Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
Totally agree but they really don't start to do the business until they are very loud

Surprised to see a 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb RI as the website said they didn't have one! The set me up in the sound room where they also had a 68 Custom Silverface Twin Ri, so played the two side by side.
The 65 DRRi had a lovely rhythm tone, all the tones sounded good, vibrato and reverb were nice but the reverb wasn't consistent across the strings for some reason. It didn't 'wow' me but sounded like it should. Would I spend £1400 on a new one, not a chance.
The 68 Silverface Twin Ri did have an audible hiss but was really responsive. I quite liked the bright setting and preferred the tone in general but it's far too big.
Would like to try the 68 Silverface Custom Reverb to see if it did a similar thing to the Twin in a smaller form.
The 12" speaker makes a huge difference, whatever I get will be either 12" or 2x 10".
Re "not what you think'- I mean they're not as close to original tones as they'd have you believe.
So as an e.g.- the BF DRRI is always a little more brittle and hard sounding than an orig.

I have owned all amps amps listed below.
I currently own an original 1969 Princeton. By far the best amp I’ve ever owned.
I have recently sold a handwired 64 deluxe reverb. Brilliant amp. Bright at first and it didn’t like overdrive pedals in my opinion
Closest to these two for vintage tones is the Headstrong Lil King S. sold this to a friend to facilitate another deal. Brilliant amp for classic vintage Fender tone. Closer than Carr Sportsman or Rambler to my ears. Would not hesitate to by another Headstrong and I cannot understand why the only EU deealer is in Belgium. The Lil King is also excellent.
68 Princeton was very dark and sounded nothing like my 69
65 Princeton reissue was great and I wouldn’t hesitate to own one again
68 Deluxe. Very noisy.
All subjective i know.
