Today's Pick of the Day is loud, proud, and punchy as you could ask for... a 1966 Fender Super Reverb, with the original 10" Fender speakers! This blackface 40w amplifier has two channels, Normal and Vibrato, both with their own Bright switch - with lots of available control, one could see why this amp is a standard piece a lot of studios and collections! Trevor plugged in his personal left-handed telecaster to give you a general idea of what this thing sounds like!
Disclaimer: We're located in a very old building, which sometimes results in some dirty power noise - which you may notice a bit in this video. Good news though - we have a quality power conditioner on the way and should be on-hand in the next few days. Thanks for understanding!

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.

These things rock. I played one today and its LOUD! Very clean too.

@iansnyder274 4 года назад

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!

@Tonetwisters 3 года назад

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.

@iansnyder274 3 года назад

@@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!

And thats a super sounding Telecaster as well! Great video!

@gcvincent3989 Год назад

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!

@davidgraham952 3 года назад

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.

@Bbendfender 6 лет назад

I owned 2 of those at the same time. Probably the best sound I ever had.

@Tonetwisters 6 лет назад

Still blessed to have a 4X10, 1964; and a 1X15, 1966 ...

@rolux4853 4 года назад

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!

@Tonetwisters 3 года назад

@@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!

@anthonyrichard461 Год назад

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.

@Tonetwisters 3 года назад

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.

@detodounpokoOficial 5 лет назад

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 ...

@Tonetwisters 4 года назад

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.

@Tonetwisters 5 лет назад

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.

@AngryMuffinMusic 2 года назад

What microphone did you use for this?

@Tonetwisters 6 лет назад

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.

Why do people shake the guitar neck at the end of a chord?

@georgeelias8382 5 лет назад

michael romeo it bends the strings, it acts as a vibrato on guitars without a tremolo (this tele)

@qddk9545 2 года назад

Because there are no wanker stick on a Tele. It is so annoying that all presenters on RU-vid either wanks the stick or shakes the neck. Nobody does that in real life.
