i played this at a local shop and loved it. it has nice cleans and an overdrive tone that i love and can use. it says on the site it uses two 6l6's, seven 12ax7's, and a 12at7. am i correct in assuming that the 6l6's are used for the clean side and the 12at7 is used for the overdrive channel?

Re: fender pro reverb
The 6L6's are power tubes that power both channels.
The 12AT7 is most likely the preamp tube for the reverb. It's a lower output tube than the 12AX7 and is most commonly used as a reverb driver, though it can be used in other preamp positions, too.
I would go find out for sure, but I just did a search for someone else and it sucked the energy out of me...lol

Re: fender pro reverb
From the Fender Pro Tube Series, I think the Concert Reverb is the best sounding version, w/4-10's. Luckily, new Fender amps depreciate in price quite a bit, so you can score a used one for around $800. These amps have the best highgain circuit Fender's ever had, so the gain channel can be used for a vintage flavor, but also do metal pretty good with Duncan humbuckers.
Pro Tube amps have tube driven reverb and tremolo, so tha AT7 is a driver for one or both. Also, there's a removeable plate on the back of the amp, so you can bias the amp yourself with a voltmeter, without even having to remove the chassis. I wish all Fender amps had that cool feature!
I had a Concert Reverb for a couple years, and it was a great sounding amp, especially after I retubed it with GT12AX7C's and Svetlana 6L6's.Originally posted by Boogie BillI've got 60 guitars...but 49 trumpets is just...INSANITY! WTF!
