Members Timmott Posted August 13, 2008 Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey guys, I'm looking to get rid of my Marshall TSL100 and I got an offer for a Super Reverb Reissue trade and I'm real interested in it. How do they sound? How well do they take pedals? Is there a different voicing between the regular and vibrato channel? Is it too loud for bedroom use? How well does it handle loud volumes? Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalfanat1c Posted August 13, 2008 Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 Answers: It sounds better than a TSL, IMO. It takes pedals ridiculously well. No. No. It's a Fender... it'll get as loud as you can stand it before it breaks up. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Timmott Posted August 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 What kind of distortion pedals would you throw in front of it? I'm thinking about a Tubescreamer or a Full Drive, maybe a Big Muff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LedZep1985 Posted August 13, 2008 Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 I own a 1972 Silverface non-master Super Reverb. It definetly has the best sounding cleans that I've ever heard. It sounds great with pedals, especially my Tubescreamer. I am able to get a very crunchy medium gain tone when cranking the amp all the way, and clean boosting it with the Tubescreamer. One thing that I realize is that the normal channel has slightly more clean headroom than the vibrato channel. The amp starts breaking up around 4. You should look into it, and hopefully enjoy it.

Members megajeff Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have the same amp as LedZep1985, a 1972 silverface non master Fender Super Reverb. It is a great amp! I am downsizing now because I am not playing with a band anymore and I am focusing on guitar design and production. So if you are still looking for a great Super Reverb, let me know and perhaps we can settle on a price that makes us both happy.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarcapo Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's a very loud amp. Way too much amp for a house or apartments. Great cleans. The distortion/drive is very Stevie Ray Vaughn sounding. They're great amps but pretty loud and heavy so really more of a gigging amp. Personally I think anything bigger than a Deluxe Reverb is too much amp for inside a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BusterBuster Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 I gigged with one from 1974 to 1977. it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members diddlybo Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 Too loud for a bedroom? Maybe not....if your bedroom is the size of a typical high school gymnasium. Its waaaaaaay too much for a bedroom. Absolutely one of the best amps ever but I wouldn't even consider owning one for anything other than gigging with a loud band.
