I love it too. It's a noisey amp though. I keep meaning to do a recap in the power supply.

 

You modded one didn't you? If I remember rightly let me know what you did and what you achieved.

 

Cheers

 

We did some mods to a couple, including taming the aggressiveness on the drive channel and installing a slope control. Also installed a boost volume control.

I forgot that we installed a Weber 12F150 speaker - a big improvement over the cheesy Fender Special design speaker,

Thanks. Appreciate that. The only reason I put up with the gastly orange on this FSR model is that they fitted a celestian speaker instead of the eminence crap F fit in the standard moder but the other mods are of interest. Cheers!

Nice! What tweed are you after?

 

Well, truth is I'm after a Fender, doesn't have to be a tweed.

Thing is I have very limited experience with them.

I really like the Princeton, and Blues Deluxe.

But to stay realistic I think a Blues Junior would do it for me, especially after hearing one last week in a small club. The guy was using it with a Custom Tele and only a boost for solos. Oh and facing the wall behind him.

A true thing of beauty!

Hahaaa!!!

Hmmmm....

At some moment's the guitar seemed to disappear under the bassline, the bass player had some Fender too, don't know...

Something bigger two twelvy, really loud. But whe the guitar was ther it was nice.

 

In the 90s the Blooz Jr was everywhere, and everybody said the same thing: "Oh man, this is all you need for even a big gig!". k so, I used them quite a few times and honestly I'da had to put the thing on my shoulder if I wanted or needed to hear myself. Start up the drums and bass and keys and forget it, it disappears. Every time. So sure, in some instances, fully mic'd to the front guys sure, it would work great. 90% of what I ever do isn't that.

I agree 100%

 

One of the times when my ac30 broke (lol) I borrowed a Blues Jr from my buddy in the studio next to us. The thing was just not loud enough. Especially if you want any kind of cleans at "band volume", it isn't gonna happen with that amp.

 

Fender makes a lot of good amps though CO Jones. Really depends on your needs. I'm definitely loving my Twin for its ability to be nice and clean at "band volume", but others may want something that breaks up at a lower volume

Here's my 1968 Super Reverb. Early '68 with blackface circuit. All original, down to the 2 prong cord (although I am having the court replaced).

Sweeeeeeet!!! Are you the original owner? I love Seattle btw best food ever

 

Weber's are great speaks. I have one in an extension cab.

Yeah I'm really happy with the speaker. I'm thinking about building their Revibe which has the early tremolo circuit from tweed Fenders and spring reverb in one box

Randall RD5 Diavlo, I keep this one connected directly to my interface since it has an XLR out and works great.
