    (No mods required, btw 🤠) Ok, so I've wanted to do a video on my old Deluxe Reverb for a while. I was messing with it and found something out that totally blew my mind (that's not just clickbait in the thumbnail, lol). So, really, why aren't you doing these 5 things?!
    0:59 Vol 10 Treb 10 Bass OFF
    3:20 Use it as a head
    6:54 Check out the normal channel
    11:06 Jumper the channels (it DOES WORK, and I figured something out here that is SUPER cool)
    18:06 Use my "473" settings with a pedalboard.

    # 6 Thing you can do with a Deluxe Reverb : Plug your guitar input One of reverb channel . Plug a second cable into input Two of reverb channel . Plug the other end of second cable into an Echoplex . Connect a third cable from output of the Echoplex into the input One of the first channel . Both channels are now in phase .

    There’s another way to get around the out of phase issue. There are a lot of normal stereo effects pedals that have an inverted second output - maybe even most of them do. A lot of people who are running out and buying special AYB pedals that have reversible phase just for this purpose probably already have something laying around that will do the job.

    I love this video! I’m starting to learn that more pedals doesn’t create better tone, it just starts to complicate things and in some cases is adding more noise and hiss. I’ve adjusted my Deluxe Reverb treble between 9-10, Bass to 2, and then adjust my pedals and guitar tone and volume knobs accordingly. I have WAY more dynamics, and my guitar knobs have more range for adjustments. Even with a very bright Tele, I can still roll the tone down on the bridge and it’s perfect! Thank you for sharing.

    Hey Justin, FYI, I have been playing guitar for 63 years and Fender amplifiers for 60 years. I have been using those settings since, nearly, day one. In the 60's I played a Twin Reverb, and in the 70's, two Super Reverbs. In '79 I scaled down to a Deluxe Reverb through a 2x12 Fender closed back cab with Electro Voice speakers and the tone was unbelievably good. I still use Fender amps, always play thru two. Outdoors I use a Super Reverb and Dr Z Z Wreck and indoors I use a Deluxe Reverb or Princeton Reverb with a Dr Z Maz 18 or Carr Mercury V. Thanks for sharing our secret settings.

    Back in the late eighties I bought a ‘64 Deluxe from the late, great Ken Fischer of Trainwreck Circuits, an amp he was selling on consignment. It came with a 12” Rola Celestion Greenback. He did a mind blowing mod to channel one. Once the volume was turned above 2½, it tripled the amp’s output! Ken said he thought it was loud enough to go toe-to-toe with a 50 watt Marshall. It was absolutely terrifying! I brought it to band practice one night, which took place after hours at a friend’s warehouse. I used channel two during rehearsal, but after practice ended, I decided to plug into channel one and crank it. It was unbearably loud-so loud that its cabinet was rattling. After testing it out, I tried a few different distortion pedals with it, but they sounded like crap. At that point I had no idea how tame this beast so I could start gigging with it. Then, one snowy afternoon, I was at a small local music store starting my first day as a guitar teacher. As I was sitting near one of the display cabinets, I noticed that there was a used Scholz Power Soak for sale. The owner (who later became one of my closest friends) told me to take it home and try it, which I did. It turned out to be the perfect solution. In the band I was in, I played both guitar and keyboards. I built a small but powerful stereo “PA” system, mainly for the keyboards. I decided to set the Deluxe on the floor behind me, with the speaker facing the wall. I stuck an SM57 in front of it, choked down the volume with the Power Soak, then ran the mic into my keyboard setup’s mixer. I put my rack mount effects unit into the mixer’s effects loop, and BINGO! Absolute perfection. I used that setup for years without a problem. That Deluxe now occupies a place of honor in my music room.

    The one Deluxe Reverb mod I highly recommend is to replace the ext. speaker jack with a Middle pot/knob for the vibrato channel. Every player I’ve done this for has loved it - it makes it so much easier to dial in your tone in all different types of rooms and situations. The mod is not invasive and is fully reversible.

    Another fun thing is to go out the output of the reverb pan into the input of channel 1 (with an rca to 1/4" adapter). It's kind of like having a fender outboard spring reverb after the input and eq of channel 2. You get an extra gain stage just on the reverb plus an EQ.

    Outstanding demonstration. The vibrato channel inverted signal when jumped with the normal channel changes the entire tonal structure of the amp, very cool. This should not be confused however with non-reverb amps which are same phase ie: Bandmaster, Bassman, Tremolux) that combining the channels results in more gain, equally awesome, but not the tonal changes heard in this video!

  • @kevinafflack
    @kevinafflack Год назад +3

    Great episode! I’m definitely trying those out. You can also do the one wire mod and have verb in both channels. They still sound different but in phase. You can use an A/B box and set one ch for rhy and one for lead.
    I like to use a 501 tape echo, or any echo with wet only output, and run the delay to the normal ch in parallel. Post my pedalboard, I use a Radial ABY set for both, run one side to the vibrato channel and run the other side to the echo set for wet only. This lets you add delay to your existing sound. Instead of having to set the mix knob just perfect, you’ll have volume and Eq for the delay and if you put a volume pedal between dealy and amp, you can control the level. It’s like a mono wet dry rig.
    Another tip I’ve read is to remove the very first preamp tube and use the vibrato channel. This will give it a little more gain.

    I learned how to repair my 60s Deluxe Reverb in 1971. I was 13, played guitar for 7 tears at that point. Put a blues band band together with some current pop to get gigs.
    Our lead guitarist was 16 or 17. He said, you should cross channel the inputs. It sounded great. Then a 5 watt resistor fried. So I learned how to repair it. I stopped the coss channel trick. I eventually sold it (shouldn't have done that). Got a Yamaha solid state anp so I could carry it to classrs at Betklee.
    I'm sure there was a way to prevent the power resistor from frying but I was just tinkering until I learned electronics. The delux reverb was a great amp. One of my favorites.

    Great share from end to end. And the bigger lesson for me is just how much we can do with only amp settings and guitar volume controls...without pedals. A great eye(ear) opener.

    I wonder if tip 1 will work with a tonemaster or modeling

    • @Bobby_Digital37
      @Bobby_Digital37 Год назад +1

      I was thinking the same thing. I tried the blonde deluxe tone master at Guitar Center and turned it up with the power scaling turned down and volume maxed and really like that tone, but I don’t recall the settings on the bass and treble..

      I have a tone master, and it does get a lot of breakup with the volume at 10 with a Les Paul. I usually set it at 4-5 on the treble and 2 on the bass usually. Running at 10 on the treble may be a little too spiky on the Tone Master but it does respond sorta the same. It's a great plug straight in setting and get cleanup with the volume knob on your guitar.

    I still have the 1979 Silverface Deluxe Reverb I bought used in 1981 as a teenager (when it wasn't "cool"). Over the years, I modded the normal channel to have reverb/trem and an early Marshall style preamp circuit for much tighter bass. Very pedal friendly channel and in phase with other channel if you want to jumper them.

    # 1 seems like the Bonamassa trick. Open up and let it howl is his description, but it is so much more dynamic than that. I have Feb 65 Super and a June 65 DR - ran through a tone bone splitter with this suggestion and GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!!! Thanks for the very cool insights.

    I'm listening to this driving in my truck out in the rural area around my house. The sounds you get out of that amp/guitar combo make me feel like......."MERICA". Shotgun and rifles on the pickup truck rear window rack, red dirt roads, cornfields, and bass lakes.
    Yep. "MERICA"

    Thank you so much for the tips! I always have been a Marshall guy or a Head/Cab guy and I bought 64 Fender Custom DR couple of years ago hoping that it would be my grab&go pedal platform combo for small gigs. I was mainly disappointed with the sounds I was getting. I ended up not playing it for almost a year and recently put it on the market. After watching your video, I tried the lead setting (V:10, T:10, B:0) and used it like a head (DR -> Fryette Power Station -> Suhr 2x12 Cab with Creamback) and OMG. Never ever thought I was going to get pure hard rock tone from DR. I’m going to try with a 1x12 cab I have and I’m also going to try pedal platform setting so I could love this amp! I’m so glad I watched your video. Thank you!

    Some of these tricks I knew about, but in a not so extreme way. Invaluable tips 100%!!! Thank you. Additionally I've found the tone while attenuated on these setting is much better than attenuated tone with more "normal" settings. Huge bonus there. My interest in my drri is renewed twofold.

    Thank you Justin. I learned of the "turn down the bass" thing from a Robben Ford video, where he had the amp at vol and turned up the bass where it just presented itself. Likewise with treble as well. Thank you for your perspective and info sharing! As such, I love the amazing talent that is on YT. Some videos with the bass high, or massive gain may not work well in a live situation or recording session, however they come across so full and insane as a single instrument on YT. So the crafting and time for what is played perfectly is based on those EQ/gain settings and "possibly" not usable in a live or recording process. Of course this depends on one's interpretation, need, and genre etc...

    I had learned about volume and treble on 10 and bass off from BB King. It works great. Best sound I ever had was Deluxe reverb ran through Marshall 4 speaker cabinet. I never even thought to use normal channel. I have used both channels with a splitter had no id I could jump from the input. All very good ideas. Sounds great. Subbed.

    these are great tips for this amp (and amazing playing)...he's not wrong about dialing back the low end when recording (and in general)...you just need more mid-range and less bass to sit well in mix (recording or live)...

    I didnt know JT passed until now.
    Justin, pretty sure i worked with you at the Q when you got into town over a decade ago.
    I would like to echo, JT was one of the nicest session guys, or guys in general, I've ever come acrossthe man could do so much with so few.
    He carried a quarter of the gear, or better, than other guys.
    But he got the *song*
    He wouldnt be lead, on occasion at the Q, but his impact was always there, polite and subtle enough to direct the room. And the room, regardless of roll call, obliged.
    He was one of my favorites, not just players, but persons. Damn.

  • @Firemedic361
    @Firemedic361 9 месяцев назад

    Absolutely correct, in a mix you need to cut bass. Correct chord voicing as well when playing rhythm. Most people though, play with themselves lol me included. Luckily I had a few years when I was younger playing with a group.

    I have a new black face 65 re-issue Deluxe Reverb that I use to play my new Duesenberg Split-King lap steel through. I don' have an electric guitar anymore. The Split King has two pickups and both have a hum bucker and P-90 on each of the pickups. Hence Split King. It is a beautiful instrument and I hope to lear to play. Back in the day or early 70's in any rock in roll days, I had a 1967 Les Paul Deluxe Sunburst playing through a Fender Twin stacked on top of a 4x12 Bassman cabinet. That sob put out some sound and I thought I was Jimmy Page. I am 71 years of age now and learning the lap steel. I may have to start out play Mary had a little lamb.
