    Got a DRRI

    in Electric Guitars

    Posted

    Sounds great! I love Fender's reverb. Interesting enough, I bought a DRRI yesterday primarily because it's got a tube rectifier; I'm a harp player and can tell a big difference between silicon and glass when I hit my mic hard. I also just love the DRRI's beautiful tone and presence. I have a Traynor YGM-3 RI, which is a hand wired beauty with a closed back, and it's pretty sweet for harp, but I missed the bark of a sagging rectifier. But it's also pretty much an equivalent of the DRRI circuitry/power-wise (el84's vs 6v6's), and to be honest, I don't think there's much difference in attack between them with guitar. Either way, the DRRI is a sweet, sweet amp.


    As an aside, my DRRI is a limited edition, with wine tolex, straw colored grill cloth, Jensen P12Q and amp cover. Very pretty amp.


    Loved your playing, BTW.


    Cheers.

     

     

    I have been very interested in that particular limited edition. I have a Hot Rod Deluxe ltd ed. that has a Jensen alnico speaker, I think it sounds a lot better than the stock HRD.

     

    How does this compare to a standard DRRI? Have you played them both side by side?

     

    Any other thoughts about it?
