Combo Guitar Amplifiers

Fender 1965 Super Reverb

Avg price: $2,141.99

The amp, though modified, was used on songs like "Holiday in Cambodia". A 2022 Premier Guitar rig rundown explains the process of Ray's Super Reverb conversion:

Ray’s guitar for the DK’s first singles, “Holiday in Cambodia” and “California Über Alles,” was recorded through a Fender Super Reverb (with an Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 Linear Power Booster in front of it). Shortly after those recordings, the self-admitted “science geek” tracked down schematics for Marshalls and Boogie amps and hot-rodded his Fender Super Reverb to have an extra tube channel, overhauling it to, essentially, a master-volume Marshall.
