            This is my 1970 Super Reverb [blackface electronics] and my '65 Reissue Super Reverb along with my VHT Special 6. Love these amps.

              Dude, that is a beautiful beautiful set up. Totally dig the sound of a semi hollow through a 65 Super!

                Dual Super Dang Tastic! Running both close to flat out would be a sort of religious experience.

                  I know my sound. Gibson semi-hollows and Fender amps. I'm a sucker for 10" speakers too. Gotta love it. I've only run both of them simultaneously once and it was as close to the void of God as I could probably get without my head blowing up. Wish I played places big enough to make using them possible!

                    Are you serious? I own a '66 Blackface bassman, but have littel to know experience with it ( while awaiting a recap) and from have just only payed it a few times before taking it out of service, I thought the forte of those Bassman amps were thier Ovedriven Crunchy sound, which was great as all getout..but I don't remeber much headroom or great cleans compared to say, a Pro Reverb or Dlx- although the Dlx is prone top break up earl;y as well like the Bassman.

                      They get good cleans too. They actually have more headroom than both the deluxe and pro because of the 50w transformers and solid state rectifier--also gives them more low end. In fact a common Pro Reverb mod for... again more headroom and low end is to put in a bassman transformer.

                        BF Bassmans will crunch up if you really crank 'em...

                        This clip shows a BF Bassman, cranked wiht a Les Paul and no pedals...



                        However these amps are loud as hell by the time they sound like this.

                        So, a lot of guys use them as a base for pedal driven dirty sounds...like this clip.



                        The amp that really made folks think crunch and bassman at the same time was the tweeds but the BF sound and the tweed sound are worlds apart...
                        If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

                            Pair of Super Champs. The main one I use came with the speaker replaced by a Celestion G10S-50. I have put late 50's RCA blackplate 6V6GT's, 12AX7 and 12AT7 in both. Rated at 18w but surprisingly loud and with great headroom, partly due to the SS rectifier. Classic blackface tone, but with a lead channel reminiscent of early Boogies. Last of the point to point Fenders.

                              What color is that Tele? Faded white? Tinted white? Desert sand? My Esquire is Desert Sand, and I've never seen another except online.
