Nice, but Dumble seems a little better to me
No such thing as a best amp…. only what works for you
I just got one, and I can’t say enough good things about it.
Beautiful playing
If you want Fender cleans with good amp-produced overdrive in one Fender amp. The Supersonic is the ticket, not the Princeton. Plus, you won’t have any issues being heard live with a Supersonic since they share a similar power section as the DRRI. I’d love to see you get your hands on one if you haven’t tried one already!
I have a DRRI that I love and use. However, I recently acquired a Gen 3 Boss Katana Artist. The tones you can dial in are fabulous. Have to have tubes for great tone? Nonsense.
I hand built mine using oversized transformers and switching to a 40W 6L6 output with a Celestion Gold. Add in a 20db attenuator and you can accommodate most volume levels and tones. As for sound, there is a reason it's the best amp ever. It's because it is.
Your right bro , you sound great , but I think you are showing out a little bit , if I could play that good so would I , lol
Silver Jubilee 2555X
I heard it's unreliable
Whats the difference with this amp and the fender mustang GTX 100 on preset deluxe reverb?
I love my Roland Blue's Cube… at 30 watts.
It's great for mid-size shows and super dependable.
My Fender Blues Jr. previously owned was NOT reliable!!!
Tweed Deluxe and Brown Princeton are as good. Not the same but as good.
The volume and weight is why I have been playing the Deluxe Tone Master for the last 5 years.
I own a mesa boogie express 5/25 watt which has been my best friend the fact you switch it to 5 watt helps with home use
I went to buy the Deluxe reverb and while at the shop I tried the 68 custom deluxe reverb and I was surprised to find that I liked it a little better. But yes, I think this is the amp for all occasions. Great video!!!
Is it worth clipping the bright cap? I use an attenuator with mine on the normal channel and miss the reverb! Or should I just mod it to have reverb on that channel?
Maybe get a Tone Master. Same sound (or maybe a little different but also good) but without the reliability issues. I’m very happy with mine.
No. Best amp is the Hiwatt 4 hole DR505! Through either Fanes or EVM12L & EVM12S speakers.
I use mine with a Tone King Ironman II Mini Attenuator and it work very effectively. For me, (mainly tele and Les Paul) setting volume at around 4.5-5.5, treble around 7 and bass around 4 (ish to all of those) works wonders. Without the iron man, I agree, it would simply be too loud for pretty much any venue I’d play. At 4.5, it is on the cusp of breakup and it is just the sweetest sound.
All a person needs to do is play a DRRI for a few gigs to fall in love. But John, I have a suggestion for you–get your hands on one of the Fender Princeton reissues with a 12" speaker installed. Lighter, smaller, more reasonable volume….maybe the "perfect" gig amp?
If anyone is in the market for a Deluxe Reverb, I would highly recommend buying an actual 70s silverface deluxe reverb. You can buy one for basically the same relative ballpark price as a reissue. The differences in tone between the vintage blackface and silverface are in my opinion pretty negligible and the silverface nonetheless sounds incredible, while the vintage blackfaces are typically selling for $4k+. The main benefit of having the vintage silverface deluxe is that you get a handwired amp with the nicer transformers. Time and effort spent for maintenance on handwired amps is much more efficient which will cost you less in the long run. The amps during the 60s and 70s were built to an objectively higher standard. You would realistically be passing that amp down to your grandchildren.
I was always under the impression that it would break up at lower volumes than it does. You are bang on about the volume…..for 22 watts it’s mighty loud and has bags of headroom….sparkly high stuff. ???? i tried the new ltd edition Princeton Reverb with the 12” speaker and it sounded way loud enoughfor me. Mesa comparison is valid but when they need repairing….that’s when you wish had bought an easier to repair amp. A cheap Mesa is cheap for a reason!
For real vintage style electric playing like Hank Marvin Sleepwalk or Twilight Time (The Jumping Jewels), probably.
I've been on a long journey over 4 decades now and I have to say – for me – the conclusion is the Deluxe Reverb is the best amp in the world. Sure there maybe the purists who will say Two Rock and Alessandro and whatever and of course they're great. And if you specialising in a certain genre then other amps will do the job far better. But I hardly gig now (maybe 2 or 3 per year) so my new(ish)Tone Master Deluxe Reverb is perfect for me. Especially the "attenuator" (ok its really a master volume) which can get my usual live setting sounds but at bedroom/neighbour/wife (*delete as applicable!) friendly volumes and takes pedals just so effortlessly. "Meh…. it don't have an effects loop though" people moan. Its a digital modeller amp so you don't need one!
