I thought you were a Vox kind of chick. Why the change of heart?

'Cause a '73 Super Reverb makes a sound an AC30 doesn't, and I wanted to use it for a whole whopping one song. And only for the verses and one lead line. But dammit, I could. So I did.

Also, while it may be a Silverface, it's an early enough Silverface that it's a Blackface circuit inside.

The speakers were fucktup, so they were swapped out with recent production THDs in the very recent past. And they do sound good. Also, I have a Rode NT5 about ten feet back from the amp in front of a case of drum hardware, at ear level and angled down. Shure KSM27 LDC and modded Nady RSM-4 ribbon on the amp about four inches back or so.

I like the Silverface amps.

And yes, Fender is exceptional.

I want a SF Twin something awful.

Seconded. I almost bought one, but ended up getting my Blue Angel instead. I'll get around to it some time, consarn it.

I just never got a chance to mess with one in person I keep an eye out for them though.

I like my newer BFMV Twin a lot. Even if it does have a hum that won't go away no matter how I bias it.

They're pretty sounding and the powertube choice switch is utterly nifty.

I thought op was a dude.

He is.




Sort of.

Then he is doing something right.

A good many things right.

Last I checked. I figured my vocals were a dead giveaway on that score.

I'm also a complete goofball. Thus the thread title.

I have not owned a Fender since my Rivera era Super Champ. I believe this must change.

Also, manly-voiced androgyny for the win

Obviously you need a DRRI.

That would be a wonderful start, wouldn't it?

Actually, you might like a Bassman. Blackface.
