A good pedal

Since this is the only delay pedal I have, I can't fairly compare it to the others. I like that I can adjust multiple aspects of the signal; all too often people rely on the built-in effects of an amp, which only allows for the adjustment of the delay and the time. I use this quite a bit!

Beautiful Workhorse!

An incredible 4x10 Super Reverb, but without the Reverb, and instead of a tube it has a solid state rectifier. Watch the treble - it will take your head off!

the concert's a BF bandmaster circuit with, I think, a 2ohm output transformer like the tweed bassman and super reverb.... I loved my similar bandmaster and matching cab. Miss her sometimes. You don't see a lot of concerts around. Very underrate amp. If you ever see a brown concert be sure to try it. It'll blow you away.

I didn't know they had 2 ohm transformers back then. I knew it was a bandmaster circuit because the oscillator for the tremolo started chirping and I replaced it. You look inside and you have to say to yourself: 'all this sound is coming from this?' There really isn't too much to those old circuits. Picked up mine on Fleabay as a Buy It Now about maybe ten or fifteen minutes after it came up. Definitely a barn find with all original speakers. Cost: 800$ plus 100$ for shipping. Swapped the speakers and tucked the old ones away safe and sound. A very underrated amp, I agree! Seen a brown one on CL up here near Boston from time to time. They're a different circuit, right?

Not as good a s a65, but still...

I got this in poor condition, and somebody hadn't even biased the tubes. I had it hot-rodded. Not sure exactly what the guy did, but with the main volume on about 3, and the Master on 2, you get the nice clean sound Fender is known for. However, with the Master Volume on 1 and the main on 10, you get a nice crunchy overdriven sound.

Another Amazing Amp!

This is a 2x10 amp that churns out 40 watts. The treble bright will take your head off!

An amazing piece of history!

My absolute favorite amp. One of the very few from the 1960s with Reverb, Vibrato, Tremolo, Selectone (a sort of EQ), and a harmonic Clipper function (Sort of a fuzz.distortion(. Cranked up a bit it roars into overdrive.

the Kustom stuff is so underrated.

I agree! I mean, most of the amps and guitars I have I got because I am obsessed with Creedence Clearwater Revival, and I love my Kustom. I have 2 A4 heads; I am actually working on one now, replacing all the caps and transistors.
