6g14 without reverb?

The reverb seems to add a lot and would love to hear it stripped away leaving the bare bones of the showman amp tone. If i had the chance to hear the tone before and after the 6g15 reverb is added would be amazing Top

(I also have a 6g8A and it sounds almost identical to the 6g14A.) The A circuit is very clean and mellow, whereas the 6g14 is raw and beefy, and noisy. Someday I hope to get a real 6g14, but for now I'm using a Carl's clone. It set me back about $2200 a few years ago, and I am over the moon with its tone. The tank definitely steals lots of freqs, too many for me. It also dirties it up. So I use the 6g14A for reverb (which sounds brilliant because it's a little too clean by itself for me), and the 6g14 for the clean. You are dead right about that in my opinion! In many Phantom Surfers songs, the lead has barely any reverb and those are the tracks that have that insane tone. Yep, 6g14 is way better for me than 6g14A. I kind of suck, but what types of recordings are you looking for? I could possibly help with this, but again, I suck. I can only play my own songs, and not that well...

Im interested in single notes , chords anything Maybe a “e minor” seems to be a good surf chord - no pressure Top

I’ll throw something together. 48k WAV not mp3 of course - strangely one of the only places I hear a big change from WAV compared to MP3 is in cymbals and the surf guitar tone! I would really love it if multiple people sent you stuff because I am very curious how this Carl’s amp sounds next to a real 6g14. — Daniel Deathtide Top
