That you still own?

I think I'd have to say my '65 Deluxe Reverb. Just a little
cleaning and normal upkeep and still sounds great.

Everything listed in Fender's 1965/66 catalog.

Oh yeah...my '65 Super Reverb. But it would be my '59 Harvard if we could expand this to one we used to own!

+1

I think, hands down, the best sounding Fender amp I ever owned was my '67 silverface Super Reverb. I was an absolute fool to trade it in on a Dual Showman.

+1, mud!

The AB763 revision (for all the amps that Leo designed around it) is the most legendary of all Fender circuits. I don't think anyone has ever been able to improve on it.

I like the Super Reverb, too. However, to play at semi-sane levels I like the Vibrolux Reverb for 6L6GC combo amp:
