The best Fender Silverface

maui6120w - 12 Jan 2004 17:49:24

I really want a Silverface combo amp for Surf music. Witch one would
have the best surf tone?
Twin Reverb
Pro reverb
Vibrosonic
Vibrolux
Deluxe reverb
Also would you choose an early silverface model or a later model?
Any comments about this era of Fender amps is welcome.

Man, I've been playing the trading game with my local vintage amp
dealer and have finally settled on a 69 Silverface SuperReverb and
let me tell you.......she is so sweet! I recently had her recapped
and retubed and it's the best sounding Fender amp I've ever played.
If I were you I'd stay away from the Ultra Linear (mid to late 70's)
Silverface. I just had a clean looking UL 135 RMS Twin and the highs
were like ice picks in your ear drums. SuperReverb all the way!-

mono_tones_1 - 13 Jan 2004 03:43:35

what they said...
however, the 135UL models are pretty simple to mod into a 100watt non-
UL circuit, which makes it a pretty decent surf amp and gets rid of
those piercing highs.
It does however NOT turn it into a 100w twin, and is only recommended
for lame guys who
a) have not enough money for a decent amp
b) can get a beat up 135 twin for very little
c) suffer from severe soldering iron fetisjism
... like me.
