Fender 63 Tube Reverb?

Post by Bloodbank »

Hey there, first post!
Im looking for a amp that doesnt cost a billion and that isnt that big.
So I found the Fender Tube Reverb 63 reissue, does anyone here have any experience with it?
I need a amp with some good cleanz!

Unfortunately what I think you found is just the reissue outboard reverb, not an actual amp.
What music do you play? Is it for band or home use? Combo or head and cab? How much do you consider not a billion?

Really? Well here it is http://www.thomann.de/se/fender_63_tubereverb.htm

I play indie, folk, britpop etc and I would use it for both band and home use. I would like a combo and I dont know really how much i would spend, I guess i could save up if thats the case!

Yeah afraid that's just an outboard reverb unit.
How about a Fender Deluxe Reverb?

Oh fuck.. i should learn to read about things before posting! You're right Thom.
If I raise my budget a bit, what would you consider to be best for the music styles I intend to play, the Bassman or the 65 Twin Reverb?

I've never been a fan of twin reverbs as they are back-breakingly heavy. Love Bassmans, but equally a deluxe reverb is a lovely amp and would do the trick.
Having said that you're really not restricted to fender amps in the slightest. Am sure others will chime in with plenty of other suggestions.

Fender deluxe reverbs, and twin reverbs are lovely. If you can afford a twin reverb reissue, that's what I'd strongly recommend.

Also I love Vox AC30s, so one of those may be worth a shot?

Ive actually considered AC30s, but I will have to look more into those. Thanks!

AC30 can do no wrong.

I've also been hearing people have been liking the Egnater Rebel-20.
