The strat in the brownface is some of the most godly tones I have ever heard!!!

The Les Paul through the Brownface is AMAZING!

The brownface sounds glorious! I have a Fender Vibroverb 63 reissue and it sounds more or less the same as this one. It's an amp I will keep forever.

Many you of don't realize how disciplined Johan is, because his real passion is playing amps quietly.

Hats off to Simon’s ballerina socks ;)

That brownface amp sounds heavenly :) One of the best tones of this channel

This and the EVH Speaker test are 2 of my All Time Favorites! This 63 really captures the SRV tone! I just bought 2 10” Jensen Alnico P10R speakers 🔊 and built my own cabinet. They sound fantastic. I’m using them with a 69 Deluxe Reverb

I had a 64 Vibroverb and tried many speakers vintage and new. The best was by far a JBL D130F.

Johan, you have this way of playing that can be either like a thunderstorm, or the gentlest sun shower. Also, love your choice of chords.

Dang, how different they sound! It's the blackface for me, which I realize isn't the popular opinion thus far. Great demo!

Now we gotta wait these 30 minutes... This will be even better than the Beatles guitars video.

The second riff segment that Johan played into the ‘64 was The best Les Paul into a Fender Tone I have heard.

Heaven in a box!!! Both sound AMAZING!!! Really can't choose a favorite.

The brownface breaks up nicer than the blackface. I think I prefer the 10s to that 15 as well. Really interesting comparison, Johan.

That is the sound!!!! All of your tones were killer.both amps sound different both performed great. You kick ass ! Cheers!

Would love to hear the two of them played simultaneously with an A-B-Y box. I would think the two very different amp tones would sound magnificent blended together... the best of both worlds. As always, great playing, Johan... always a pleasure and an education watching your videos.

Amazing amps... Both evoque an entire age of a bunch of legends! Cheers dear friend!

The 2 10’s 4 Sure Awesome sound 👍🔥🎸🦅

This is the Holy Grail for me, thanks Johan. SRV, love him or hate him, changed blues and brought a dying art back to the forefront along with all the greats that influenced him. Walked away loving the Brownface more, I guess I'm biased towards 10s....*side note---- Tommy is building me a Catulator for a clone i'm having built. I already have a BFSR by him with 2 JBLs E110s and 2 Celestions G10s, best SR I've ever heard. Thanks for introducing me to his work years ago. you da man

the 63 brownface vibroverb sounds great! amazing sounding amp

They both sound incredible!

Well done and thanks for sharing brothers! Great Vid! Being I grew up with these tones I'm still very much in love with Them! Be Well Simon and Johan!

Lot of great Richards/Taylor tones between those amps/guitars. Get your ya-yas out! Thanks for the video!

I used to a brit only marshall sort of guy but these vids of fender and other amps have taught me that there other great sounds out there.

Because of your channel I've come to the conclusion that I almost always prefer 10" speakers.

Love your videos. I prefer whichever one I’m listening to at the time...

Did not know there is so much difference between brown '63 and black '64. Thank you Johan!

Hi, Johan! Strat with "Brownface" is very bright, and with LP the sound is more ballanced. In the case of "Black Vibro" its not so much trebles. But when I think about the guitar with other instruments, maybe that's the best way. But the most fine is LP with the black Vibro. Fender always gives to the trebles more place. But maybe I am in LP mood today..:-) SEE YOU! Zigfrid

3:57 That brownface sounds especially wicked there. Fantastic.

Both Amps together would sound Amazing ! Low mids from the Brown- and high Mids from the Blackface😜

Love that Brownface !!!! Holy hell!!!

I am so jealous of you two. Amazing tones! Great video as always brother. God bless and rock o. 🎸👏😎

+1 for the Brownface - much more open and characterful

I love these old fenders and I believe the sweet tone (very slight break up) is largely because of those vintage speakers. Negative feedback eliminated can work to your advantage or against you (depends what your playing) as far as circuit design Euro vs. American, Awesome demo, thank you!

The Les Paul though the brown face 2x10 was magical!!

Very cool… it has that ringing nasal srv vibe to it

Love the brown amp Sounds warmer than the black

That brown face was just perfect. It sounded gainy enough to have sustain for lead, but it wasn't too much when just playing chords.

Pushed fenders are so much good. I love your blue strat as well sir. It definitely sings.

Both sound great...Another thumbs up for the 63 Vibroverb.

Both very good in their own right.

Sounds great! I heard that Alice Cooper tone too. Those Blonde/Brown 40 watt amps are some of my favorite amps of all time! I used to have one of those brown vibroverbs, I really miss that amp, the 2x10 supers are nice too. That Black amp really likes humbuckers! I recently got a '61 Bandmaster with the 1x12 tone ring cab, I still need to go through it and make sure it's tuned up and safe to run. I'm hoping it will have that Blonde/Brown 40 watt magic, pretty sure it will.

Loved it, but wish I could have heard it with a Tube Screamer as well.

that brownface sounds AMAZING!

Love the Brownface!

I love the overdrive on the brownface. They both sound good, but brownface sounds better to me.

Well, that settles it, you'll have to gig with both amps at the same time. I imagine the combination would sound killer especially with a Strat. Awesome video once again! Yes, sounds like Alice Cooper.

I'm in love with those Brownface tones!

I have a 1960 fender Vibrasonic without reverb but I do have a 63 fender reverb tank and I think I get very close if not spot on SRV town when I use a tube screamer. Especially.

Strat and Brownface ALL day long, for me.

Both amazing riffmeister! Awesome.

That les paul + brownface combo is immense Edit: how does your R9 compare to the real deal? I'm sure you've been asked a hundred times but I've not seen the answer

A Strat tuned to Eb and run thru a ‘64 Vibroverb is magic.

The 63' brownface is majestic and is the Fender sound in my mind! The blackface sounds great but more like a VOX to me.

Both sound great, but I'd have to go with the brownface, that amp sounds amazing!

The Amps are fabulous, especially the 63’s for me. But the guitars... 😱😱😱 oh my god ! This strat 🤭🤤

Is it bad that this is a video about a fender amp, but the most excited I got during the video was when I saw all the vox amps against the wall🙃🙃

I really love the 63 2x10 ^^ you re really lucky to try those amazin stuff. Thx

Brilliant 🙌🙌🙌🙌

Anyway those Fender amps sound so awesome in fact every amp you guys get and play sound amazing loving it just want to play them with you guys laying down some Rhythm and some leads would be a kick let me know if you can I don't even know any of these messages even get through or if it's even possible to hook up with you guys to play thanks

The very first riff in the video I liked that had that stevie ray vaughn vibe you mention

The Bürsten and the Brownface Sounds awesome 🤘

Impossible to dislike!!!!! Great

This truly an ultimate dream tone

I loved the video, but if I play the same type of riffs with both a custom shop Les Paul, and a 62 reissue American Strat through my 1964 Vibroverb I get a totally different sound. It all sounds great, just never would have guessed yours would sound so different.

Amazing! Thanks my Friend, cheers!

I had a '64 vibro-verb I bought new for about $360 at Yuill Music in Heron, Il. I sold it in Evansville In about 1994 for $500. I had not idea of it's value. But,,,,,,,,The amp was so clean you couldn't do anything with it. Nice amp but very tight in it's lane. I am sorry I sold the amp but only because of the money.

The brown face has that SRV drive sound perfectly. The price of those has just lept again

wonderful amps really...my taste go on blackface for clean sounds and brown for dirty. Thanks Johan

Yes, the Lester through the 63! Killer!

What struck me as much as anything was that the dimed Brownface had a slightly Supro tone to the overdrive.

the brown one is so good

Loved the Strat tones, definitely SRV like. Both sounded good but I think I like the Strat paired with a Fender amp a little better. Both amps sounded great too, hard to decide if one is better than the other. Not sure why people are making that comparison. They do sound a little different I suppose, but it’s sort of hard for me to tell.

give me that 1 x 15" speaker ANY time over the 2 x 10". Bass is authoritative, awesome. But man that '63 sounds awesome too!

Slammin'!! Who cares about Alice Cooper, Stevie Ray and Hendrix is what matters! Yeah this was kickin' with both guitars and amps. I need to get one of these, either a 63 or 64 amp.

So, Oxfords in the 63, big alnico 15" in the 64.Big difference.Biggest difference is the small OT in the brownface which puts out about 28w and contributes to that grainy breakup sound.And the Oxfords break down quite quick somost swap them (mine has Eminence GA10s) 64 SRV w tubescreamer is probably killer but i'll keep my 63 brownface.5751 in V1/V2 instead of 12ax7..

60 with that 63 oh my. But they both sounds fantastic. Seems the blackface sounds a little better with the buckers.... What say you Johan?

Both sound fantastic. I thought going in I'd prefer the blackface and strat, and I love with the les paul and the brown face a little more.

Wonderful amps! I tend to prefer Blackface Fenders, but in this one, the '63 Brownface has absolutely astounding tones. Very harmonically rich with overtones, and just the right kind of overdrive. The '64 seems a little bit thin and narrow by comparison. (Which might be just the thing to sit in a band mix.) The clear choice is to use an ABY pedal and run both, with the Blackface set cleaner, with more reverb and just a hint of tremolo. Meanwhile, the '63 is set dry and full tilt. That would be some godlike noise. Great video, as always. Only one question: what's going on with Simon's feet?

Ah there is that 63 strat I want as well. Something about the blackface just has that extra mojo. I like the LP on the brownface more and the strat on the blackface. The attack on the brownface is great but the fullness of the blackface is amazing. Have to say I am impressed by the brownface overall.

I really want to come hangout at your place. Will bring beer and snacks

Boy that 63 sounds really good compared to the 64.

The Strat with the Brownface is awesome, but in the Blackface sounded to me quite shrill, the Les Paul sounded better in the Blackface, but i think that in the Brownface sounded too compressed.

Yummy tones with both guitars... sounds like early aerosmith with the les paul.

superawesome especially the brown

Always loved a 15" speaker, once had a Fender 75 with a 15" Jenson speaker in it, wish now Id never sold it :(

The Strat through both amps is a rock solid groove! Les paul is cool too of course..I have been wanting to hear some of these amps. I think maybe it is a tiny bit better with the 15", maybe.. I still have not heard one in person though, just on here..How much would one of these go for in $? Is the re-issue supposedly with the Stevie Ray modification good, better, or worse, than these? I have not seen that one for sale either..it seems these are kind of rare.

The brownface, of course, has more midrange. Both are fabulous amps. I have a '66 Super Reverb with a 1X15 and it sounds quite spanky, let me tell you. As does, my '64 SR that is loaded with a mix of Weber speakers!

That brownie sounds great

Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme used an old Brownface Vibroverb into 4x12 Greenback cab on Extreme's album Waiting for the punchline. I think it was one of the best guitar tones ever recorded!

Amazing tone! What mics did you use?

sounds good thru both. I think my CyberTwin has both in 'my amp collection'. Been almost 2 years since its been played thru.

If you still have the 63, would you mind taking the bell cover off one of the speakers and measuring the magnet diameter and thickness? I am trying to verify if the reissue Oxford 10k5 speakers I have were built exactly like the originals. Mine have a 3.5" magnet but believe it should have been 4" like the 12k5 in my 66 Deluxe Reverb. I really appreciate any help!

Hi Johan great video. Just one question does the 1964 blackface vibroverb that you're playing have the preamp on V1 changed with a 5751 tube, as SRV amps? It reduces gain in about 30% compared to a 12AX7, and as consequence increasing headroom.

Sooo good! Love it! The brown face seems to have alnico speakers and the blackface seems to have square back ceramic magnet Eminence speakers. IMHO the ‘63 brownface had such a creamy mid tone that was so much better than the ‘64 blackface. I wonder if there were significant circuit changes or if it was all speaker differences?

Mine has a JBL130 speaker and sound totally different , more glassy if that makes sense

Yump'in Yimminie! Does amps sound so gooood.

brownface is really sweet...…. maybe because 2x10 instead of 1x15 I assumed.

KZfaq should let all us play the songs of are life without restrictions !

Nice, these sound great. Prefer the blackface, just more attack and bite. I've got a 64 Super Reverb Blackface and it's just amazing...would love to add the vibroverb and a vibrolux blackfaces to the collection.
