No channel switching? Buy the Fender A/B switch box. It works.
Bit tense on price ????
great now i need a deluxe reverb …
The frequencies coming from that Allesandro, I would swap the speaker out for a Mojotone BV30V. Gets you a tad closer to what the 67 is doing as far as gain.
I really like the sound of this amp but I only play at home- not at a venue. Can you recommend a tube amp that will sound nice, clean or overdriven, at lower volumes? I've only owned solid state amps up to this point.
Bad overdrive tones… there's no definition
All them pedals for what? Is it to hid the fact that you can't really play that well. The second kid started off ok then bombed. Just use the amp only. ????
Why is it necessary to have 85 pedals on board? Keep it simple. Maybe a wah, distortion and maybe a modulation of some kind.
Thanks! I' ll go back a ff through to that point!
Call me old school but can you just plug a guitar into it. Whats with the complicated pedal board? Just saying… I own a one. They sound great but let'em hear the amp
A good deluxe will deliver a Myriad of excellent tones. I used to pack a good overdrive, chorus, and delay and play many churches, festivals, weddings and worship sets, and the deluxe never let me down.
on the gain setting the vintage sound more scoop and the Alessandro sounds with a mid hump
How cool to see Andrew Garfield talk about his Deluxe Reverb and journey to buy it!! ????
Genuinely though – well done guys. Beautiful amp ❤
How are you getting that gain breakup?
And yeah, it's not really close… lol
Sweet video boys! Great amps
Man, love me a fender deluxe reverb! Just can’t beat it! One of the best amps I’ve ever played. Wonderful playing, Mates! ????
I get what you are saying, and I’ve probably never played this precise amp, but all the fender amps I’ve tried very high on the treble end.
Thank you for this very thorough comparison. I thought the ‘67 original sounded much better. Would be interesting to add the Fender blonde Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster to the mix and hear your thoughts. I’m using one on our worship team and am happy with the lighter weight, DI out and attenuator functions…but there is nothing like the original mid-60’s blackface Fenders.
Id love to see you guys get your hands on some synergy stuff.
30:40 the reverb is on 3, not 0
I miss my reissue so much, I need to get a Fender for my channel when I do reviews for that Fender clean
I won't play an anp without an effects loop live.
My guitar tech matched my Fender Supersonic 60 to a 66 he owns. We swapped out the Vin 30 and reverb tank and matched the tone resister for the mids (that has no pot). I run Genelex KT66s and gold pin preamp tube throughout. It sounds just like the '66. Great amp.
My 30th Anniversary Marshall 6100 is even better. Its Green clean channel is the best clean Marshall has. The Amber channel is the sweet spot. Again, Genalex KT77s and gold pin preamp tubes throughout. I prefer the 410 cab with Eminence 65W speakers to the 412 cab.
that pedalboard looks heavy. also, something sounded awfully wrong with the reissue, maybe its the tubes, but that breakup did not sound healthy
Super cooll!!! Sounds amazing
Great amp. Try a blackface Vibrolux Reverb.
Very happy to see this video since I’m currently in the market for a Deluxe Reverb. So what are they doing differently with the 65 DRRI that makes them sound so different from the originals? Not everyone can afford a vintage or hand wired amp.
Are they really running that on 10 in that little room? In way bigger rooms than that putting it on 10 and sitting that close is… LOUD. From the lack of pain on their faces it makes me think there is an attenuator in the mix?
I bought the 68 custom deluxe reverb. The one no one likes. I think it sounds great. I also have a vintage silverface pro reverb, completely original, and my little 68 custom holds its own against it. Which totally surprised me tbh. I will be getting a blackface soon though. There's a guy 2 hours away who hand builds these and puts them in beautiful cabs with great speakers, adds an impedance switch and a couple of mods and they sound fantastic!
Am I missing the links to the presets?
I thought i’d heard a similar story about a 67’ deluxe reverb and a tornado on the truth about vintage amps podcast, sure enough it was Riggs and this amp.
I had both a 1964 Deluxe Reverb and a reissue. I listened to them both with the same speaker and could tell no difference.
What's that blue guitar with the tortoiseshell pickguard? It's very cool.
You got a huge pedal board!
Also the idea that you think one fender amp sounds better than another is probably just the preference for the tone stacks and the feedback and the rest of it.
C'mon Riggs! sounds great man!
I would love to hear this thru a 4×12
Brent Mason says that ‘67 Deluxe Reverbs are extra special. I have a ‘67 and it is incredible. I think he may be onto something!
Wow. MasterPiece Amp
Guys amazing video I also love my Fender deluxe but the question is how you guys can stand be side the amp with volume 6 it is so loud please tell me the secret
Great video, the fender deluxe Reverb, sounds better, but both great amp's great playing guys
