I couldn't be happier with the tone of this amp !

I did forget to mention that I played the entire clip on the neck pickup and so that kinda limited the range a bit .

I'll be shipping off the other pair of CTS to weber next week and that should keep me in tonal bliss for years to come !

Chris,

Quiet nice tone, through my Sony headphones (XB700). Are you using a stand-alone mike or the phone's mike? Can hear harmonics of the speakers interacting with each other.

What were the settings on the amp and guitar?


Thanks!

Tascam DR-05 pocket digital recorder Beemer

5 treble 5 mids and 6 bass
4 on vibrato and 4 on speed (to start)
reverb at 3 (to start)

CAUTION RANT BELOW OFF TOPIC

PS that great premier 120 I mentioned earlier in this thread was shipped with one layer of bubble wrap in a cut down used box, tubes were loose and broken and the circuit was damaged so its off back to the stooge who shipped it and I get to wait for my money ((( Thanks Reverb.com ))) !!!! :roll:
If you buy from there make darn sure its a seller with a lot of positive feedback !
:evil: :evil: :evil:
Dude its not rocket science ! ya gotta at least protect the tubes ! no retainers at all and the idiot thought they would stay in the sockets ! MORON !!!

So dumb to not to it correct, the first time. Maybe, the seller has never shipped anything that uses vacuum tubes.

I made a Youtube video of a HWY-1 2006 Stratocaster that I had just tuned up using my I-phone
Its the Strat through my route 66 Compressor side only into the Super Reverb.

This isn't an audition :roll: just showing what the guitar sounded like
A good friend laughed and said a piece of junk (guitar) would sound good through this amp
I believe he is right !

Chris, really sound good! Amp oozes clean, scooped-out mids, tight bass signature Fender tone.

Thanks, for the vid. PS: you have access to a Paul? Be interested in the tone that amp makes with humbuckers.

No I don't have a single Humbucker in the house :roll:
However if you have an old Les paul just lying around Steve, I'll be glad to give it a home 8)

For that era... I can only get this old '59 Burst, owned by some old geezer (only used in Church, on Sundays). Imagine! He named the thing "Pearly Gates." How unprofessional!

The combination is unbeatable for that golden drips of honey sound !!! 8)

Awesome knotty figure on that Strat. Like that background. Stratocaster and Super Reverb!

Ya Beemer I really like how they turned out too !
One dark purple and another dark brown so far, Deep Blue next !

I knew installing that wash basin in the basement would pay off :wink:

Funny thing about the Super is that i still have a pair of Groove tube 6L6GC's in there and I have two strong matched pairs of RCA's in the tube stash drawer, it sounds so amazing I hate to change anything 8)
