1974 Fender Super Reverb 6l6 45 watts , Reverb, Tremolo, tilt back legs, Jupiter 10" speakers...MASTER REMOVED...soon as i plugged in strat--hit 2 chords & ran a lead..instant SRV..sold !! Turned it off...tried the 59 bassman..,my jtm45 would eat it & spit it out.,,could tell it wont push through like an M would..cool amp but if you are used to Marshall..its hard to play a bassman. good amp tho for sure..lets pay homage to the circuit that Jim in England rewrote rock history with a few tweaks. Got this cause i have 2 challenging songs that arnt my typical range..first 2 chords -it got it. I just know this will rhythm fat & tight & M circuit will layer right on it...then Mrs BFT will have her space in the vocals.. great amp

Myth 1 busted...Too heavy...they aint that heavy..its a thinner width & with wheels..what a blessing picking up vs 4x12's all the time.
Myth 2 busted.. Cant play at low level....they do low volume extremely well(actually pretty hi fi like at low level) most say they are not able to..MV is even removed & its very easy to find a talking level tone

Marshall all the way for me but somethings are naturally just great at what they do..no forcing this bad boy..just let it do its thing74SFR (2).jpg74SFR1.jpg74SFR2.jpg74SFR3 (2).jpg74SFR4 (2).jpg

When i start play gigs 1979 i got one of this from 1977, crazy loud amp, but sounds fantastic, does this have the push pull MV ?

I remeber a gig In a Ice rink, we played in the pause for about 1500 people, had the volume of 4 and all asked me to turn down :)

Fantastic amp, miss mine.

Congrats

Thanks, it does, previous owner..only mod he did was remove master..i am so used to playing loud..this bad boy is tight at a great level, The tremolo channel is beautiful if not metallic shimmering at times...it so dif to my other amps... i needed this on purpose so i can do the things required in some songs..vs always going over the top bonzo..lol

You did not mention in the other thread that the MV had been removed.
That changes everything. You got a good amplifier. Enjoy it.

...and no, they are not at all that heavy for what they are and what they do.

Right on..think i hear a purity in the signal path..like a blanket isnt on it..first chan,my tech has something in mind..its gritty & the tremolo side is prob one of fender's best offerings-mo mods needed. played some surf music..lol..never did that before..those guys must of felt rad back in the day !!
