Back in the day, before amps were mic'd into the house sound, you got to the point where you just needed more power to play community houses, auditoriums, National Guard armories, etc. Splitting sonic hairs was secondary to a big ole amp w/ reverb and lots of inputs. Thus, I traded my blackface Deluxe [$170 new] on a Super [$400 new]. But it was a heavy SOB - and only a single grip on top. I regret the day when I tried my hand on bass and traded it in on a pleated black Kustom bass amp. Today I think the Deluxe Reverb would be the way to go.

The Super is basically a half powered Twin with 4x10'' speakers instead of 2x12" and it sounded the best in this comparison. My Twin has just 2 6L6's just like the Super but even that is loud as hell, I further lowered it down by replacing the pre amp tubes with 12AT7 with this "mod" I can now play those power tubes harder and it is just fantastic. I believe that that could be also done to the Super to extract a different kind of juice from those 4x10". They are hernia inducing bricks though. Once I had a Deluxe but was returned very fast because it's reverb is not what I was expecting and I also don't like the spongy feeling of the 6V6's. But any Blackface's amp is very good and hold pedals very well too.

Quite difficult to tell the difference between these amps when they're all played a low volume. (They essentially sound the same until they start to break up.) But I liked the clean voice of the Super the most. It sounds slightly less middy, though that is probably the knob settings. A lot of people here are mentioning that the Twin is a good middle ground amp, what they don't realize is that despite its medium size, it's got twice the power of the Super Reverb, and a Super Reverb is already an unimaginably loud amp. The three amps are capable of serious hearing damage. But there's nothing like a Blackface Fender...

The Deluxe is pointed straight at the camera mic, The Twin is pointed a bit right of it (from the listener's perspective), and the Super is pointed even more away from the mic. Treble frequencies are very direction-focused, unlike bass which spreads out more, so we're not hearing a really accurate comparison here.

My Main question is: would a deluxe 65 with the volume arround 3 Mic’d with a SM57 be a better Choice rather than struggling with the huge volume of the twin ??? Or for the sake of good tone the Super would do both and keep sustain together with clarity and enough headroom to use it without being too loud???

What I found a bit surprising is the cleanliness of the Super Reverb in this comparison. I know, the Super Reverb is a 4 speaker high wattage amp and if you go by the general rules for tube amps it should stay fairly clean until a high level of volume. But that’s not the case with the Super Reverbs I heard before. Normally they have the tendency to break up way earlier than the Twin and the Deluxe. But I guess that’s just another great example of how every „original“ fender amp from the real handwired period sounds different.

The deluxe sounds balanced and the tone is a bit more cramped. The twin has a ton of clarity almost too much. The tone is very glassy. The super has a big scooped mid range with a very poppy sound, it sounds very SRV / early John Mayer. I think i like the super / deluxe/ twin.. Though the twin would probably be best for lead tone and cut through the mix incredibly well.

The differences are much bigger when driving them into breakup and/or running them with pedals. The Twin is maybe the most pedal-unfriendly amp I ever played, but also the Super has its issues with some Overdrives. So, I think it mostly depends on how one would want to use them. I loved my vintage BF Super Reverb for ist cleans as much as I hated it when I tried to get a good tone with my pedals. Now I am in heaven with a JTM45 and a Strymon Flint. Amazing clean tone, punchy as hell and the world’s best overdriven tone.
