
Had the same experience with that amp. Check out my band Randy Thomas & the Insecures ua-cam.com/video/wTdPLHO5f0s/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RandyThomas%26theInsecures
Because there are no wanker stick on a Tele. It is so annoying that all presenters on UA-cam either wanks the stick or shakes the neck. Nobody does that in real life.

Awesome Super Reverb, there!
I owned 2 of those at the same time. Probably the best sound I ever had.
Still blessed to have a 4X10, 1964; and a 1X15, 1966 ...

how heavy are these amps, I"m guessing pretty heavy ?
@@jixxxxer17 they are about like a Twin Reverb in weight.
These things rock. I played one today and its LOUD! Very clean too.
I own one of these that I recapped and found NOS original tubes for it. It is equipped with the Fender labeled JBL D-110F’s in it. Incredible amp!

H&H Music is in Houston, and the Super Reverb found new life amongst punk/garage/indie guitarists in the 70’s....🎸🎶
and now ;-)
Could you share some bands as an example

@@BITESIZEJONES Thanks! Great fun, Sir!
You have the best with the CTS ALNICO speakers. My '64 had those and was never topped.
I have one setting three feet from me as I type this. Has a 1X15 in it. Goes along quite well with my 4X10 1964 version. Very fortunate to have these.
My 66 Super has Utah speakers. Played my goldtop thru it today.
Mine has a 1X15 Weber 15F150, but thinking about changing it to a 15" Alnico Blue Dog.
And thats a super sounding Telecaster as well! Great video!
Sound great man! Nice to see a fellow lefty doing such great vids!!
I’m right handed but I play lefty :D
Oh yeah. Super Reverb ✌🏼
This shop has guitar gp‘s .....yes, makes me cry!😭

I come here for the opening shots of Seattle, oh and the cool gear.
H&H is in Houston. They used to sell guitars, drums, basses, and a lot of pianos and band instruments. Now they only do school band and orchestra instruments.
I remember . it was a chain I'm pretty sure

Great playing as always Trevor! You should do all the guitar demos. 👍
E-string out of tune.. don't they have ears?
I've never seen snowman 8s and the setscrew on the 1! Should be on the 10!
It sounds lovely but I think ur guitar is a little out of tune and it also sounds a bit flabby like at least one speaker cone might need attention. Love these amps. I have owned 6 of them and my 66 is still my favourite.
I here it
Sounds FANTASTIC but how much was added in the recording process that I can't get live?
There is definitely a super in my future
Do it!
I have a '64 I've owned since the early 90's and love it, except the weight. :)
Playing starts (finally!) at 2:33.
If you get a chance, try mini humbuckers! Supers love mini humbuckers.
You otta know!!
I actually have One of these fender black face amps
Fellow lefty making this video theoretically has his pick of gear and still has to play a Tele, like me, because they don't make anything else for us.
and.. in the 80s-90s music stores, with those traynors, crates, yamahas, we still figured out that the old amps ruled, and that the tele speaks the truth through them.
I have a 66 black face fender twin reverb. This thing in this video is a little too big
Anna , you give back your ring to me, and i will set you free, go with him......sounds wiked man thanks
My first fender was a super......lol not the ideal bedroom amp...trust me
I have a 67 Super Reverb, Im a bedroom player, yes, I bought a THD Hot Plate!
@@ericcartman8354 Those 2-ohm Hot Plates are quite Spanky, what?
Had the same experience with that amp. Check out my band Randy Thomas & the Insecures
ua-cam.com/video/wTdPLHO5f0s/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RandyThomas%26theInsecures
SRRI sounds great yay ! First 2.5 minutes is talking boo!
not as squishy as I would have thought. punchy like SS rectified twin.
The mighty super, warning.... handle with caution, it will blow yer face off
What microphone did you use for this?
$2795 - about the same price of a new Mesa Boogie Lonestar or a custom shop Fender Twin - very similar sounds.
H&H sounded familiar, it's here in Houston
That's what I was gonna say Houston
I have an early 67 blackface Twin Reverb I'll trade you
Haaaaa those neck shakers. It dont change nor make any vibrito to you sound.
With a Stratocaster...
Why do people shake the guitar neck at the end of a chord?
michael romeo it bends the strings, it acts as a vibrato on guitars without a tremolo (this tele)
Because there are no wanker stick on a Tele. It is so annoying that all presenters on UA-cam either wanks the stick or shakes the neck. Nobody does that in real life.
What a gear snob " I only like the blackface fender amps"
2:33 that sounds familiar what is it?
Anna by the Beat*les
Something ending with: '... go with himmmm'.
FF about 2:00
What's in it for glass? Sounds like newer tubes
starts playing at 2:33
elwrongo a bit verbose
@@Zod741 He's a salesman, first; guitar player second. So he has to sell the amp with words and build anticipation towards the demo ...
Little e string is flat.
IT'S A 2:30. and you still keep saying
Too much blabbering
Berta Griese Bit long but kind off liked it
You have to remember guys this is also a sales pitch..
Shut your bitch ass up
why did you stop talking?
