Critic Reviews

Classic Gear: Fender Super Reverb | GuitarPlayer

guitarplayer.com

The Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp is a revered classic, celebrated for its robust, room-filling sound courtesy of its 4x10 speaker setup. Musicians from blues legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan to rock icons like Alex Lifeson have cherished its dynamic clarity and smooth transition from clean to overdrive. The amp's signature blackface sound, characterized by scooped mids and sparkling highs, makes it versatile for genres ranging from blues to rock. However, post-1968 circuit modifications under CBS ownership diluted its tonal purity, making pre-1968 models more desirable. Despite later changes, Fender's 2001 reissue pays homage to this iconic amp's legacy.

In a YouTube video titled "Soundgarden - 1987-02-14 Seattle, WA" uploaded by pjvideoguy, at the timestamp 6:26, Kim Thayil is seen using a Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp in the lower-left corner of the screen. The amp's front square shape matches the characteristics of the 50W Super Reverb model. Additionally, a Fender Bassman head, which has 45W of power, appears to be placed on top of the amp. This setup was likely used by Thayil during Soundgarden's early live performances in the late 1980s and might have been used to record Soundgarden's first two EPs, "Screaming Life" and "Fopp."
