Here are my two

I also just ordered a 1964 Blackface Princeton. :rockon2:

That one is in excellent condition for the age. Nice. Drool

 

[Mr. David Severson]

It is in really good shape..I scored this one off a janitor from a mall I used to work in. It sounds fantastic. It didn't have the original speaker in it, it came with a old peavey square magnet speaker that sounded like a fart can. I put a revrend all tone in and it really opened it up:smile:

That Super and that Deluxe Reverb are great looking. I'd love to own a super one day if I lived somewhere where I could could actually turn it up.

that is my YSR1 custom reverb
i need to get better speakers in the cab.
i put in the LG because i see you have one as well.
what string guage are you using and do you have a specific setup for height of the strings and pickups? those seymours are fairly hot and i have been experimenting with different setups.

I use .11`s on all my guitars. I've since traded the LG in for an LG signature with Duncan buckers.

My new addition came.


This only had one previous owner. A real closet classic with the original RCA and Mullard tubes. Totally untouched.

80's Fender Super Champ. This is my pride and joy

 

[bolero]

Pual, does that super have a 15" speaker?

have never actually seen one of those, cool pic!

 

[Pauls2]

It has 2X10's - very clear, articulate and detailed.....but it can sure rock!

I just picked up a CS Nocaster and they were made for each other......the Nocaster is so responsive I can almost breath on the strings and they start to ring.

I've never experienced a guitar and amp become an extension of each other like these two. Leo got it right - right at the beginning!

[bolero]

nice!!

that thing looks totally badass...I hope you don't go & get it retolexed or anything !!

 

[gerald guerrero]

Sweet Home Al-a Baa-MA!.....Won'tchu Flyyyyyyy Highhhhh Freeeeee Bird ,yea! Just picked up this old mace head. 160 watts Hybrid. Skynyrd recorded and toured with this . This is styraight from the Horses mouth (Ed King).They dumped the Black widows from the L-4125 and put JBL's init though, and took the back off. Ive had the cab. for awhile, but just got the head tonight. More tone,mmmm, possibly. More power?...doubt it!!

No chance of getting it retolexed........People pay good money for bumps, tears and dirt!

 

[M_A_T_T]

Got two more to add.

Matt. I really think those old Fender units are some of the most rare and desirable gear left on the Planet. I would gladly donate my liver to research(not charity, they wouldnt want it) for that sweet sweet unit. You are very fortunate my fine Canadian friend!I think hose "verb units are going to skyrocket in value!!

 

[GuitarsCanada]

Nice units Matt. Very nice indeed. I would love to run into a few of those at a yard sale. :food-smiley-004:

 

[Jeff Flowerday]

Since I sold my Deluxe and I'm selling my Princeton I should really delete this thread. :wink:

 

[torndownunit]

Ya see, it didn't come with a tube chart. 1968 Princeton Reverbs have the same circuit as the blackface though. I have learned that through research on other forums. On the 'simple' amps like that they didn't change the circuit when they went silverface.

So technically, it really doesn't matter. But as you know it does matter to collectors if you ever went to sell it. I'd be curious if it's an actual blackface just for insurance reasons etc.

I have all the serials from the transformers etc. (which I heard are better to go by then the tube chart). If anyone knows about this stuff, let me know and I will PM you the info. I don't want to sidetrack the whole thread.

 

[Ripper]

Does it still have the tube chart attached inside> Is the circuit either one of these? AB868, AB1270. the blackface circuit was AA1164. Below is a tube chart from my Super reverb, which was a silverface but had the blackface wiring from the factory.

Don't rely on tubecharts to be accurate. Some blackface PR's had tubecharts indicating AA764 for them when the circuits inside were actually AA1164. It was common for amps to have the wrong tube chart in them right from the factory.

In regards to the blackface/silverface transistion, it took quite awhile for some of the circuits to make the change, and some made the changes in stages. The Deluxes and Vibrolux reverbs were some of the last to be completely silverfaced. The biggest difference was when CBS went to using crap quality drop capacitors. Changing those in a silverface to some good quality sprague or mallory makes a big difference right off the bat.

 

[Lemmy Hangslong]

I've got a pair or Amperex twin 6V6 amps with cast 8" Jensen speakers. They look like a suitcase and were made in 1954... I have to take some pics... I'll post them shortly. I've also got two matching reel to reel tape machines.
Very cool!
All are completly origional and in perfect working order... they need to be cleaned up a little is all.
