Vintage 1960s Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp

Bottom right, behind Page in this image you can see this vintage Super Reverb.

> What we ended up doing was dragging the guitar amps into the vacant room across the hall and recording in there. I was using my [Fender] Super Reverb then and an Ampeg Gemini.

SRV used this amp for almost his entire career to get a crisp and overdriven guitar tone, also in the picture of his setup.

As posted on Instagram, Joe Bonamassa owns a collection of 1962 and 1963 era Fender amps which he recalls have a chocolate color. Among the collection is a Super Reverb Combo Amp.

The Fender Super Reverb is mentioned in [this interview for *Guitar.com*](http://guitar.com/articles/joe-walsh-lifes-been-good) - "That would go into a pair of Fender Super Reverbs with four 10s, except only one top. I would connect the other four 10s to the external speaker jack, so that I was using one top and eight 10s. That way I had a spare top. I would put them on metal folding chairs that are about knee-high. Standing about eight or ten feet in front of those, you can actually move around and find different areas to sustain any note you want. It's also incredible because eight 10s pull the impedance of the amp down to like 4 ohms, and that's where you really get your sweet sound -- when the amp is screaming before it blows up. My other favorite thing is a pair of [Vox AC-30s](https://equipboard.com/items/vox-ac30-guitar-combo-amp). That is tremendous for Fender guitars. The Super Reverbs are tremendous for humbucking configurations, like on the Les Paul."

as seen on the photo

A Super Reverb can be seen at 0:25. Also, in a 2005 interview, Brownstein stated the following: "For most of the record, I used a Fender Super Reverb from the ’60s." (http://innocentwords.com/sleater-kinney-discusses-dark-politics-distorted-sounds-in-recent-album/)

According to Premier Guitar, Skolnick's Super Reverb is rehoused in a Mojotone head.

from Music Radar: "Contrary to popular belief, he was constantly looking for ways to brighten the sound. His strings were, in the words of Russell Malone, "cables!" - 0.014 to 0.058. His choice of amp fluctuated between Fender Super Reverbs and Twins, before he switched to a Standel Super Custom in the mid 60s."

According to Premier Guitar, Zappa uses the Fender Super Reverb amplifier.

> On the ballad, “Christine,” there’s a ’74 Fender Super Reverb that has a really nice low tremolo effect.

Again, lots spring of reverb.

This is from the Johhny Cash TV show in the 1960s. He's plugged into a Super Reverb. He played these in his early career.

In this early photo of Television Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine can both be seen plugged into blackface Fender Super Reverb amplifiers. While there is a slight chance they are using the unpopular and short-lived 4x10 blackface Fender Concert it is highly unlikely due to the rarity of that amp compared with the ubiquitous (and superb sounding) Super Reverb.

In this blog post, Matt's Gibson Les Paul is seen hooked up to a Fender Super Reverb.

Kirk claims at 1:08 in this video he has used the Super Reverb historically

In the October 2008 issue of Vintage Guitar, Steve Cropper said that "Later I moved up to a Super Reverb, and I think the mic was a Neumann U-67. That’s on all kinds of stuff, like “Soul Man.” But on “Dock Of The Bay,” I brought my old Harvard back to play the licks – which, of course, Otis never heard."

In this video from 2000 you can clearly see that Jason Simon is using a Fender Super Reverb.

According to Instagram post by Lightbody, he uses/used the Fender Super Reverb.

"Sometimes, if I can’t get those, I’ll use a [Fender] Super Reverb or a Deluxe Reverb together—I run two amps in stereo. But Magnatone is what I'm using right now."

In this photo, which shows Gallucci performing with The Murder City Devils, two amplifiers can be seen behind his back - a vintage Fender Super Reverb and the unknown, possibly 1x12 Fender combo amplifier.

> For amps, the liner notes for 88 Elmira St. cite a slew of tweed and blackface Fender beauties, including a ’63 Vibrolux and Super Reverb, a ’58 Twin, ’64 Deluxe, and a ’58 Bassman, many of which had been beefed up with bigger transformers.

> No. We recorded the record ourselves, so it left us a lot of time to experiment with tones. Once we recorded the bed track, when I was doing the guitars, I set up a whole lot of amps in a room. I had my ’73 Marshall Super Bass, a HiWatt Half Stack DR104 and a Fender Super Reverb from the early 70s. I also had a Supro Thunderbolt from, I think, 1966 and a bunch of other little amps: Silvertones, Fender Champs and stuff.

Hole's equipment was listed in an article dating from 1993

at 0:10 Dan mentions his vintage Super Reverb at home which is actually a silver face Super Reverb but he has toured with other vintage Super Reverbs when in Europe as he mentions at 3:28 in the video.

> Well, the band helps a lot in the tone department. And believe it or not, I’m not too big of a gear person at all. I’ve just got a bunch of Strats, I’ve got a Tele, I’ve got a couple of Martin and Collings guitars. I play through a Fender Super Reverb, and that’s it. No pedals, no nothing.
