Members Radiohead625 Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 Im looking to build a big sound with a fuzz pedal, whammy pedal, delay, and tremolo. I want to create this sound at home and live. Sounds along the lines of Radiohead, Qotsa, Brmc, White stripes, silversun pickups, and maybe throw in some Rage. Should i go for a Super reverb reissue, Twin Reverb reissue, Bassman 59 reissue, or Deluxe reverb?(i dont get the big deal about these deluxes) anyway thanks.

Members rydia is hot Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 deluxe reverb probably won't have enough headroom or push enough air. the super reverb is pretty cool. for huge, clean sounds, not much comes close to a twin, though. i'd go for it.

Members Tag Intel Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I agree, the Twin is the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tkachuk07 Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 Only thing I'll add is many prefer their fuzz into overdriven amps & not super clean. A twin stays super clean till crazy high volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members triplover64 Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I got a Fender Supersonic - pretty versatile. Decent on-board overdrive. Put a good tubescreamer in front and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Radiohead625 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 cool... i was leaning toward the super reverb.. but thanks for the advice:thu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm pretty sold on blackface and earlier silverface Bassmans. The 50 watters.Great clean amp. Loud, but it's a useable volume. Not near as loud as a twin, and gets a little dirt when you crank it up. Takes pedals VERY well.And they are relatively cheap.

Members whiteop Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 Twins are very nice for cleans. Hard to beat, especially '65 Blackface Twin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gonfalon Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 +1 for a Twin Reverb... from my limited experience, they play very nice with dirt pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 i wonder where i could try a black face bassman? does it have reverb or no?No reverb on the Bassman, no. I use a Hardwire Reverb pedal with mine, but mine's a silverface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted October 26, 2009 Members Share Posted October 26, 2009 Put a good tubescreamer in front and you're good to go. I'd say either the Super Reverb or the '65 Twin Reissue. The SR sounds great. I own the TR. I also have the DRRI and the Bassman. The Bassman is nice but it's more of the "tweed tone". Plus it doesn't have the reverb or tremolo built in. I think I'd lean towards the SR, but maybe just because that's one I don't have. But with the 4 tens you won't have as much of a "flab" issue as you might with the 2x12. I like the DRRI, but it doesn't have the "thunk" of the TRRI. To me the DRRI sounds a lot like a TRRI cut in half, and I do not mean that in a bad way. And my TRRI does sound wonderful with a tubescreamer in front of it. For some reason I haven't figured out yet, my DRRI doesn't like that pedal.
