Reverb Interview With Earnie Bailey

"For the In Utero recording, Kurt used his competition blue Mustang, his Fender Jaguar and Albini’s aluminum Veleno guitar. I know he used a Fender Quad Reverb with one of the tubes removed to give a distorted tone, and a Marshall Plexi 100 that Krist had also used for bass tracks." Steve Albini can be heard in this interview talking about these facts. https://youtu.be/MjI9IzPLvvw

Dan Auerbach's guitar tech:

This one has some reverb. It has a more Fender, spikey, trebley sound. It's a traditional so it's got a little more chime to it. It's on all the time. This one has two 25-watt Greenbacks and two vintage 30s.

In 2012 Vintage Guitar interview, Fender Quad Reverb was mentioned as one of Auerbach's touring amps.

"I have just one amp I like to record with—a ’72 Fender Quad Reverb. It’s like a double Twin with four 12" speakers."

Wow, that must be pretty heavy.

"Yeah, but it breaks up in the best way ... it sounds like Dick Dale on steroids."

Another interview with Premier Guitar:

But the koto we recorded like I would record my electric guitar: either through my regular setup [a Fender Quad Reverb] or with a DI, which I like doing a lot just because it sucks the air out and has that fingers-on-your-face kind of a sound. And actually, the bouzouki has a pickup in it. I think it’s a contact mic, so it sounds pretty awful, but if you blow it out and fuck it up, it sounds cool. The koto has a guitar pickup in it, too. I think someone hot-rodded that thing [laughs].

In this article, Kenny Hickey states that on the Type O Negative album “Bloody Kisses”, he used a Fender Quad Reverb amplifier, and stated it was “a product of [him] trying things out to see what worked”.

"Early photos of King show him playing a mid-Fifties Gibson gold-top Les Paul with P-90 pickups, which he used along with a Gibson GA-40 amplifier. Shortly thereafter, he switched to his trademark Gibson ES-345 guitars, cranked to massive volume through Fender Quad Reverbs." - excerpt from Guitar World's Freddie King lesson article.

Albert Collins is known to use a Fender Quad Reverb Amplifier, as evident in a user-uploaded photo on Imgur.

On September 13, 2017, a Fender Quad Reverb Combo Amplifier, previously owned by Ronnie James Dio, was auctioned by Julienslive. The amplifier, a 1975 model with serial number B14285, was housed in a rolling road case marked with "WT." and "DAVID WILLIAMS." It was valued between $800 and $1,200, ultimately selling for $640.

"Last night, I went to the Waylon Jennings auction preview at the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale, AZ. He is one of my musical heroes & I'm happy I was able to go. I was able to get a fairly close look at his main road amps. There was a Dual Professional in a custom cab with 2x15? JBLs with the set list still taped to the top of it! I've seen this amp (or at least the cab) in many videos. There was a blackface Super Reverb (post 64, 'Fender Musical Instruments'), a master volume silverface Twin in a custom cab, & 2 Quad Reverbs. I'd love to have any of them, especially the Dual Professional! There were also a couple TRRIs & an Evil Twin.

(...) One of two Quad reverbs....."

In this interview for Fuzz.se, Steve Cropper says

Do you use The Twin in the studio?

• Sometimes I still use my old Quad Reverb - I still use an old Fender Harvard with one ten-inch speaker sometimes, you can hear it on all the old Otis Redding stuff - it’s got a volume and a tone control, and that’s it. It works great for studios

In an audio interview on YouTube by EveryoneLovesGuitar, Jason Simon of Dead Meadow confirms that he used a Fender Quad Reverb Amplifier extensively for their first record. Additionally, a photograph from a live performance in 2000 shows him using the Fender Quad Reverb, providing visual confirmation of his use of this amplifier.

While Mac and Will discuss the possible whereabouts of vanished Bunnymen equipment, including Mac's Quad Reverb and Roland Jazz Chorus, and a Fender 2x15 bass combo (how can anyone lose such enormous, expensive objects?), Les tells the story of this double A-side, released in October 1980.
