I'm Torn - Peavey vs Fender dilemma

Never underestimate the power of a Fender Deluxe Reverb being smacked in the pre-amp with a Rat Distortion, or a MXR 5150 for that matter.

I just tracked heavy guitars in a world class studio with P90s and a Fender Deluxe and Fender VibroKing

and it totally jives in the mix with humbuckers and a JCM and JMP from the other guitarist in a way that multiple humbucker and Marshalls would not.

Man this thread got weird....

You wouldn't expect anything less from us ha!

I've heard a Fender M-80 red knob rack mount head into a 2x8 that sounded phenomenal.

Kicking a Fender can give some great untypical sounds for a Fender. I spent a couple years in a hard rock band using a Strat into a Twin. Celestions in the Twin, a Dimarzio X2N in the Strat, and a TS9 in the middle.

Re the topic, the PJ is a good amp, but I prefer the crunch with the PV Classic series. More “British” sounding to my ears. But if I had to plug into a PJ, I’d be fine.

I have 2 amps in the living room.

But do you have a television?

I do, but it is usually playing a nature videos or a fireplace from YouTube. I don't watch a ton of TV.

 

[LesStrat]

If you don't watch TV, then having amps in the LR is no big deal.:arms:

No, but have heard that it isn't much better than the Capt. Marvel movie, if that.

Also, it's way easier to make good crunchy British Marshall sounds with pedal into a Fender than trying to make American Fendery clean tones with a Marshall. -so if versatility is important thats a consderation

It depends on the Marshall the DSL (2000, 40, 20) have a Nashville clean setting that is a direct lift of the Fener tone stack.

-haven't ever had that amp or tried that setting -sounds cool!

It is actually the clean voice of a 1959 Plexi, which has a lot of the Fender Bassman DNA still in it.

 

[jeremy]

right but a tweed bassman doesnt sound much like a bf fender reverb amp. the bf amps are much more scooped than the tweed variety. i do think marshalls can sound good clean, old jtms and super bass models especially, but a plexi can do nice cleans too

I honestly don't think the Blue Marvel sounds bad. I only replaced it in my C30 because i got a great deal on a pair of Celestion UK Dogs.
