Hey guys, Kris here! First of all, check out Guitar Point for some really tasty vintage gear. Thanks for visiting us Simon! Second, this was not a dead serious, scientific comparison, more an interesting eye opener to see if these reissues are in the same ballpark as old Fenders. Important note: we were not using any effect pedals in the video. The pedal you see is a high-end true-bypass switcher, nothing more. Enjoy and let us know what you hear. 👍🏻

Interesting! I have a 1967 BF Super Reverb that sounds a good bit different than both of these. Where both here sounded sort of dark and muffled, as if the amps had a blanket over them, my SR has loads of top end and shimmer. While these sounded great, to my ear, they sounded very round and compressed compared to my amp that can be borderline piercing without taming the highs a little bit.

I'll guarantee that most opinions expressed here are from people who've never owned an old one, let alone played one that's set up properly. Electronic components don't 'wear in', they wear out. I've never been without at least one blackface Super Reverb over the last 30years. They always sound better with fresh, new, good quality caps (leave the blue ones alone!), NOS tubes and speakers that have been reconed or replaced when needed. Weber makes Alnico speakers that are easily as good as the CTS. There's no magic about those Schumacher transformers either. They are terrific but many modern ones (Magnetic Components from NJ) are as good or better. Sure, all of it adds up but a pine cab and that thin floating baffle vibrating together for 50+ years has a big effect.

C. P. There’s clearly a difference with the vintage having a more open subtle warm saturation (really glorious), and the reissue being a bit more stilted and lacking that killer slightly lofi sound that is so soft and dreamy sounds. But it’s not like the reissue doesn’t have a great sound, it’s just it’s own thing. The super reverb is something I’ve wanted for ages. Im wondering how much of that vintage mojo I can bring to the reissue with complimentary tone tweaking solutions
@c.p.1589
@c.p.1589 3 жыл бұрын
@@mantashaft In my opinion, the solid pine cabinet is really important. It almost gives a reverb effect. Next thing is the power tubes. The SR has a pronounced mid scoop and one tube, the vintage GE 6L6GC, is the only one to get. It's got a nice mid bump missing from most other 6L6 tubes that fattens up the sound. They last for years too. Other tubes especially vintage RCA blackplate 6L6GC emphasise the scoop and makes it harder to find a 'slot' in a band mix. The SR is possibly the most fiddly black panel amp to adjust tonally, but the rewards are there.

Or another pet peeve, when they do a demo of a Super Reverb but they only play it through a humbucker guitar. It's like, WTF? I've even seen a builder of boutique clones do this. It's like he actually doesn't _want_ to sell his own amps. If I actually had the equipment and resources to do it, I'd devote a whole channel to simply getting the _RIGHT_ kinds of comparisons/demos that people are starving for.

I didn’t think the purpose of this was to determine what to change on the reissue to make it sound the same as the original. I am not convinced I would hear the difference in a recording between solid pine and plywood. They may play differently but from a casual observer, I don’t think I can. Thanks for posting!

Currently I'm playing through a Tone King Imperial Mark 1 and a Dr. Z Maz 18 Jr 2X10 and the tone is Heavenly! But I have to say I really do miss my two Fender Blackface amplifiers and will never be able to replace them at the price they're going for these days.

These two amps have a name and some basic circuitry in common, but that’s where it ends. Just the speakers are completely different. The factory Jensens and the CTS alnicos are very different sounding speakers. Also, a close mic’ed amp with no stereo separation always sounds super harsh. No offence to those who put this video together, it’s clearly a great effort, but both amps sounded terrible to me in this video. I have a ‘64 SR and I’m quite familiar with them, and I have never come across one that didn’t sound phenomenal when dialed in nicely. Even the re-issues usually sound great.

If those things are set at the same settings, they sound like completely different amps. People in comments are suggesting subtle differences? What? I just think something is wrong. I have a Mustang 2 and a Bassman Tweed and the thing is, I have gone so many times to the Mustang Surf preset when recording. Also, if you look over the new solid-state Twin Reverbs, they do many tests where folks can't tell the difference. I guess what I am trying to say is if you mess with the re-pop, I would guarantee you can get whatever sound you want.

I would rather turn up the treble knob to get brightness and gain rather than relying on a fizzy thin sounding bright cap.

Also the new amp will blossom after many hours of playing but the old amp will die long before the new amp so it’s a false economy that you are demonstrating and what person in the audience can tell the difference in a band situation!!

Such comparisons are just click-bait and bare non-sense. A 50 years old amp has aged in all aspects, especially the speakers and electronic parts (condensers, resistors). The same applies to guitars where the magnets are losing strength. Additionally the production consistency was lousy 50 years ago. So the only conclusion you can draw from such comparisons is that the old amps sound different (most probably each of those due to different ageing). The talk about the "mojo" appears just as delusional.

These "reissue" amps that Fender keeps making are just a ghost of the real thing. Yeh, they might sound good. But how long will they last? And how glad will your amp tech be to see you coming, with one of those things? Players need to be demanding that Fender build handwired amps in the US that don't require a second mortgage on your house. Fender should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they aren't because they are too busy enjoying the money they make from this junk. THAT, from a player of 59 years, and owner of a '64 and a '66 Super Reverb; a '67 Showman, a '76 Twin and a '62 Bandmaster. Oh yeh, a '77 Deluxe Reverb that sounds incredible ...

There's a difference between 60 year-old speakers and brand new speakers...just sayin.

Original model sounds better. Reissue not so good

Sorry ...but I can't get past that guitar! Not good. That set up (or lack thereof) is heinous! The notes can't even ring out.

Reissues are fine amps... But this 65 reissue sounds terrible. It sounds like a blanket is over it. No highs no chime... just low end n mids no clarity whatsoever. I know the 66 sounds better in general sense considering an original PTP vs PCB reissue but it's not THAT much better. This is just night and day.

Could be the mic placement. Am not impressed of either of the amps.
