I could go on for hours about how much I love it...There is not much
to dislike about the Super Six if you like it loud & clean. I
actually like the master volume fenders better; it gives you a
little drive, but only when turned up LOUD (mine's a '77 135 watt
master volume, & I keep the pre on 10, and i use the master to
control volume, which is the opposite of how most use the MV. ).
Thats a hard swap decision to make,
I would go for the Six to get the headroom and volume. In my
opinion, these are the ULTIMATE Fenders.
Would you keep playing your outboard reverb, or would you use the
amp's reverb? I like the dark, thick, almost sad reverb tone of
silver face amps, as opposed to the drippy aggressive sound of the
outboards (although that rules for palm mutes!). The amp's own
reverb makes it more swampy.
For $849 it should be in damn fine condition, as the going rate
seems to be about $600-$700 for decent ones. I would think that your
current set-up would give you some bargaining power if you wanted to
swap (being blackface and all...)
My Quad reverb needed a new cap or two,and a new driver tube, it
doesn't squeal now thanks to Tonecraft.
Let me know how you decide;
