I think you've run into the issue that many players have after being around top-end equipment as long as you have, in that everything becomes a flavor really rather than good or bad(because yes they're all great). To me the tone here is unbelievable, it sounds right off a classic record you've worn out after spinning too many times. For instance, I think it would be fun to compare this to a monoprice, or a budget Fender/Bugera/Supro amp just to remind yourself how truly awesome some of the gear you have at your fingertips is. Content is fabulous and well produced as always! Cheers.
❤️ And yes I'm very spoiled at this point. But that's sort of the point of this series in the first place. A decent but still cheap tube amp is going to be close to 1k. Save up a bit more and you can have this professional grade amp, the super is an absolute bargain!
I am blessed to own a '64 that I have had since it was brand spanking new. And a 1966, as well. They are really sweet amps. Saving up for an AmpRX Brown Box! I had my amp tech replace all the years of acquired junk, with SoZo Blues ... Wow.
@@YeatzeeGuitar I’m mostly into rockabilly and surf these days and your amp has the tone I’m looking for. I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for one. I’ve had several Fenders models in my life (Twin, Hot Rod Deluxe, Concert, Champ, 75) but never a Super. Nothing else sounds like it. I’ve got a Blues Junior now and I hate it….especially after watching this video, lol.
What this video doesn’t capture is the spread and 3d sound from the four 10s. It really fills out the sound so you don’t have to be as loud to be felt.
I also have a very early 68 black-line drip edge super. Amazing amp! Someone had swapped out a bunch of the blue molded Ajax caps with orange drops, but thankfully they saved them and nothing was wrong with them so they went back in!
The amp sounds amazing! My main amp is a new Magnate Panoramic stereo and it doesn't breakup really at any volume, just clean quiet and clean loud. I'd love to have one of these vintage super reverb's as well.
@BushidoPhoto, if it's a modern-production Magnatone you should pull it out of the cabinet and post a gut-shot video on UA-cam. I've worked on vintage Maggie's but have never seen an interior examination of a *new* Magnatone anywhere online. Neither Lyle or Brad have ever worked on a new Maggie....
Sweet man. I've got an OX box. do you think running it through the OX box 4ohm connection will wear the tubes or damage it over time? Also what cab did you use on the OX to try and match the super reverbs sound?
Sounding great and appreciate all this insight. So, harkening back to your first vid in this series, where you said you got the amp “cheap”, do you still think it was a good deal for you? I suspect that answer may change as to others, like me, who are not doing all these self repairs/upgrades.
@@adamkrauss303 I paid $1200. I don't think there's an amp that can touch a super reverb for anywhere near that price... Which is not a fluke price either. I literally just sent someone a link to buy the same year for 1.2k list. It's a professional amp, easily repaired... They're amazing.
Had a super reverb I loved but for me a black flag JTM50 is the key to my heart. The great thing about music is the variety and differences we can all get and make wonderful music and sounds. There is no best, just best for you
Absolutely! And the point of the first video wasn't that the super is the best amp in the world, per se, it's that there is no amp that can touch a super for the prices they go for. A true professional amplifier, maybe the best classic design fender ever did, and they're available for less than a reissue! It's amazing.
@@YeatzeeGuitar we’d have to look at the shipping totals to prove that! All fenders were expensive at the time but were a must for gigging musicians, halls, etc and they would produce more of what would sell the most generally! This is why we see so many bf/sf bassman, showman, super reverb, bandmaster
I absolutely LOVE a super and want one but I know it doesn’t make sense for me. I’ve got a 74 deluxe reverb and even that is more than I need on the rare occasion that I play a gig these days
It's best to leave the monster, high-power amps to those who really need them for larger gigs, those who are most suited to own them. Not great for older folks like myself with a bad back and who doesn't play out ---- I can fix big amps but owning anything more than 15 watts is wasted on my mediocre at home playing . On the other hand, my wife and I have mostly owned giant dogs; we like giant dogs and are used to them and know how to train them, but they are best left to experienced dog owners like ourselves (there's a video of them on my channel). We're also getting older, which means that in the future any dogs we adopt will have to be 50 pounds or less...
Sounds Great. I have a vintage 1968 Super Reverb as well. Its had lots of work done to it from previous owners. They replaced all the coupling caps with Mallory 150’s. Love its tone, It just sings. My only issue is It has a higher noise floor (Background Hum) than I care for. . Any suggestions for that i would be open too.
I've been struggling with a high noise floor on both of my blackface fenders. They're not, as far as I can tell, a great design for super quiet operation. The first thing to determine is if it's hum or hiss. Hum being a harmonic of the wall voltage. From there you can start pull tubes and seeing where the noise goes away. That will give you some clues on the problem area.
@@YeatzeeGuitar, Did you try undoing the heater-circuit wiring string and checking with a multimeter to see if all of the Preamp tubes are fed from the same AC phase? Pull all the tubes and disconnect at least one of the green heater wires from the transformer at the 6L6's, and start continuity checking with the meter. There's a valid reason why people building their own amplifiers often used twisted heater wiring made up with 2 different color wires, so they can phase all the tubes correctly.
Although the Super at my GC turned out ti be a 90s reissue , this series of vids has me really thinking hard about getting a pre 75 Super, i do need a “classic” Fender amp of some kind, more amp for home/studio than any one needs but the tone of these is the best imo even at low volumes , the 4x10 and BF/SF circuits just is wonderful….

Combination of everything. Old speakers old transformers, old resistors, old caps etc. I think a part of it is also how a lot of parts are out of spec today, so you could make a perfect clone using the schematic but it won't sound the same as one that's been around for 60 years regardless
This sounds super ok to me. It might sound better with humbuckers, but this is just not a good sound to me. The gain staging in this amp just does not inspire me at all. Pale in comparison to a vox for me.
The sound of a Super on a nice bridge pickup in a minor key is as crushingly confrontational as life itself.
Brad the philosopher, I'm here for it 😂
True true!
It's second only to,
....the neck pickup.
Nearly always overlooked, under-utilized, and even disliked... by most players.
Streaming this through my Marantz 70’s hifi. Even the compressed UA-cam sound is killer. Excellent job capturing the tones! Huge kudos.
@@sunsetjunior9313 thanks! That sounds like a rad system!
Man...killer tones from a killer amp! That reverb is luscious. The Super Reverb lives up to being my favorite Fender amp model.
Damn!! It sounds like America, In the best possible way. Beautiful work. Incredibly quiet noise floor! Zero hum! Thats a keeper. Bliss.
