Really nice demo of this pedal!

"Pedalboard Culture." LOL! Now _there's_ a band name!

Love the getup. Brown suit to match the brown amps. You're keeping your grandpa alive with that. That is a perfect sounding Vibrolux. That Weber Alnico suits it perfectly.

My '64 6g6B Basman isn't blonde. It's not as yellow as the blonde and it doesn't look at dark as the Vibrolux. I've been calling it blonde though. I sent you pics via FB.

No doubt Warren is one of the best ever especially on slide. Your gear is my favorite, something about a black telly, bassman with a champ back up and coily cable 👍

Dude, where have you been?!? Hope to see some more videos!

Very nice and melodic playing. You really display the dynamics of the setup.

hell, it could be the rich man’s dumble too, with the prices of those things….

Love that Telecaster! 🤩

This is definitely the most under appreciated guitar channel on KZbin. I for one love the no setup approach where you dive straight in without treating the viewer as a retarded kid who needs a long explanation of the obvious.

Tremollux.

This stuff sounds so good it's ridiculous ... guitar, amp, playing. Holie Molie ...

GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU.

I went down a brownface rabbit hole and found your channel. Boy, I’m glad I did! Awesome man!❤

Ever try the rare 3x10 bandmaster?

Awesome demo. Just got an amazing deal on a tuxedo Princeton in mint condition. Only this is it’s missing the power tubes. What’s your go to 6v6?

Maybe my favourite song ever. You nailed it.

Thanks for this awesome content, man, from a fellow brownface fan.

Hey Austin, how's it going? Every once in a while I look on this channel for more, maybe new, videos like this one.

Dover Drive is probably also called it because its an (d)over drive pedal. Seems to be a great sounding pedal, went ahead and bought one - apparently theres like 4 or 5 different version of it.

Count the pre-amp tubes. If it's blonde or brown and has 6 it's got harmonic trem. Unless it's a vibroverb.

Love Howard....awesome guy and guitarist 🎸

Justin Trudeau signature series

great video and you win the award for the best dressed video review I have ever seen 🙂

On the brown face amps, the vibrato varied the bias on the output tubes,, later designs in the black face era, the vibrato varied the signal feeding into the grid of phase inverter, using an optical coupler design, The design change was to save wear and tear on the output tubes, and to help stabilize performance. That’s why the brown face vibrato sounds better,

you look like a brown face amp

Love my Super. Great tone, no doubt.

Marc ford formerly of the black crowes uses one of these. Im chasing that late 60’s clapton and beck tone. Beano and truth sound. Have a 90’s les paul classic into a 1974x need this pedal

I have to say that this is the best tone video I have seen in years. I had to watch it over again right away. I am a Tele/Fender amp guy. ... I can help those who have later-than-brown-face Fender amps and want this tremolo sound. The Kingsley "BARD" is bias modulated tube tremolo ("vibrato") pedal. It is not a simulator, it is the actual thing, with 270 plate voltage etc. The gut shot looks like an actual pre-amp/amp, because it is. All of their pedals are the actual amps, with magically compatible capacitance to be pedal chain friendly. I use this with my FDRR, and also with my '57 Custom Champ. It is exceptionally close to your tremolo tone here. The FDRR is a slightly different and more open flavour, and of course the "57 Champ is more mid focused tweed sound .:)

I bought one of these about 20-ish years ago. I think on eBay. Don't recall what I paid for it but I'll never sell it.

Have you ever tried NKT278s?

the clean tone reminds me of a blues jr

This pedal is amazing

Hi..Whats the year of your amp? Thanks

Thank you for your excellent and informative video! For me the Brown/Blonde era is the absolute pinnacle of Fender amps. I've found it's the perfect blend between Tweed and Blackface amps: just the right amount of breakup, definition and tightness - and so much tone! Also the looks are stunning all across the board. I have quite a few of them in my collection and I'm glad to share my view on them below. The 6G2 Princeton is a killer studio / session / recording amp with the most pleasant tube overdrive and a hypnotizing tremolo and can actually act as the single main amp on pretty much every gig if properly miked - been there quite a few times. At higher gain settings the tremolo - if engaged - actually steps out of the way when playing hard and it only creeps in the moment you stop hitting your strings. It's like having a compressor with a slow attack controlling the effect - very musical indeed! The 6G3 Deluxe on the other hand is a true mini-Marshall with ridiculous amounts (relatively speaking, of course) of gain on tap, and as I've read, the key factor in early ZZ Top tones. Paired with a Marshall 4x12" cab (or two!) it's a ridiculously fun rock'n'roll amp. It's funny that both 6G2 and 6G3 have a 2x6V6 output stage yet the latter really feels much more powerful. It has to do with slightly larger transformers and the fact that the Princeton is a 1x10" by design whereas the Deluxe uses a 1x12" configuration. Some Princeton owners actually have swapped their 10-inchers out for a 12" speaker. As for the bigger units, the 6G6 Bassman and its later -A and -B revisions have so much punch that it's just ridiculous. Especially the 6G6-B has that super snappy attack and delicious midrange roar that's been good enough for The Beatles, Brian Setzer and The Cardigans, just to name a few. It can stay reasonably clean for quite some time - and even when it breaks up, it's very very musical indeed. Because the Bassman has larger transformers, it seems to have more authority and bottom end than the Bandmaster even though they both share a 2x5881 power tube section. And speaking of the 6G7-A Bandmaster, albeit being slightly less powerful than the Bassman (40 watts vs. 50 watts), it is a ridiculously fine sounding amp with the lush Harmonic Vibrato circuit that's a cross between a chorus, a phaser and a Univibe - it's psychedelic, it's mesmerizing and just downright beautiful. Some might think it is a high-gain amp since there are 6 (yes, six!) preamp tubes. You'll have to remember though that three of them are dedicated to the Harmonic Vibrato circuit. Actually, if you're only using the normal channel, you can remove three of the preamp tubes. I also have a "Tuxedo" or "BFWK" (Black Face White Knob) 6G2 Princeton from 1963 that's a Brownface on the inside but a Blackface on the outside: black tolex and all. It's one of the later units from the time Fender was already transitioning to the Blackface era. You have to remember: Leo Fender never threw anything away, so while there were parts left, they built whatever they could from the remaining components - this is why you will find these interesting units, some better and some not-so-well documented. Actually the BFWK Princetons were produced for about a year. I'd love to grab a Brown Vibrolux just like yours one day, but the prices are getting ridiculous.... All the best from Finland and take care!

I also have a Analogman Sunlion W/NKT275 white dot (both sides) However I have had my tech (Bill Webb) here in Austin reverse the order (instead of Fuzz into beano I prefer it Beano into Fuzz) WARNING: If you decide to do this mod YOU MUST have a tech that understands working on EXTREMELY RARE, and heat sensitive...Irreplaceable transistors......But yeah doing this made it all the better than the stock (fuzz into beano) But do this mod AT YOUR OWN RISK.....Best to have someone that is VERY skilled with a soldering iron undertake this .....if not, best to leave it "stock". After all, these fuzzes are so rare and sought after that it is EXTREMELY hard to find another "Sunlion with NKT275 white dot (both sides Fuzz and Beano) to get an idea of what one might to ask as a selling price...even on "Reverb"or "ebay"....these particular fuzz/beano NKT275 white dot....just don't come along very often at all

You are one of the VERY few people that have an older NKT275 White dot Sun Lions (I have one too) and they are so rare that it is hard to figure out how much they are worth due to the lack of others that have one and are putting it up for sale.....You just don't hear of many that are around.... I acquired mine because I already had a Sunface NKT275 white dot fuzz and loved it so much..and was watching their prices go up over time....then i saw a guy selling a SunLion NKT275 white dot on Craigslist here in Austin and at that time he was already asking $500 (which was A LOT at the time but I had a feeling they were just going to go up in price (which they indeed proved to do) (PLUS I loved the sound so much I thought I should get a "spare".....now I'm sure they go for 3x that much. PS I did get Bill Webb (high end amp tech for Eric Johnson here in Austin to do the very same mod you asked Analogman about (reversing the order so as to have Beano into Sunface....and yeah i do like it a lot better this way....SO IF you can find an amp tech that you feel understands working on VERY OLD, FRAIL, SENSITIVE, IRREPLACEABLE Transistors such as the RARE NKT275 white dotted transistors you could have them do this mod for you...(of coarse doing it at your own risk) But,yeah I do like it better this way, so I thought I'd mention it. I've seen one other one on Reverb...But you are the only other person I know that has a Sun Lion W/NKT275 white dot (both sides)....Sure I've seen plenty of Sun face NKT275 white dot.....But never the SUNLION NKT275 white dot....so i thought i'd chime in

I have a BART/RCA and love it… such great cleans. I use it as a feedback enhancer for free jazz. How would you compare running both channels at the same time to a regular Sun face?

these brown amps are so fantastic. i’ve played through a few choice vintage ones, with the super being the best amp i’ve ever played. Now i have a clone of a Vibrolux, made for 6V6s instead of 6L6s, and with black panel tremolo. Got a pair of 10” Greenbacks in it. The 6V6s bring the volume down so it’s crispy clean but still midrange-y at home, and at a gig i can really get it going and have it cave in just a bit but still have it clean enough to play pedals through, and with those speakers it REALLY cuts through. Just magic.

Man, i really enjoyed learning from you. Been playing 60 years and three quarters of that for a living, knowing almost nothing about amps LOL The kast ten years ir so i e become obsessed with them and this was a pleasure to listen to

New sub here man, got to play a modded 50 cal plus head back in the late 80’s and it was like a Soldano and a IIC++ had a baby on steroids! One of top 5 best sounding amps I’ve ever heard. 🤘🤘🤘

Nice to see another Fender Brown amps fan! I've been fortunate to have owned a '60 Vibrasonic, '62 Bassman, and '62 Pro. I currently have a '63 Showman and a '62 Bandmaster chassis in a commissioned 2x10 combo cab (same measurements as a brown Super) made for me by Will @ Armadillo Amps in Texas. Also have the modern, handwired Fender '62 Princeton Chris Stapleton Edition - a fantastic amp in its own right. A worthwhile buy to find a used one if vintage amps are out of budget. Looking forward to more of your content, Austin!

I rediscovered my Dover Drive recently. I needed a drive that could give me that violin sustained lead tone from a Fender Clean with only one stomp. A friend said you got to try the OC42 version. I was able to pick one up and love it even more. The other guitarist in the band tried it out on Tuesday, and then wanted to first Drove Drive that I had on the board he uses for practice.

I just lucked into a cherry 62 deluxe. These are such incredible amps

The second and third amps I ever played through, were nearly new Concerts. First amp I ever played through was my brother's 1960 PRO. I am blessed to own a '62 Bandmaster in really good condition. I run it through a single 12 Mesa cab. I always thought a great stage rig would be a brownface Vibrolux and a blackface Vibrolux to switch between and/or run in unison.

Interesting video. My dad has a Brown Deluxe. I'm thinking 63. Bought it in the 60's along with on old Tele. Somewhere along the way he changed the grill cloth so it's not correct, but it sounds really nice. I've even played acoustic through it at lower volume and it was really nice. Anyone know if you can get period correct grill cloth anywhere?

This is THE sound. The perfect guitar sound for me.

I’ve got a 50 Caliber and I’m so in love with that tolex that you’ve got on yours. Did you do that or did it come that way?

First time I see your content. Bro, I legit felt like we were chilling in my living room

I know the run of the mill amp. repair guy do not like to work on a Mesa amp. at least the posts I have seen, and they show the insides of them.
