Happy Friday Everyone

Happy Friday everyone! Stay cool!

I added this baby to the living room to play my Rickenbackers through. It’s called Fender Vintage 62 Deluxe, based on the classic brownface amps of the early 1960s. It’s lovely!

Very nice! What type of tremolo does it have? I am curious if it has the harmonic vibrato type like my old Concert Amp had (1962); it had six tubes just for that circuit!

It has a tube bias driven tremolo according to the description. I don’t think it’s a true harmonic typle, but it sounds very nice.

I'm a day late and I see this thread is getting amped up. Well happy Saturday.
My newest amp is behind me here from a gig two weekends ago. Ampeg Venture V-12 head and Venture VB-212 cabinet. Super lightweight and powerful. I'm playing my Ruby 4004Cii.

My former Princeton Reverb amp had that type of tremolo; best sounding tremolo of the CLF designs, IME.

These days I make do with a Strymon Flint for my tremolo (and reverb) needs.

[jps]

Nice rig! I’ll bet that sounds massive!

The 4003 in the picture is in fact a blue boy....too much light in the picture makes it appear as a snowglo

Nice to see someone playing bass through a VOX amp. Very cool, Francesco.
I have a pseudo VOX rig that I've used for a British Invasion tribute and sometimes for a Jimi Hendrix Experience tribute.
Happy Friday to all.
