Yea I’m thinking about getting one of these instead of an apartment

[@JDM1691]

You can find one for a great price if you look for it, all the time.

[@noahbergman7777]

Actually original super reverb dont cost a whole lot.

Brother, it’s not your guitar playing which is unbelievable, it is you. You inspire me to pick up my $100 guitar everyday and just keep trying. Your manner and lovely demeanour shine through any gain or reverb. Peace to you too 🙏🏼

Fender Strat into a Blackface Super Reverb is just the sweetest sound on earth. Bought an all original 1965 one year ago and good lord.. i dont regret it!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Sweet, the best year!

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

My favorite sound ever is a Tele and a Vox together. It is absolutely glorious. There's just such a "smoothness" or something to a Vox that that I don't feel like the Fender amps have but I still love the Fenders also.

[@rebmik5791]

I've got a 64 all original...... don't have the talent to deserve such an amp.......but I'm working on it!

[@corneliuscrewe677]

That Firebird just sings on that amp! Beautifully warm AND articulate.

[@marianosaab2694]

You deserve million subs man. From a viewer standpoint, I'd love to see you play a bit more, I love your content but I wish I could see you play longer.

Omg that's the best reverb tone I ever heard I was wanting to buy a 74 super reverb I now know I have to do it

Get ya at least a 72 non master volume

Do it! If you can. We only get one trip around 👍🏻

[@JustWatchreviews]

It sounds awesome! Great to see these old treasures land in a great home. Keep rocking!

[@williamthomas5780]

"Going well" means that that bridge PU is salvageable to me... I hope so for you. Such an amazing tone even with ancient strings which I so respect you playing the demo with out of respect for the old girl and what souls have put hands and heart into her. Stunned.

[@donovansproule6835]

I will say as a guitarist trying to learn and find my own sound. Mathew Scott is one of the few modern day guitarists I really look up to and steal a ton of licks from, so keep up the good work!

[@tonycannata7241]

Matt that amp sounds very alive and almost heavenly. But to be honest with you everything that you play sounds fantastic.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thanks very much Tony.

[@mafvosburgh]

Nice to see the amp working so beautifully now. I would have loved to see your amp guy’s restoration process, like how many pots he had to replace, but I’m kind of a nerd about that stuff.

[@MrKoladge]

Damn!!!!! That brought back a lot of memories. I had several of them back in my day.... love it

[@luwullewa]

Each time you tweaked the reverb from 5:08 on, my smile just got bigger and bigger.... what a wide full sounding tone and as for that reverb, man that Reverb, superb! Sweet spot hit at 5:23 and again 5:49! Just amazeballs!! Great vid (as always), and a seriously great sounding amp. Love it.

[@Soupslusher_68]

Congratulations on 100k, Matthew. Well deserved! Love the content

[@stevedowler2366]

Thanks much, Matt. I appreciate your recent videos of fixups and back-from-the-almost-deads!

[@daijones101]

The super reverb is my favourite all time amp. I owned and used Silver face version for about 10 years. It got a bit heavy to lug and I traded for 68 Deluxe reverb. Both great amps

[@patrickfoster4586]

For recording purposes the Deluxe is probably even better- but there's no substitution for 50 watts of all tube Fender power into those JBL 4x10's!!! The Super Reverb is basically a 50w Marshall half stack stuffed into a combo package! I LOVE mine!! (I've got a Vibrolux too for when more reasonable volume levels are called for...)

[@wmw4410]

You never fail to put a smile on my face whenever I see a video of yours come out. You are not my favorite content creator but rather my favorite guitar player, period. Over stevie, over jimi, over any of em. You have a god given talent and a hell of a sound to you.

[@bobross5580]

I have to say that this channel is great! Great playing, great content and great attitude! Very happy to have found this channel.

[@roncarter2188]

You know music is always been a big part of my life even before I really knew it was. And here lately I've been going through a lot of stuff including me and my wife and it has to do with some people with messed up thinking and actions and sometimes it's more than I can take. Thank God there's a wonderful outlet with videos like yours, thanks.

[@patrickfoster4586]

I know it's been a year but I really hope things are going good for you now Ron. I've learned from years of pain the best place to be is leaning on the Lord Jesus my brother. Cheers from Louisiana P[>

[@thecivilrightsguyintxk]

That amp sounds amazing! It’s your skills that really make it. I really enjoy hearing you play.

[@jakedibiase7404]

Friend of mine bought this amp from Matthew. He didn’t mention the footswitch in the Reverb ad and then it turned out he “sold it to pay for shipping”. The amp arrived with issues, all four speakers needed reconing, and the chassis had to be sent to Uncle Doug for repair because the tech Matthew had work on it did a hack job and the tremolo didn’t work. He got it back from Uncle Doug and it sounds amazing now.

[@leemurray4158]

Wait really? Why’d Matthew sell it like that?

[@JeremyBeut]

Your playing always compliments the beautiful sounds of the amps, I love your videos man. Thank you so much!

[@metalmig]

wow that reverb just wow

[@scottmanzo9311]

The firebird turned out so well. The amp is amazing, especially with a humbucker pumping through it.

[@buckgibbons6218]

So sweet and smooth. Doesn't hurt that you play the way you do. Awesome!

[@2dazetake]

It's almost like the reverb has a mind of it's own, and kicks in just at the right time, unbelievable spontaneous saturation, what a great tone,we love all things vintage,simple because technology hasn't aged very well, and we long for the days when the music was never going to get any better,then it was back then, again,thumbs up 😊👍

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Its pretty neat. The beauty of analog.

[@paulrawnsley3963]

Oh man. When you flicked to THE fender position and played the hammer-ons at around 1.53... it was over. So sweet, chimey but not harsh. Loved it.

[@chrisraatz6672]

quite the gem you found! Keep fixing the broken parts until you are totally happy with the sounds. It's got to be an investment. You and I never experienced the mid-60's , but you have a taste of what it was really like in that piece of history. Add a '59 Strat or an early sixties "anything" and you have 1000's of hours of delight under your fingers.

[@wannaberabbi9302]

That reverb is up on the list of most amazing things I have ever heard.

[@free_electron]

This one sounds a lot more raspy and bold - it’s got a lot of tonal character on top of the notes like it’s seasoned. It’s definitely amazing - you can’t replicate it in a new build - one of a kind tone. Killer find and glad you got it running!

[@alexmojcher9]

Beautiful example of this amp! I have inherited my uncle's, from production run #7 as per the sticker inside the cab. it's such a phenomenal amplifier. Funny story: he knows I've played guitar since I was 10, and after 18 years of playing he brings me into the basement because "your aunt is making me get rid of a bunch of stuff. You can have my old accordion speaker if you want it, but I don't know if it'll work for a guitar". He goes into a corner and wheels out a huge box shrouded in a fitted tolex cover. I see a little silver Fender logo glisten in the corner. I look closer and under Fender it says Super Reverb. I pull off the cover, and underneath is an absolutely pristine, mint condition Super Reverb. He's got a bag in the back with a full set of NOS RCA replacement tubes, the original footswitch is still connected... and if I hadn't taken it: "If you don't take it I'm either dropping it off for the church or bringing it to Goodwill, I don't know if you want something so big and heavy". I was like "I can manage it, Uncle, thank you!". And now I am a happy guy.

[@alexmojcher9]

Following up after finishing the video - My thoughts on your tone? Phenomenal. I switched out to a 3-prong cord and did a thorough cleaning, or what little was necessary at least, and can't speak highly enough of it. The tremolo is also SOOOO good on this amp.

[@paulsimmons5726]

It's always amazing what people have sitting out in their barn. Appears that barn dust must be a decent preservative for both amps and forgotten cool cars. I'm surprised all the tubes and capacitors survived the decades. Your Super sounds great.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

A modern day peace longing knight on a life-long quest to rescue and preserve for future generations the tools once used to express the sentiments that words alone could not describe. A noble cause indeed young Sir.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

Sounds mellower and warmer and dynamic than some other amps. Not harsh or overly brittle at all.

[@steverobertson7694]

Sounded great! Love the Super Reverbs. I bought a 68 in 92 that still had the tags on it and was clean as a pin. Not even any smoke stains in the grill cloth. Wish I still had it!

[@stevends3865]

That vintage amp + strat together with your playing's incredible, you found the gold!

[@Tungadunger]

That Reverb is so sweet, love it!

[@zeppelinfan9360]

Found an original 1974 Silverface Super Reverb with Master Volume in a pawnshop with original Fender Alnico speakers (like yours) and the original RCA tubes including the hard to find 7025's. Replaced reverb pan and replaced needed capacitors and resoldered necessary points. A 1978 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe with the mini-humbuckers gives an incredible clean tone with this amp; the Les Paul with the mini-humbuckers I believe is underrated. This amp brings my Gibson to life! My friends, Gibson and Fender can work well together. 😁🎸

[@samuelmazzotta8107]

YOU HIT 100K!! 🎉 congrats 🎉

This makes me regret selling my '68 modded to blackface circuit. Everybody loves a strat through these but a Les Paul Special w/P-90's through that amp was the greatest tone I've ever had.

[@jan-michaelnelson6571]

Sweet!!!!! Real, raw live music, much appreciation, keep it going!!!!!

[@blackiejames1843]

I have a '67 Super Reverb with four JBL 10's bought it brand new in 1967 put the JBL's in the cabinet in 1970. Heavy as hell but it is the sweetest sound I have ever heard. No amp comes close to it.

[@maddmatt55]

That’s an amazing sounding amp!! Playing your ‘59 Strat through it is that quintessential sound of the sixties. Very Hendrix sounding - glorious!! As usual your program lifts my spirits thanks for sharing. Love and Peace ☮️

[@wjewell63]

Lord that's a beautiful sound......

[@effdpaul1815]

I had quite a few mid-60s Fender amps ... bought when they were new or only slightly used. I'm a big fan of that era of Fender amps. I didn't care much for the old tweed amps. I needed a lot of punch for the big clubs I was playing. I wound up using a Twin Reverb for my workhorse Fender. I had a 130 watt Orange driving Altec speakers. Couldn't go through the PA, but that rig really cut through the big hall and 1,000 or more people.

[@pastormike396]

Tone was sick! Man! that sound was amazing! Sweet

[@blakef413]

Hold off on reconing that speaker until you 1) check that it's not the dust cap that's rattling 2) if not item 1, remove the dust cap and turn the speaker upside down and shake it to see if you can get what's rattling to fall out- often it's just piece of debris. Don't know about those particular speakers, but for Celestions the tone is in the cone and reconing kills them. Easiest way to remove the dust cap is to get an 90 degree angled scribe and repeatedly heat it, working it around to soften the glue and pry the cap away. To reglue the cap, Weldwood contact cement is nearly identical to the glue they used. It also can be a piece of debris inside the cavity where the spider is and you can use the same method to pry up just a 2 inch section, use something to wedge it open, and see if you can shake the debris out, then reglue.

[@stevedowler2366]

Fender amps seem to be the master of the warmer tones. And they still can give you that growl that is absolutely required on stage.
