My Amplifiers

Multicoloured Bar
Before we go ANY further, the guy responsible for maintaining my suite of amps is Chris Patterson of Impact Electronic Services, in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.  And he's VERY good...!

These are my amplifiers, past & present.  Sweet...

Pictures of my amps... (click on each picture for a full-size look!)

  The Super Reverb My '68 SF Super Reverb! Man, oh man! I got a BEAUT! My amp-to-die-for, angelic- sounding 1968 Fender Super Reverb! Wah-HOOOOO!!!  You've got to go a LONG way to beat this honey!

And... Chris has been back inside it, to change the electronics to blackface spec., and then installed a set of Groove Tubes KT-66 HPs, which take the headroom through the ceiling!
  The Leslie My Leslie! Second to my Super Reverb, my sweetest amp. It works like a charm and sings like an nightingale! Read my odyssey on its restoration!
  The '68 SF Princeton Reverb My '68 SF Princeton Reverb! Smaller version of my Super Reverb, considered the quintessential studio recording amp. Sweet, sweet tone...
  The Super My Super! Made in May '94, this beast puts 60w into 4 10" speakers @ 8ohms - DEADLY clean tone, phat as could be, 3-channels with a 3-button footswitch, but... I can't get the tubes to saturate and overdrive the way I want, so its days are numbered. My eldest son Bobby, an alternative fan, is buying it, to pump his Marshall Guv'nor pedal through - at least until he can lay hands on a Mesa/Boogie Trem-o-Verb...!
  The Vibro Champ My Vibro Champ! Made in spring '76, this is a mint beauty, and with a new JAN NOS 6V6, it'll scream, especially with the FullDrive II and the '69 pedal pushing it! I know why so many recordings were made using these things...
  The Sunn My Sunn Beta Lead! Hey, it's a solid-state 100w into 2 12" speakers. It does a pretty respectable Marshall crunch, and a nasty Fender Twin scream!
  The Smokey My Smokey Amp! This thing rocks! One jack is the guitar input, the other will power a 4x12 cabinet!! True story, my bud had to go with me to see this - had to be seen to be believed (he bought one, too!)
  The BXR 100 My Fender BXR 100 Bass Amp! My latest amp acquisition, it was time to pick up a respectable companion to my Peavey bass. Great tone, great features!
