bradm Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm the proud new owner of a Fender Deluxe Reverb amp...Is it one of the re-issues, or a vintage one?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 It is indeed a reissue. Sounds glorious. Traded my Fender DeVille 410 for it. Couldn't stand lugging that beast around anymore, and the Deluxe is so much better suited to what I'm doing. I can get as loud and/or as crunchy as I need to get with it, the Deville was uneccesarily large, heavy, loud and dirty. I'll miss it when I'm 50 and want to start a Big Sugar cover band though.

bradm Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 James McKenty actually uses a Fender Quadreverb: 4 6L6s, 100 or 135 watts, 4 12" speakers (it's a combo), 90 pounds. My little Fender Champ 12 just kind of runs and hides when something like that comes over the horizon...Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Oh man, a Quadreverb? I thought it was Super Reverb, which has 4 10's I think. I didn't realize it was that much of a beast. Come to think of it, it is a pretty huge amp. Last time I saw James he was telling me that his amp is due for new tubes and it's going to cost him an arm and a leg.The other crazy thing is, I didn't know Fender was still making a Champ with tubes in it by the time they were making those red-knob amplifiers.

bradm Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 The other crazy thing is, I didn't know Fender was still making a Champ with tubes in it by the time they were making those red-knob amplifiers.The pages I linked to are part of the Fender Amp Field Guide, which I find a credibly valuable resource when finding out about Fender tube amps. The "Champ" sections lists all the various Champs, including the Champ 12, Champ 25, Champ II (part of the Rivera-designed "II" line, which also included a Princeton Reverb II and a Deluxe Reverb II, which I've heard referred to as a "pawnshop prize").Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I haven't played there (or been there) in a few years, but Clark Hall Pub rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 That's what I hear, dave-o. Looking forward to playing there. Apparently it's the Friday night right after classes end, and there's some sort of tradition involving the engineers drinking there all day?? I don't know. But we're looking forward to it.Just wanted to bump it on up as we have a Hamilton gig this week with The Spades and Matt Barber. Looking very forward to opening this show.

dave-O Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Engineers drinking all day at Clark? I wouldn't know anything about that.(I kid)'Ritual' is every Friday afternoon. But they kick everyone out around 6:00pm and re-open the bar later for the night. So unfortunately (or fortunately?) you won't be playing for the all-day drinking crowd.

TheGoodRev Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well fry my grits, I guess it won't matter anyway, because we've had to cancel in Kingston. Sort of bummed. There will be others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
