That Vibroverb and the strat. That’s the sound we all know and love. That Concert with the Les Paul was pretty awesome too. Sounded like the beginning of “Still the One” with the chords.

A 1961 Fender Concert is truly the one I wish I never let go. Awesome dynamics, perfect time, and the P10R's make for the perfect stage amp... Awesome memories, and awesome demo!

Damn! That Pro!!!! I love the sound and response of 15s for guitar; I feel that they are greatly overlooked. However, every time I hear a Bassman including mine it reminds me that every era of bassman tweed- 70s silverface just sounds like rock n roll!!!!! I love your videos!! I hope you and your family is well and please keep up the good work! Thanks brother!

I was expecting I would prefer the Bassman, surprised to find myself preferring the Concert which I've never heard until today. Amazing shootout, all amps sounded good and you both played great.

They sound somewhere in between a tweed and a blackface. It's so cool how you can hear the circuit evolution. Listening to this you can still hear the raunchiness of the tweed amps but there was also that bit of blackface sparkle in them. You can definitely tel where Fender was going.

The Vibroverb was so awesome!! Incredible! It cut through and stood out to me the most (and I own a 62' Bassman with original Oxfords :). All GREAT amps though no doubt! Would love to own any of them. I really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for taking time to post them!

Fantastic review. I was blown away with the effect an open vs closed backed speaker cabinet has on the sound. I guess I have never seen that demonstrated side by side like that.

Dude you left out the Deluxe! My favorite amp and the greatest brownface. I might be biased :) Great video as always, you're the man.

When i grow up i want to be a happy kid playing guitar all day. Cheers, tasty tone sandwich as always.

Love the mids from the Concert 4x10!

After watching this vid a few years ago I told myself if I ever see a brown Pro, I’d better snag it. That day came yesterday when I acquired a 1960 Pro, oxblood grill cloth. It rips! Thanks, Johan!

61 concert and 62 pro were my favourites. Great video as always

Browns and blondes are my favorite Fender amps especially the 40 watters. That Pro sounds fantastic! Pro, super, vibroverb, bandmaster, pro reverb, concert, etc. It's hard to go wrong with a 40 watt fender from any era, but the two knob bass/treble stack with presence control are the cream the crop! I played a 63 vibroverb for a long time, I went to pickout a 2x10 amp from an old hippy guy when I was younger, for my choice at $700 he had the brown vibroverb and a K&M (two rock) prototype built in a blackface bandmaster chassis in a 2x10 combo. I couldn't decide for the longest time between the two until I cranked them up and ran the vibrato on the vibroverb against the optical vibrato on the two rock. That sealed the deal on picking the vibroverb. In hindsight I really wish I could have bought them both, but that wouldn't be the first amp that got away...

The Brownface era is probably my favourite era of Fender amps. I just wish there would be some affordable reissues! Cool video as always

The Concert is an absolute beast with both guitars to my ears.....but everything here is spectacular

When you first dug into that '61 Concert with a LP, I expected you to start playing the Beatles "Revolution". It's got that beautifully harsh midrange bite. But I think if I HAD to take one, it would be the '63 Vibroverb. ;) Another great video, much appreciated Johan!

Great, I'll take the 62 Pro! Wrap it up! Loved it!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Johan, every time I decide to go buy something I see on your demos you make me change my mind....I want one of each...that concert ......never heard that one before......I am definitely getting a bassman......please go on vacation soI may have some peace!! Al the best Johan!!!

I own a '63 Concert, but if I were picking based on this shootout, I'd have to give the nod to the Pro. That one sounded particularly great IMO. Would have loved to have heard the brownface Deluxe in there too - probably my favorite brownface amp of all. Thank you so much for the videos, Johan! I've been enjoying them immensely.

Johann...damn you! you interrupted my coffee time... now I'm going to look at a brownface twin...DAMN YOU!!!!

The Concert and Pro are my 2 favorites, but like I've said before....must....have....them.....all! Great way to end the week on a Johan and Simon amp comparison. Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see/hear what you guys have in store for us nerds next week! Let's go!!

Great demo! I've always loved this era of Fender amps. Also, the background drown is a really nice touch :)

Thanks you so much for those videos :) when someone comes at my office and I have my headphone and I smile at them , they know that I had the Segeborn effect :) I use my Sennheiser HD650 open cup lol, they hear what I'm listening too :)

They all sound great. I have a 1959 Concert that i love and a 68 pro reverb that is wonderful as well. The brown sound is amazing they should bring it back.

Wow! Suddenly this Pro 15 is the best of both worlds! Great a lot. Thanks!

Those all sound Glorious! I'll take one of each. Saw Ariel Posen recently and he was playing through a Fender Concert, and that amp was very impressive. Likewise, Johan you got some sweet tones from it here too.

The '61 4x10 Concert does it for me, oh yes ... would like to try that out with my '79 LP Std. Very nice video once again Johan.

That Concert has character and TONE - great comparison video!! Cheers gentlemen

dont know why but that concert amp blows me away

That Twin sounds MONEY. But overall, I think most of the tone differences we're hearing here are the result of the different speakers. It'd be interesting to hear each amp through one cab, though that might be a challenge considering they are set up for different impedance. Thanks for yet another informative video!

My vote is for the ‘61 Concert!

It's a toss up between the Concert and the Pro. I liked the Les Paul with the Concert, and the Strat with the Pro. You two guys should jam at the end next time!

got to love the nice complexity of that concert amp it's so nice and tasty. . . ohh and the pro and the vibro verb. just great man, thanks again for another tasty video sample of the wonder full Amps.

Nuno Bettencourt used a brown face Fender Vibroverb through a 4x12 Greenback cabinet on "Waiting for the punchline" album and I think the guitars sound awesome on the album. I always thought it was THE SOUND! And now I can hear Vibroverb sounds dope by itself. What an amp! Actually I loved all brown faces here. And both of you play awesome, thank you!

The power chord on the Les Paul and 63 vibroverb made me stop and rewind

Wow..Would have expected the deluxe also..Phenomenal amp..They all sound awesome in the video

The Pro was my all around favorite but they all sound great, Thank you for sharing!

Its official, I love them all with the Strat. Keep it up Johan, great work.

Well, friend... I must say I'm totally stumped on this one. They all sound SO GOOD! No clear winner here for me! Every one has it's thing and isn t necessarily well-rounded. Maybe the Twin? Anyway, great playing, and thanks for the beautiful demos!

Oh man I would love any one of these jems. Awesome guys .. thank you both.

I would love to test these amps out. I would hate going home to my humble set up after playing these. Great video as always Johan. Thank you.

I usually prefer a scooped (in mids) sound, but this sounded great!

Amazing video as always! Could you do a Blackface vs Brownface vs Tweed comparison video? Maybe with similar amps from each era in terms of wattage and speakers like three deluxes or three twins. That could be very interesting to hear.

Man they all had there own vibe and not one bad one ...62 Twin + Pro WoW

Concert, Pro, Vibroverb... loved these. But I do like the Blackface amps shootout video even better :D

I loved the Twin and the Concert amp best. Esp the twin- my whole laptop was vibrating!

'61 Concert and '62 Pro are so badass!

62 Pro and 62 twin for me. The concert and vibroverb were cool too. I thought going into the video I would like the Bassman more, but I didn't. Thanks for another fine video!

I wouldn't kick any of these out of bed. They all sounded amazing with both guitars. The Bassman just crushes with the Les Paul, though. So big, crunchy and clear. And I'm partial to the Strat with the Pro and the Concert. But all the other combinations are almost as good.

That Fender Pro sound amazing. Just Huge and both guitars sounded incredible through it. The Twin would be next. If that bassman had EVM-12L drivers, it probably would have stolen the show

Aw, man, I would have loved to hear the trem circuits in those that had them . Excellent tones all around, fer sure!

I had that Pro....it sounds exactly like that!

Love it! I just can't imagine any scenario where I'd be able to crank a Twin full volume.

thanks Johan. fantastic. love that concert.....

Love the vibroverb! Awsome video as always :)

awesome test runs...

Man, there's just something about early Fender combos with four tens in 'em that makes me weak in the knees...that '61 Concert sounded friggin' BRILLIANT!

Strat killer ! I love your videos dude! keep doing it !

For me it's the Pro.

Thanks for this. That Pro Amp sound sweet with both guitars.

Great vid as always. I'd LOVE to hear the reverb channel of that Vibroverb though. Even when the reverb is turned off, that extra gain stage adds something to the mix that makes it a little less "dry" sounding than the other Browns imho. Thanks!

now I want a vibroverb!!!

They all sounded great, the '62 Twin was my favorite but the Bassman was darn close. These amps were much more consistent in their tone than the Black Faced models from the other day. Today's choices were much closer than the previous Fender shootout. These Brown amps sound better as a group to me.

To me, the vibroverb and les paul sounds very practical to take on stage -- I especially like how it interprets those half-step octave slides you played. Which model do you suppose fits best in a typical live rock mix?

I just rewatched this and that 62 bassman wow

One of each please. Another great video Johan!

its hard to pick a favorite

I liked the Concert and Pro

The Pro and the Concert!!!

The Concert and the Bassman sound the best. I've never heard of the Concert but the 10 inch speakers seem to make it a bit brighter. Some of the other amps sounded good with the Strat but not as much with the LP. I guess that's expected, it could simply be the difference of speakers too.

Love it!

The concert sounded great but (for me) I love the Pro and Vibrolux tones.

My favorites were the twin and pro on les Paul.

That brown Concert kills. The 62 Bassman sounds far away and dull. I have a SS rectified 62 blonde Bassman (brownface) that is extremely aggressive sounding. I wonder if there might be something not quite right with the 62 in this video. I like the sound of that brownface Pro too. Thanks for another great comparison. Cheers.

Great video! I would want to push that Bassman with a distortion and play stoner rock riffs, it had a nice sag.

Can someone please explain why brownface amps don't get the attention like the tweed and blackface amps. How do brownface amps differentiate from other vintage fenders

Great! 6G16（maybe）Vibroverb!

All great! But the Twin with JBLs has the edge - early Johnny Winter-ish tone 🎶

Lots of different speaker's. All good tones!

great video! very accurate.

Nice demo,Silverface is next!!

I see you plugged into the normal channel on the vibroverb, should have played it with the reverb and vibrato. Maybe in another video. Thanks for spending thousands to show us how they all sound. I’m getting ready to build a 63 vibroverb with p12p speakers from 1958 and a set of triad transformers. I’ve got 6600 ohm primary and 5,000 ohm primary impedance triad output transformers. Which should I use?

The Concert did it for me. I own one and it sure doesn't sound as nice as that one!! Mine came with Oxfords but it sure doesn't have the awesome snarl this one did. What's up?? Time for a trip to the tech I guess.

if you and the other guy put out an album i wud wit in line or camp out to get one if it were the 30 years ago. he has sone very cool unique bends. your groove time is the bout best ive heard tho bro. thx for using a strat and lp kind to hear both worlds. and idvtou need me to further break i. that twin or concert hit me up👌

great tone as usual

The Twin and the Vibro are money. +JohanSegeborn I love your nature pics/videos on the one side of the screen, super rad and retro. Is there a quiet synth background that goes along with them? I thought I heard some synth in some of the quieter parts of this video

So far the Bassman has continued to be my favorite Fender amp. Twin being a close second followed by the Deluxe.

The Concert Amp and the Pro Amp stole the show.

Hi, Johan! Is that Jensen in Pro-Amp a P15N ? Wonderful tones!

Now try those amps with a different flowering grass, perhaps some flax or a yellow nut sedge?

Pro reverb 🤘

Hey Johan, what about the other five Brownface Fenders? I've been waiting three years!

Tweeds are great, these are even better.

1962 Twin all day!

These brown face amps are I think my favorite of any amps you demoed. And I usually don't even like fender amps.

62 twin + Strat 😍
