It can even make my wallet clean.

Mans got a whole ass fridge for an amp

This is literally the epitome of strat tone, this is how they're supposed to sound

That’ll come handy when Im playing jazz for a whole stadium

Guarantee he doesn't have any clothes or bed or any furniture at his house, first thing he moved in was the amps couch and the 59 lol

'nice to finally have some peace and quiet' New neighbours who've just seen him move in this gigantic amp 👀

now plug a metalzone into it lol

You have found something that I have been trying to explain to amp makers for a very long time: 15" speakers are amazing for guitar!! The amount of air that they move is spectacular to the point of almost being theatrical. More, the speakers themselves are more than capable of handling the frequency of a regular guitar extremely well. Why no one that I've seen is currently making 15" cabinets for guitar is beyond me. Also, you mentioned how it is you are able to feel the notes. YES!! Quick story: the first time I ever saw the Eagles was in 1977. They had Community Sound cabinets flown from the roof of the venue and there was a bank of them pointed right at my chest. They opened with 'Hotel California' and every single note coming from Don Felder's 12-string neck punched me in the sternum. It was the most miraculous experience of sound I've ever encountered...!

I look forward to you bringing that out to a gig...specifically at a small coffee shop

Sunn used the same setup in a lot of their cabs. Same 15" JBL's etc.

Who else clicked when they saw the thumbnail?

"Eric Johnson wants to know your location..."

The amp is a Fender Dual Showman Reverb TFL 5000D, for those wondering

You look like John Frusciante for the first 24 seconds

Just came across your site and it brings back a lot of memories. I'm 70 years old and you never forget those sounds even 50 years later. I remember many nights sitting 20 feet from one of those stacks and my ears were still ringing the next day LOL.

love the "peace and quiet" emanating from some of mr fender`s finest stratospheric fidelity, coolness !

Just discovered your channel. Dude, much respect. I went down the road of wanting to be a professional musician exclusively too. I'd have massively regretted not trying. It didn't work out in my teens and early twenties. Had to work different full time jobs. Never time to write or record. All changed when i was 26, joined a highly paid and constantly busy wedding band. Its an incredible feeling to earn money from your passion. I have plenty of time to write and record my own tunes also. Shoutout to all the musicians trying to make it, or just play music. Stay hungry and stay passionate.

Man keep doing what you are doing! You are one of the greatest musicians I ever heard... You play guitar like crazy and your voice is awesome... I wish you were in my band for reals you have the vibes! =)

Wow, what a sound. Man... I cannot tell you how much I envy your whole gig, Matt. I am living vicariously through you.

Beautifully clean, ringing tone. Absolutely classic. The closest I could get was a Fender Dual Showman and a Marshall 8x10.

What a dream to have a house to be able to play through a monster like that, and not have the neighbors complain! Great tone by the way. And RIP Peter Green

Man could you do some more tutorials? I never fail to be amazed by your playing. Every time I'm in a SRV mood I tune in to your channel.

How is nobody commenting about your incredibly diverse skills? The subtlety of your licks and constant changes are rare. Most people master a couple and use them over, and over, and over, and over. It's actually fun to WATCH your playing prowess....like SRV.

Anyone else grateful he went STRAIGHT to playing and didn’t even like talk for an hour first.

0:50 "The peace and quiet for once." Wait...was that a quote from Matthew's neighbors? ;-)

Back in the 80s I was in a surf/ garage band and I was playing through a Fender Twin Reverb 2 head {Rivera designed 105 w, with channel switching} into one of the big Bandmaster cabs with 2 JBL K120s. I could crank clean channel so loud and stay relatively clean , that soundmen were always telling me to turn down ! The other guitar player in my band had a 400w Boogie bass head and a 4x12 Ampeg cab and my Fender could keep up no matter how loud he turned that boat anchor up. Never needed a distortion or O.D. pedal with that amp, the lead channel had great tube distortion at any volume. But for clean and loud, easily as good as this (great sounding) Dual Showman, and fantastic reverb as well.

who else just clicked cuz thats the biggest cab they have ever seen

My brother had that amp back in the 90’s(pretty sure he still has it) but his was a bass amp--he loved his though(-he played bass)

Makes me happy to see such a knowledgeable young person with the chops and love for the craft owning such rare and beautiful gear.

I could literally listen to you play all day man

That’s a great amp and if I were playing gigs I’d love to have one, but I’m just in the studio. In 1965 I got a fender vibrolux that had twin 12’s. Most had 10”s. That was a great amp.

It is very clean it sounds so warm to me as far as the tone I noticed that Please keep up the videos do a great job of it so you’re so very thorough and what you speak about

In one band that I was in our Hammond B3 player ran his B3 through a Leslie tone cabinet and/or a Dual Showman. Usually I played through a Twin Reverb, or a Marshall stack, or a Sound 40w combo with a 15" JBL DR-103. I still have the Sound amp. Most of the time now I play through a 1965 Blackface BandMaster with Eminence Legend speakers in the cabinet. A 1965 BandMaster is like half of a Dual Showman and some guys convert them to Dual Showman specs. The only thing that I've done to mine is tired component replaced and the speaker replacement.

You always reminded me of Rory in a way you know. Exactly like him, a really talented player and an easy going, humble, nice person, or as far as I see. Hope the blues-rock scene will widely recognise that soon! ;)

That amp sounds so good,and so clean.The strat you are using for this demo is perfect.What a beautiful guitar.

That sounds AWESOME! Combination of a great amp, a great guitar and most of all, pure skill. The magic is always in the fingers.

That cabinet has headroom even if you physically sit inside of it. PS: glad you kept the mojo pillows.

Peter green and Steve Howe came to mind when I saw it. It’s sounds great. Congratulations on the new home and RIP Peter Green

6:26 It's the closed back speaker cabinet. On open back combos the low bass is self-cancelling .

Love your playing on still the best amp foundation of our time. They are not easy to drag around for sure. I have a 1974 Twin Reverb that some of my professional musicians request when the come to town an play a retreat. Pretty much original

That section at 5:30 - 6:06 earned you sub. I love that sound.

Yeh, that's sweet! I am blessed to have a '67 Showman head, with a single twelve Showman cab loaded with an orange frame JBL in a tone ring; and a 2X12 blonde Tonemaster cab, loaded with orange frame JBL's; AND a 1963 reverb tank. Sounds pretty good, but I also need to take it to the doctor for upgrades, like new 6L6's, rather than the 5881's that just won't handle the plate voltage this beast puts out! Those JBL 15's are amazing guitar speakers, only rivaled by the original Celestion BlueBells, (totally different usages, of course).

Living in LA Im always jelous of the lucky ones who get to live out where the air is clean and you can hit the output tubes the right way and really hear the character and balls of an old gem, sounds great! Conrgrats on the new place! Dont ever tell me how big your yard is please.... TY

I had 2 different Twin Reverbs. One was a 1971 Twin. I had it shipped from the factory with two JBL D120 speakers. It was the cleanest amp I ever had at high volumes. My pedals never sounded so good. Your amp has a great tone. You are a very tasty player.

100% agree on the amp sim thing. They are getting really good at replicating the sound, but they can never replace the *FEEL* of a tube amp. A kind of feeling that can't quite be put into words or understood without just experiencing it for yourself. Nothing beats the pure guitar feeling of plugging straight in and being in a good sounding room with the amp as loud as you want it.

Two 71’ fender twins with the speakers running to marshall style half stack cabinets with four K120 JBL Speakers in each one, and specially built heads For the twins. Link with a Y chord. Super fender stack. Or use the showman head with a 4x12 cab (same JBL speakers). It’ll spread it out and reduce that ice pick sound and add a little honk

Loved what you started at 11.58, sounds like the beginning of a cool song

Just thanks for the enjoyable tones you give us Matthew!!!

The only thing that's "missing" from modelers IS the volume. That is up to the individual and their situation. Technology has blessed us with cranked tones at near-whisper volumes. Tones that are identical to the EQ of real amp/cabinet combo of your choice. However, nothing can substitute for volume. Especially in the "feel" department, and even more so when it applies to feedback.

My father bought the very same rig for me back in the early 70's......I had never seen anything like it....my first amp was a Gibson Skylark combo, and the Dual Showman rig was quite a "upgrade"!!! Sooooo LOUD and clean....but I wanted a "rock" sound....as in overdrive/distortion.....and with the Showman, all I could get was CLEAN & LOUD! Back in the early 70's, there wasn't a lot of pedals like there is now.....I ended up with a Big Muff.....with the amp, I'm sure it was a great "pedal platform".....but the 2x15 JBL's did not sound good with the Muff....but it was what I had, so I rocked on! Never had to worry about not having enough power to be heard!!!!

i love strats with a color like that ohhh... and those cracks on the paint are just gold to me

Killer playing and tones my man, and what a monster score on that DS! Keep up the good work!

With the Chuck Berry thing, a lot of it was to get a little extra money out of promoters. I know quite a few cats that used to play with him and if the venues didn't have the DSRs, they would be fined. He did totally like the amps and always used them in Stl because they just kept a set at the venue he had his residency, but he would usually use whatever you had. SIR in NY had a pair in house just for when Chuck would tour the East Coast because every venue along the way rented them for him. That's the tip of the iceberg for Berry stories, though.

the sound is so clean i didn't have to clean my room.

Man, it’s just a burst of joy to listen to you play. 😮

It sounds like a solid massive wall of sound. I really like your melodic stuff. I'm looking forward to hearing your album.

I'd read a long time ago that Clapton played Dual Showman's at the "In Concert" album (later released as an alternate version titled "Live at The Fillmore", different night) but the best pics I've seen show a pair of Sunn Coliseums into a Marshall slant cab. He did use Showman's during the D&D era, though. And Dick Dale claimed to have co-invented them with Leo.

fender also did one half the size, vibrosonic reverb, has the single JBL 15" same handwired tube setup. SRV used one. But I would have to say it also has a killer clean sound and also massively underrated as well

SRV would of wanted your 59 and that Amp..The tone is Unbelievable Brother..Love it..Appreciate all your videos, the first thing i do when i get home after work, everyday, is click on to your and see what Amazing stuff your putting on here..Keep it up Mathew, Your an Amazing musician and your Knowledge of these intruments keep me clicking on here everyday..thanks

Plenty of Saturation ... Signal to Noise ratio Superb ... Best of All , as the Attack Intensity entered into Decay ... Any amount of Harmonic Overtone driven Edge ... Rolled off Smoothly ... into Shimmering Warmth ... as it should Be ... Nice Refit ...

Be honest: that cup was empty wasnt it

”And when you die.. they can bury you in it” 🤩 cause it sounds like heaven.... amazIng tone! And playing!

Matt, i bought this setup here from a friend of mine, 20 years ago, the amp still has the original tubes, and it still plays well, my Neighbors know when i am home, LOL, These are very hard to find today, Rock on, Cousin Figel

Einfach Geil..Das Demo.👍🎸❤️😎und Du hast es mit viel Blues Feeling gespielt..Ich liebe auch Fenderamps und Guitars..Good Luck..Rudi..

Wish I could hear that in person I'm sure it sounds killer.

You should really get an LP or something with humbuckers in it for some of these demos as well. Don't get me wrong, the strats always sound killer, but I'd love to hear how humbuckers get that amp (or don't) to break up more than a single coil can. Old Gibsons through old Fenders are a magical recipe as well.

In my book, nothing can top the sound of a Fender tube amp. I have a blackface bassman amp, a 73 silver face Princeton Reverb, and a few more!! I love them all !! I have custom built four Stratocasters and have three older factory built Stratocasters to use through them. Keep on Rockin Matthew !!!!

I just bought a '77 dual showman. So clean, so powerful! So glad it has the master volume!

There's a person who built a giant Marshall combo into the side of their Tiny House. The difference is - this can be moved without remodeling your house just to get it OUT. Also at the top of the list of houses to move to: MUST HAVE LARGE DOORS

Always remember, Fender meant for the guitar to be played/recorded in a large, loud mix/band, rather than solo in more of a "Jazzy" Les Paul sort of setting. When you hear them in context, the "ice pickynes" becomes a benefit that cuts through the mix, in a good way.

Sounds really good bro. When you first started playing I could hear the jimi in that fender

That thumbnail is so freaking rock & roll. A man & his stack.

Alternate title: "the most expensive guitar tone"

Great playing, great sounding gear!

Man you are the tone Messiah, you bring back the whole thing.

My 71 Twin has a VERY similar tone. The cleans are tear-jerkingly gorgeous.

Disclaimer: Headphones on KZfaq...thing sounds awesome! It’s harmonically rich, and kills it with pedals. Cheaper option than a Two Rock? When I first started playing guitar, I loved playing my bass players Traynor 30 watt tube bass amp combo. 1 x 15 in a closed back cabinet. That thing was awesome for guitar! Old Pro’s, and other guitar amps with a 15 sound great. Speakers and speaker cabinets make a huge difference with tone.

He's like "now I'll be able to put out some better quality videos for you guys" and KZfaq ACC sound compression is like "sure you will, sure you will".

I don't remember the Strat sounding so good!!!!!!!!! Since the '60s EVERYONE used some sort of distortion and I never liked their sound because of that. Thanks for the enlightening playing!

I wish you could know how much I really enjoy your videos, they really feel like you're channeling steveie when you play. Very glad I subbed

When I hear pretty much any classic fender amp, I realize that they are just as good as any $7k boutique amp I’ve ever heard

Try dropping an xts atomic OD in front of it, for the stack tones Pete thorn uses one into a bassman can do Marshall and Mesa mark

0:00 goosebumps..i can swear i've never heard clearer sound than this

That’s a nice setup man! I love my Fender Princeton Chorus amp. It’s solid state but has a great clean channel!

It's guys like you who deserve to own and play these beautiful vintage instruments and amps. It is great to see them played as they should be by people who can actually play and who really appreciate them for what they are.

Welcome to your new home Matt! Hope it is all you hoped it would be and even more! Now, about your sound: yes, that is the cleanest Fender Amp/Cab combination I think I've ever heard. However: unless you have a couple of "hulks" for roadies to haul it around; you won't make it past your second gig without the services of an awesome chiropractor!!! I'm a Strat / Twin-Reverb guy myself; but the twin still isn't the lightest amp around either, but it beats the heck out of hauling around that Dual-Showman / Bassman 2x15 combo every other week! - Naw man, I'm just yanking your chain! - Although after watching as many of your vids as I have, my bet is you might keep the head and pair it up with a 4x12; but that 2x15 behemoth would be a monster behind your bass-player (and you won't have to worry about hauling it around anymore)!!! (Plus, on the positive side, you could always set up a deal with him to let you record through it whenever the situation comes up!) Ok; concisely, you're right, it's perhaps the best Fender AMP sound I've ever heard, but you gotta' admit, Stevie Ray, the "First Wife" SRV Strat, and that Vibroverb amp launched the sound that is still out there somewhere orbiting Saturn or somewhere! (You play amazing for a guy your age, and you've definitely got Stevie's chops, I just can't wait to see what you'll be pulling out of those fingers in another 3 - 5 years! - You keep it up, and you'll OWN the Texas Blues scene!) So... Here's to thick calluses and a set of "just right" broken-in strings! God bless you, Matt, and NEVER QUIT ROCKIN! - Just go for it!!! Footnote: I'm 58 y.o. and still jam almost everyday! (Or at least as often as possible!) 🎶😎

The clarity is, ( with headphones), pretty epoch, epic, and beyond epitaph.

I wish I knew more about Fender pickups and amps but the tones you get from this setup really sounds exactly like what most blues guitarists strive for. It just may be perfect.

I’ve seen Peter Green play his Les Paul on this one with Fleetwood Mac in Paris back in July ‘70 Danny Kirwan had the same setup. Awesome, powerful tone. You sure need space to play it loud…

There’s a difference between sparkle & clean so this is clean a twin reverb combo is sparkly this showman 2 x15 is dope

Twin JBL D130F or D140F speakers in a sealed cabinet is PERFECT..!! I have similar speaker cabinets from 1964 and 1966 with many different tube amps... Showman, Bassman, Vibroverb, Super Reverb, Vibrolux.. All TONE MONSTERS..!! SRV knew this so well..!

I think I literally just found an amp I know I truly want! Like ive thought ive wanted a few amps before but this is like ideal. wow. feels good.

I love this kind of fender clean, such a shame you can't get it in low volumes...

And Technically this IS a video of the "cleanest FENDER AMP tone".

Awww. ..i just love your vintage gear ..beautiful amps and guitars ..love it !! From Australia 🦘🦘🦘

You are good dude. I used to have a stack like that, but it had one crappy speaker. My brother in law gave it to me when i started playing. He had a Fender Twin Reverb like yours. He saw that i was using the cab he gave me, and the next day he came and got it back from me. I loved the sound of his amp. This was 33 years ago. I'm not very good and he's not much better than me. Your young, you sound awesome. Keep playing the beautiful music brotha.

Got to admit: you really captured this "loud amp" sound, and the playing was on point!

And I’m sitting here with my fender champion 20 😂. Really nice sounding amp with lots of highs and lows.

Love those vintage tones. Keep doing what your doing.

Nice sounding amp, Matthew. I have an old silverface Twin with orange JBL's and it's the cleanest, most beautiful sounding amp, I have ever owned. I also have some original blackfaces (Deluxe Reverb, Super Reverb, Vibrolux Reverb and a Pro Reverb which are incredible Fender amps. The beauty of the lower wattage amps, of course, is you can get them to break up at a lower volume, which makes them desirable for small venues.. Thank you for posting, I enjoyed both your amp and your playing.
