the power amp tubes are the second set this week that I purchased for it as well. Its the second rectifier tube I bought for it. When it happens the lights in my room dim. I finally came to my sense.Sparking- illuminating bluish/purple colors. One trip with a cart and I'm loaded in and will have extra time to gear up for the gig. And when you are an older musician, the big amps don't look so nice any more. Dang animal abuse thread keeping me up from being pumped up over it.Īnyway, in my very humble opinion, getting too much amp is a big hassle.
Not being able to push the tubes is a major drawback in many cases. Going with more amp than you need sets you up for the battle to tame your amp to behave the way you need it to. Get what does the job at hand and no more.

Even the big acts with full stacks all the way across the stage are not using all those amps. You'll scale back to a reasonable and manageable size amp and probably lose money on the original purchase of a more expensive amp.Īmp size (big amps) are a trapping.
And if you start out with too much amp, where do you go? And what sounds good at BR levels will generally disappoint greatly at gig levels. Bedroom levels are a far cry from gig levels.

For instance, I purchased a 1971 SF Twin for $650, played it for 7 months problem free (turning it on 3-5 times per day). Craigslist opens a huge door, and in the sub $1000 market I would be looking used. Although I recommend trying out amps in person if you can. Z based on internet clips and was also happy. I recently bought a Tungsten Amps Crema Wheat based on online video/sound clips and could not be happier. The downside is that trying out boutique amps before you buy them is not easy, as many of these internet-acclaimed builders are far off from their clients and don't have local showrooms. Brad Paisley mentioned how the amp is much more important than the guitar and I couldn't agree more. As the amp is just as much of an instrument as a guitar can be, and maybe even more important.
On another note, I think anyone who is really into and serious about their guitar playing already has an ear open and listening about guitar amps. When spending anything around $1000 I think trying to move into the boutique market wether new or used is a good idea considering the ease of maintaining handwired amps. It's difficult to really make a decision based on a price when one must consider the OP can possibly save a few hundred more and place him/herself in a different amp category. But at the same time, a great deal on a used super reverb could also mean simply saving a few more hundred and getting a good deal on an early silverface drip edge super reverb or something else early 70's. If you can get a great deal on a used super reverb then maybe I would say go for it. If for only the quality of the reverb! The real blackfaces have a very rich barley under the surface feel to the reverb that is just metallic and thin sounding in the reissue's. Unless you get a great deal on a used one it does not make sense to buy a reissue because, as mentioned above, the originals sound worlds apart. The Reissue currently goes for $1499.99 US Dollars. Further cementing what cyfer has posted above, I consistently see blackface era supers in the $1700-2200 price point on craigslist.
