I think Gibson guitars into Fender amps is maybe underrated. The full-frequency tone of a Les Paul into the more scooped Fender amp matches really well, especially when the amp is turned up. I have an AB165 Bassman, and a Les Paul or SG with the Bassman turned up is such a glorious sound. Great work as usual, Johan!
Hi Johan! Thanks for this video! I did own a 1973 silverface Fender Deluxe Reverb for a while but I found that it did lack a bit of power when playing LIVE. So I got a 35 watt 1968 silverface Vibrolux Reverb that I modded by making a new speaker baffle on which I mounted a 12" inch speaker and a 10" inch speaker. The 12" inch speaker brought my Vibrolux the bottom end that it lacked. Keep on rockin' Johan!
@@JohanSegeborn It's a very tight fit. The 10" speaker is a 40 Celestion G10 alnico gold and the 12" speaker is a Celestion Classic Lead...My Vibrolux sounds huge!
1st Rule from the mid-60's. GIBSON guitars and FENDER amps. The most common combo back then was a Red 335 and a Twin Reverb. That's what we always said. This proves it. Thanks Johan. Fun post.
Johan , your videos are just the Best going on UA-cam nobody does them like you do,Big Fan here in USA!!Please keep these killer videos coming and Happy Holidays to you and your Family!!Dave Feidman Should send you the New Jake E Lee 50 watt head to Demo!!!
I have the Tone Master DR Blonde….i know it’s not the same as that beautiful vintage tone machine, but I love mine for gigging. You just showcased the absolute versatility without a single pedal…beautiful demo!
After watching a Rick beato video where he demonstrates a modified fender deluxe Reverb to blackface specs... I started drooling so much, my wife thought I was having a seizure or something 🤣. This vídeo was no different, thanks for sharing dear Johan! Great tones as always ❤
Just last week I bought a JBL K120 after much thinking. Johan’s video comparing the 3 JBL guitar speaker models was very helpful when deciding whether or not to buy it. Threw it in my deluxe reverb and have been very pleased!
@JohanSegeborn I had an orange frame d120f in my DR for a long time, but I put an '83 G12-65 in it and that was the end of the road. Best sounding amp and speaker combo I've owned.
Hejsan Johan. I can see how much you really dig the tones as much as us. You have really found the gear. I hear "Alive" sounds coming out of your production and I'm happy for you 🔈
Great video Johan, thanks. The Deluxe Reverb was a highly used amp in so many recordings, but I think the Super Reverb appeared on just as many recordings as well. Maybe one day you could review one of those for us.
I've got a 100w Marshall Amp in a two 4x12 stack that sounds good, but I still prefer my original 1966 Fender Super Reverb amp with my 71 Les Paul Deluxe 🥁🍷😎👌🎸Rock On
Thanks Johan! The 1963 blackface Fender Deluxe Reverb amp was quite an evolution when you consider that it was untroduced only 3 years after the Fender Tweed Deluxe. And in the years between these 2 amps was the Fender brownface Deluxe amp which is also a good amp, a model used for recording by Billy Gibbons. Suhr copied that brownface Deluxe model with their Hombre amp.
Sounds great Johan- I would agree it’s maybe the most versatile amp of all time. Change the speaker or run it into different cabs for a ton of options.. run it lower volume with pedals or crank it and it screams. My fav is running mine around 6 or 7 on the volume (Klon up front for boost) into the Fryette power station and using various cabs to lean more Marshall (Celestion) or Fender (various vintage and newer Jensen/CTS style speakers).. can hang with a great Marshall head, much like the BF Bassman heads…
Basic AB 673 circuit same as all Fenders of the era. 6v6 tubes you can't go wrong. Does it all and a lot of albums have been recorded on that amplifier design. With tube rectifier your even better off. Sorry I haven't been around. Hey but it's the holidays. Thought I would chime in. Thanks Johan. Cheers from Hawaii. Darrell
Also has the advantage of not being as monstrously heavy as the Fender Twin. As you play a lot of different bands come back to mind. Love the dock cranes
I made a 10" speaker baffle for my 77 DR and secured it to the existing baffle using the original studs (screws), and installed a 10" Jensen Mod speaker. Still has plenty of low end and is great for recording. Totally reversible. The 10" speaker seems perfect for the dimensions of the DR cabinet. Did the same thing for my Carvin VIntage 16. The 100 Watt GT12-100 that came from the factory was way too boxy for that small cabinet. Some shipped with a Celestion Vintage 30. Same problem.
Nothing like a Les Paul into a fender. I have a old vibrolux that sounds amazing with a Lester plugged in, unfortunately it’s so loud I hardly ever have the chance to play it hahaha
Les Paul into a Blackface Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb is just the most amazing sound. The only way it is more satisfying is if you run it in stereo with a low wattage Marshall. Sounds massive but not overbearing.
I absolutely adore the warmth of the Jensen, but i know everything I love about it would be shelved off in a mix and just sound like the Oxford once the final EQ'ing was done.
Awesome Deluxe demo. I don't the level of distortion heard here but I only use single coils I have a 74 Deluxe and a re-issue VibroVerb ( early 2000s w/ Diaz mod) and the VibroVerb has a lot more clarity, overall its a better sounding amp - imho.
Another perfect video! I have my original Oxford in a box thinking it makes sense to protect it. Is that a smart idea? I’m using a Celestion Gold at the moment and sometimes a Weber DT-12
That sounds really great. It sort of reminds me of the great tone Marc Bolan got on tracks like Jeepster & Rip Off with his Vampower / HH amps, with Dallas Rangemasters. But maybe that's the Les Paul speaking. A Rangemaster is what I use with my Victory V40 into Marshall JTM 1x12" open back with Creambacks mic'd with M160 & Sennheiser 421-U. When I am trying to push it more toward the tone of the Fender Deluxe / Super that it is loosely based on. Pete Thorn has a nice video on the Rangemaster. It tightens up the bass, adds more of that Deluxe bite back into the treble, and cranks it harder into a dirtier saturation. Dropping it into the lower power modes helps get you more into Deluxe or even Princeton territory too. Sometimes I run it in lowest power mode into a little Vox Pathfinder 15R I can use as a small cab and that sounds nice and snarly too, close mic'd front and back (phase reversed) with Beyer m201s.
I totally agree! I have a 67 Deluxe Reverbs that came with replaced power transformer, an unknown replacement speaker, who knows what maybe Japanese? But anyways it roars cranked with humbucker or P90s!
Hi! I turned the amp down to where it was saturated enough and with some breakup and then used the guitar volume to clean it up. I used the pots on the guitar more on the tweed deluxe
Spectacular, beautiful tone! Works really well with the Les Paul and has a ton of bite, but a different characteristic from a typical Marshall for sure. Still very rock and roll. How loud is this in the room when you’re really pushing the volume and getting the breakup?
Surprised how great that sounds, I always found overdriven Fender amps to be too loose and flubby for my tastes but I feel the gas starting to bubble up 🤦♂️
I have an original blackface also, and its been my #1 gig amp for several years. The three things that make the biggest difference are: 1. Bass on 2, 1 or zero as the amp is turned up 2. Using input #2 (on either channel) when cranked to 10 going direct in with single coils. It keeps the tone from splatting out 3. The humble Celestion Lead 80 beat out 14 other ceramic, alnico and neo contenders from Celestion / Jensen / Weber / Emi across all volume ranges from 2 to 10.
@@trevorjalla I agree so much about having the bass very low/off. I’m always so surprised when I see people crank their amp with the bass turned up. I know it’s all subjective anyway, and maybe some people like a really farty amp. But I’ve never understood it.
Keith Richard's uses the classic lead 80 in some of his Fenders although it could be G1280s . He referred to them as Celestion 80s so it has to be either one .
I have a voodoo labs superfuzz and never could get it to get that spirit in the sky sound. I see it has almost way more to do with how the amp sounded!
AB763...the best Fender circuit? In the Deluxe Reverb, Deluxe, Pro, Vibroverb, Twin Reverb, Showman, Bandmaster, Tremolux, Concert, Super....did I miss any?
I had a deluxe reissue 8 years ago and i never got it to break up like that! I wanted to play low volumes with pedals and idk it sounded good but i had no idea what i was doing. I wish i was able to crank it
Beautiful amp and lovely sound. Love Your channel. You've tested planty speakers in DR - how do You rate stock C12K? I'm on the edge of tone chasing rabbit hole with my DRRI:)
You mentioned that the Deluxe Reverb has a nice compression that results in a record-ready sound. Do Marshalls compress like that, too, or would you say that there is a big difference between the Deluxe Reverb and your typical Marshall?
@@JohanSegeborn Hahaha! Ok, you win. I guess being Italian makes me a total wimp when it comes to cold weather. I'll stick to my pasta and pizza, and you can keep your icy swims! 😃
Do you still have the tone king gremlin? Would also love to hear a shootout of the rhythm channel of the gremlin ( blackface) vs the DR through same speaker/ cab
@ Cool I actually bought a gremlin based on your review. Absolutely love it especially the rhythm channel. Discovering that maybe I’m more of a “blackface guy” than I thought.
Why can't we have simple amps and amps with more features This isn't an either or proposition nor does it have to be . Most companies offer simple amps and more complicated modern amps ..Different tools for different jobs . Not everyone blues wanks 24/7
I have a '66 non reverb deluxe...the plate/rectifier voltage is 488 volts off an Amperex GZ34!!! What is going on here! The schematic says 420v. Is it the power transformer or rectifier tube? My early '70's JMP Superleads' are golden clean or dirty to me though! The deluxe sounds great .....but the Superleads' are the bomb imho Oh ...my '66 BASSMAN sounds like the Marshalls
Best guitar tone videos on the net. No BS or ego trips, just solid info and riffs!
Makes my day to hear that!
@@JohanSegeborn my pleasure - I passed through your town once, on a tour in 2013. It was raining like crazy!
Yup, as usual Johan keeps it mean and clean, real and rockin' no comparison... in this universe at least.
And still only 100k subs. Really a shame.
Thanks for cranking it up and trying alt speakers! I’ve never used the stock speaker in my reissue-went with a Creamback 👊👊
Thanks Andy!

Thanks Kevin!
Agree! It’s a pleasant sound!
I've got a Les Paul with p90s going into a Princeton Reverb with a 12". Even at low levels and clean its great.
@ Yeah, I love clean tone with p90s more than humbuckers. There seems to be just touch more airy attack with p90 to me.
Yeah ! This is exactly what I do ! Sg junior, (RAT+eq if needed), 73 bassman 50, 4x12 marshall cab G12t75. That’s all, and it rips !
That must be one of the best sounding Deluxe Reverb i've ever heard, i loved it with the Les Paul!
Great to hear that!
Amazing and surprisingly Marshall-esque when cranked. Now we have to hear it through some greenbacks.
Deluxe Reverb: my favorite amp of all time. Paired with a Les Paul….killer! Great riffing Johan. As always, you bring it!

The Oxford Speaker sounds incredible. I guess the Jensen C12N Reissue would suit the Amp better as the C12Q.
Thanks, yeah I think the reissue comes with the C12N
@ No with the C12K, which imo sound not that great either. The Blues Deluxe has the C12N stock. The C12N sounds the most balanced with its 50W
Great tones and playing! Nothing to not-like here.
Thanks Rick! Glad to hear from you!
Sounds fabulous with all the speakers Johan! Amazing bite and dynamics. I bet your Tele will sound amazing through that.
Thanks Eddie! Yeah I was planning to include the Tele but ran out of time unfortunately

Very nice tones Johan. I think that Fender makes a hand wired reissue of this amp.

Tube amps cranked are so much fun. 😉
Amen to that!

excellent tones there Johan, also a great representation of the super distortion that im presuming is in the bridge?
Thanks! Yeah that’s a 1977 Super Distortion
Leo was a genius!
ridiculously good!
Glad to hear it!
Wild. I always think of these as clean amps and pedal platforms. Guess you have to really crank them to get sounds this raunchy?
first 20 seconds of playing and there is that marshall tone ..
Sounds like a fantastic cranked Deluxe! Doesn’t sound like or react like a cranked plexi though, imo.
Thanks Gary, yeah the playing dynamics are very different, this is much easier to play
Thanks Johan. When going clean, did you roll down guitar volume knob ? Or was it rolled down in the amp ?

Telecaster bridge pickup?
Not deluxe per se but other combos. Cool sound
