Members TomCTC Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Super Reverbs switched from blackface to silverface in 67-68 I believe, if you can get a real deal blackface vintage super, I'd hit it in a heartbeat. Though you can't go wrong with either of those amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted May 11, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 What did srv use amp wise, I never cared, but I bet he could have used a juice box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted May 11, 2013 Members Share Posted May 11, 2013 Dumbles, Fenders and Marshalls. Pretty sure he used both the Super Reverb and the Vibrolux with JBLs in it. Though I think instead of the 2x10 he was running a 1x15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'd go with the Super Reverb. Great amps! Yeah, they're a bit heavier and bulkier, but that's what dollies and casters were invented for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar dilemma recently--trying to choose between a vibrolux and a super--went with a 68/69 Super Reverb (drip edge). It has silver face looks but still has the blackface circuit. I love it. I still can't believe how much more I like the sound of that compared to my old hot rod deluxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I love the current Vibrolux myself. Sounds fantastic every time i play it at the local music shop. Takes pedals well, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alien Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Id pick what sounds best with my specific pedals, has the better speakers, is cleanest aka in the best shape,, is loudest, sounds the trippiest, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted May 13, 2013 Members Share Posted May 13, 2013 Both great amps. If you're going to be playing loud and running pedals through it, I'd go with the Super. The B+ is run lower on the Vibrolux so you'll get some aggression and breakup at lower volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted May 13, 2013 Author Members Share Posted May 13, 2013 Maybe it was the past brown ones- my friend still has one i should take a trip out by him and clarify. And yes the "twin" aka fender 4 input system typically has 1 channel/side without effects... But on the reissued vibrolux the sides are voiced differently (again based off the brown 90s reissue memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted May 14, 2013 Members Share Posted May 14, 2013 My first good amp was a drip edge Vibrolux. I have it and it still sounds great. I have a ton of amplifiers (old Fender, Marshall, Vox, etc... new Soldano, Fuchs, Mesa, /13, Bogner, etc....) and have owned a Dumble. All those sound different but the Vibrolux is a great amp if you're playing out or at home. I always liked them a lot better then Deluxe Reverbs and Super Reverbs are a PITA to move IMHO when you compare them. Some of the SF ones are actually BF models (the one I have is but I forget what the model number of those is). THat is what I would look for. YMMV.
