Super or Twin?

[Catmandue]

Of the reverb nature, which would be your poison of choice? Why? I like both myself but I have a 1976 Super 45 watt with rec tube. It dirties up quick but, there is still an attractive Fender clean there. The Twin more than likely stays sweet and clean even at greater volume levels from the ones I've heard at least. I got some TAD 6L6 type power I biased. I got it spot on the way I like it to sound.

It does. I have a Red Knob Twin Reverb and it goes louder than I care to use while staying sweet.

I vote for the Super, the Twin is just to clean and doesn't have the spank like a Super does.

Another vote for Super. I love Twins but they are ludicrously loud before they get really interesting - too much headroom.

I used to have a Pro Reverb, the 40-watt version of the Twin. Was a freaking magical amp; wish I still had that one.

Another vote for the Super, because is well, SUPER!!
I've never had twins, but I'd vote for that if I had the chance.

Oh, BeHave!

I'll take an off topic Mulligan here.

And I have no input of value for the OP; I'm a Tweed man.
So, the discussion of clean headroom is not usually Top of the Pops, baby.

No experience with either, but there's been numerous times now, where I've heard or seen very good players with fantastic tone... and it's usually a blackface Super Reverb.

never could warm up to any Fender amp...nor Peavey...nor Gibson...Laney...Randall or Hiwatt...and I tried them all. I sometimes play through a Twin Reverb for country work and its quite good in that genre...

I vote for the twin AB763 only the new reissues are junk. Still my favorite Fender amp is the 1960 Concert with the tweed bassman OPT and Astron capacitors.
Most of the Dumble ODS-100 amps that use a quad of 6L6GC use Fender Twin Iron.

There's one of these for sale at the local guitar shop...

Concert and Bandmaster tweeds are total bad ass amps.

That is a lovely amp. I really dig it.
