Re: 71 Silverface Deluxe Reverb

Hi all,

I have a small dilemma. I was able to try out an old 71 SFDR. I went there thinking to find the holy grail but then I went home a bit underwhelmed. It felt like an old amp (both the pros and cons) but the tone was good, just wasn't wowed with it.

I need your opinion on whether or not I should get it. It came with a Jensen P12N/R (the alnico one whichever that is). The tone is good. It is a bit inspiring to play. I have to admit, I liked the overdrive with amp volume at 7-8.

Please help. All your opinions are welcome. Joe? Care to help a poor guy out?

Easy if it does not speak to you do not buy it
