Re: RI '65 Deluxe Reverb Amp needs help...

Gavin Ehringer (windanseabeachboy) - 15 Oct 2004 20:02:45

My 2 cents - and worth every penny!
I am partial to Weber VST speakers, especially the AlNiCo California 12s with
paper domes.
These are pricey ($185), but worth the money. They are basically a JBL D120F
replacement. They may be a little too clean for your needs. But Weber makes a
bunch of
great speakers, and if you call or write Ted Weber, he will even advise you on
how best to
achieve the sound you want. www.webervst.com.
One reason I went for the '65 Twin Reverb Reissue Custom 15 was because I was of
the
same opinion about the stock reissue Twin Reverb. The big 15" Eminence has more
bass
and more overall warmth.
For a cheap fix, you might try putting a TS 808 or TS-9 Tube Screamer in your
signal
chain to add a little warmth. I use a Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde overdrive,
basically a TS
808 coupled with a metal-type distortion with separate controls and a separate
stomp
button. This two-pedals-in-one allows me to shift from no effect to slightly
dirty drive to
massive grunge/punk without a notable difference in volume. Very cool and
handy.
I'm sure you will get a dozen different ideas on this from others.

See this post in context.
