Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb Vs ’65 Super Reverb - That Pedal Show

I'm a 22 year old that's been a fan of the show for a couple of years now. One night my mom's friend who's been a professional guitar player all his life, touring all over Canada and Europe, came for diner and played through my rig. He wrote to me the next day saying "Man, can I come back to your place with my touring gear? I have to make my rig sound like yours". If that isn't the single greatest compliment a man can get, I don't know what is. Thanks Dan and Mick! (btw I'm running a PRS Mira flame top through a Hudson Sidecar or Broadcast -> Kingsley Constable -> Ecochord tape delay -> Catalinbread Talisman -> Strymon Deco into a Marshall JTM and a vintage Plexi-like Traynor in stereo)

[@ThatPedalShow]

YES! Tooooo cooool!

[@douglaslegnola2266]

Buddy of mine has a JTM 30 with the extension cab. Has a few great overdrives, modulations and delay and verb. Absolutely awesome tone. Plays a strat!

[@dhod900]

I’ve been playing 18 months Justin Sandecoe teaches me technique My guitar teacher covers theory / turning technique into music TPS teaches tone / amp, making music inspirational I reckon all three are just as important as one another! I remember my guitar teacher interrupting me recently to say “that’s one of the best strat tones I’ve ever heard”... AVRI ‘62->Sunface bc-183->Golden Boy->Page->Ardx20->V40D... I said that’s Mick and Dan!

[@JasonClute]

I bet anything would sound good into that rig but I’ve been gassing for a vintage cherry Mira core ❤️ Totally agree with your sentiment, TPS is a wonderful wealth of knowledge. I just wish it hadn’t taken me a few years to become a Patreon!

[@ronmercer7766]

Dude , that's quite the setup you have. Gotta love an old Traynor !

[@alexmojcher9]

The Super Reverb is undoubtedly one of the greatest amps of all time. It’s just incredible.

[@kenster865]

I have a lightly used '65' Super Reverb RI arriving tomorrow, Sept. 3rd, 2024, that I found on the Reverb! site. I had a real-deal 60's BF one back many years ago. Why I sold it I don't remember. At 72 I gotta do these things and get as much enjoyment from them as my years left are in small numbers. I also recently picked up a clean hand-wired Deluxe Reverb. IMHO it's far superior to the '65 DR being auditioned here. YEEHAW!! :)

[@justinrucker7059]

I think this video just illustrates that we need a video of a "fender timeline" 4 eras of the same amp. Tweed, brown face, black face, and silver face.

[@ThatPedalShow]

This would be great!

Great show! The Super reverb is a killer amp, but to loud. The answer is Vibrolux Reverb. 35 w 2X10. Just got my '65 back from service and I'm in heaven again.

[@Slaphitter]

Those amps overdriving naturally, no pedals, is one of the more beautiful sounds you guys have ever recorded.

[@ThatPedalShow]

I think I agree Frank. Mick here.

[@steverolfeca]

I would add that the Tube Screamer sounds pinched and nasty to me in comparison to either amp alone, clean or dirty. The Morning Glory or the Rat makes more sense to me, if you absolutely have to have a pedal on…

[@L.C.Sweeney]

I love the fact that they actually sound significantly different and the super isn't just a larger version of the deluxe.

[@SFolkes97]

Never seen a better example of why Blackface Fenders are icons. You guy's inspiration, soul, and fun factor went up considerably in this one.

[@donaldnelson8764]

The Fender Super Reverb is probably the best amplifier ever, but before you start yelling let me say, I am 74 years old and have been playing guitar for 60 years. I have owned or played just about everything and currently play thru a '67 Super Reverb in stereo with either my Dr Z Z Wreck, Dr Z Maz 18 or Dr Z DB4 and my tone is amazing.

Same. Much as the playing and listening is great, I'd get bored just watching more people playing more gear well on youtube. It's the discussion and knowledge sharing that makes it stand out. I don't want to just watch demos of gear if I'm not particularly likely to buy, but am still interested in. Discussion helps you get more of an idea of the "in the room" stuff that youtube can never properly translate.

Why on Earth I ever let my '65s go is beyond me. I've had the pleasure of owning quite a few over the years and personally playing, they are, hands down, my favorite amp for everything. Love the show, guys. Be safe. (currently using two Twin Reverbs...love 'em, but...)

My '64 BFDR is my grab & go and still kicks a$$ on a gig-by-gig basis. (If you know, you know.) I also have many other original amps I bought through my playing career. (to name a few - Tweed '62 Champ, 3 Tweed '60 Deluxe's, '68 Drip edge Vibro Champ, '62 Brown Vibrolux. and various others - THD 30's and THD Plexi's - All tremendous in their own right) Thank You Mic and Dan for an absolutely wonderful review of these two classic and dare I say, 'Legendary Leo' designs.

Thank you for this magical episode! I have watched it twice and looking forward watching it more in the future. I have just recently discovered Ronnie Earl and got obsessed with his music and his personality! I rediscovered Super Reverb because of him this time. Here is my list of players using Super Reverb: - Albert Collins - Derek Trucks - SRV - Michael Landau - Ronnie Earl (with a lot of Reverb and always on Tremolo) - Robben Ford (some times) - Dave Specter (with Archtops overdriven with some Reverb and always on Tremolo, I think) - Carl Whethersby (with ES-335) - Matt Schofield (before 2012 when he switched to 100 Watt Two Rocks) - Volker Striftler (With Tele) - Nick Shebelen (WIth ES-335 and Strat) - Tinsley Ellis

[@johnbrown1851]

Yeah, I kinda noticed that whenever I really liked someone's tone, it often turned out that they were playing a super reverb.

Great show (as always). I’ve always played a deluxe, a 68 silver face, and never played a ratt into it, definitely going to explore that!

[@skullstjohn]

I've been watching you guys for at least five years and I think this was your best video so far. I liked how you used "every day" gear and along with these Fenders amps (that one can buy anywhere), it gives us a helpful insight to finding a tone the fits one sound without a boutique price. Well done.

Great show. The Super really blew me away...what a sound! On another note, I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart. I just got my Radial splitter from Reverb yesterday. I now have my little spare room rig running wet/dry with a Vox AC4 1x12 (wet) and an Orange Crush 20 (dry). Awesome!!!

[@n_phaneuf]

Towards the end you guys describe why the deluxe is such a killer “pedal platform,” it lets each of those common (or garden) overdrive types speak with their own unique midrange character. Few amps do that as well to my ears. Also, wow the humbuckers, with their extra midrange into scoopy amps like these sounds magical!

[@bakkels]

Haha isn't it great we all have different tastes? Before I started this clip, I was sure I was gonna prefer the Super for cleans, and the Deluxe for pedals. Turns out I thought the Super handled those pedals _way_ better than the Deluxe. The clean tones were 50/50 to me. That really depended on the guitars they played and the settings they used. For my tastes and what I play, the Super (slightly) came out ahead. Sadly, both are way too loud for me to be of any practical use anyway. I need a bigger house. And less neighbours.

[@Glenn54321]

I hauled a silverface Twin Reverb around the music pubs with my band in the late 1980s early 90s...It was stupidly heavy but had a beautiful full clean sound...Pedals at the time were a Boss SD-1 Overdrive & CH-1 Chorus...My biggest fear was it breaking down at a gig, although it never did...I eventually succumbed to a Sessionette-75 2x12 which was a terrific little solid state amp for its time & less than half the weight of the Fender...Great show guys...Thanks so much!

[@NateSapianMusic]

Beautiful amps. As a Super Reverb owner and gigging musician (in Australia...luckily!) I think portability is a MASSIVE criteria here. I'm less inclined to take my Super over my Vox AC15 to most venues despite sonic preference. The Deluxe is more compact and convenient hence it being high on the 'next purchase' list.

Having my Saturday morning coffee with your sweet tones is always a great kick-off to the weekend. After a crap week and some mental whatnot, what a blessing to have such a chill reset.

Thank you Trane. Enjoy that coffee, enjoy this moment. I feel you sir.

21:17 looks like Mick has to have a wee with that little jig. Love you guys!

Shocking how COMPLETELY different they are when responding to gain or humbuckers. I expected a difference, but my word!

I'm pretty old fashioned, actually, I'll be 71 real soon. I tried the '65 Deluxe alongside my original 1966 or 67 Deluxe Reverb. They sounded amazingly the same. I left them on and just kept switching from amp to amp. I ended up buying the reissue to use at gigs. I really dig the reissue, so I'm not one of those guys that screams at the computer. Both fantastic amplifiers. Fender tried hard to keep the sound of the originals and I think they succeeded. Great video, fellows.

Brilliant guys superb show, I’m on my second, no... third watch and blown away with the super reverb amp, what a solid sounding amp and I agree with Dan re the Vox statement, the super holds its own and is true to what ever is thrown at it. Mick the drive tones were awesome and thank you both for throwing it out there. Thanks Mick & Dan. ❤️👌

Dan, you're playing at the start was fantastic. Always loved both yours and Micks playing and I think you've influenced each other. Awesome 👌

I’m a Tweed guy. Mainly my Tweed Deluxe and Low Power Tweed Twin. But MANNNN, that deluxe does a similar thing turned up.

Thank you for once again a fabulous show! I would really be looking forward to a year-ending episode where you just look back with a list of all 2020 episodes, and ask each other questions. What have we learned there? What new questions emerged? What gear was the real star of that episode? Where was the fun in it? Or some other formula of your liking (a wheel of fortune with questions, questions from friends in VT, ... ) This way, we could wrap it up together. I just love every minute of the show.

Having had a couple of Supers back in my days, and I have a '65 Deluxe RI now, I'll add just one thing: being at one time a fairly accomplished chord melody practitioner, I noticed that the Super made it difficult to hear the interior voices of chords. Years after forming this opinion, I was surprised to find an interview where Joe Pass said the same thing. Otherwise, a fine amp. Re: the Deluxe: I think it may be the world's most versatile amp. The one I own I bought primarily because the Strat neck/middle sound is an important one for me. I call it the "hollow/sparkle" sound, not "quack" tone. "Quack" I can see for playing funk rhythm, but otherwise, I play even jazz standard chord melodies with it. I think of it as guitar's answer to the Harmon mute: think late night, rainy streets, Miles Davis. Very untraditional, I admit, but it doesn't sound anything like "quacking" to me. And the Deluxe did that sound in spades. Why shouldn't it have? Fender invented it, albeit unknowingly. Actually, I had a Vox AC something for a while, and it did that sound even better than the Deluxe. But don't tell Leo.
