Today we will be comparing two big Fender amps, the blackface Pro Reverb and Twin Reverb. Both these amps are vintage amps. The Pro is a 1966 with Jensen C12n speakers and the 1964 Twin Reverb is loaded with Oxford 12T6 speakers. They both have two 12 inch speakers and a big gorgeous tone. The looks of these amps are very similar but in terms of volume and breakup they are two different animals. The Pro Reverb is known for its ability to break up soon and offer distortion, compression and sag. The Twin is mean and clean almost all the way up. Playing these amps together is therefore a good way to demonstrate clean and cranked tones.
I have dialled in the amps so they are equally loud. You will see the volume and EQ settings soon. We need a good reference guitar whose tone is known to many of you. I am therefore using a strat right into the amps without any pedals or anything in between. We're going to play a few licks and chords to see how the amps respond to different licks, chords and pickup selections. Those of you with stereo speaker setup will hear the Pro Reverb panned into the right speaker and the Twin in the left.
Both amps have a Sennheiser e906 in the front and a Shure SM57 above to capture ambience and room feel.
Details on the guitar:
I've assembled it myself. The maple+rosewood neck is from USA Custom Guitars with a beautiful paint and relic job by Gord Miller in Canada. The body is a MJT relic ash with Nitro lacquer. Pickups: Fender Custom shop CS69 pickups giving a nice upper clarity, chime and sparkle that cuts through.
