The Steel Guitar Forum

I'm looking for a Fender amp to use with my Pedal Steel as well as my Telecaster.
I don't have room for 2 amps and was wondering if anyone could recommend an amp in the Fender line that would pull double-duty (handle the highs and the lows). I know of the 65' Deluxe Reverb 15". Are there any others???

Double-duty amp options are a hot topic here. Search through older posts for lots good ideas. It all depends on what kind of guitar tone & steel tone you're going for, and the type of venues & stage volume you'll be playing.

The quick & dirty answer would be a 70's twin.

I think you mean the '65 Twin Reissue 15".
?

Ooops, Correct Josh... '65 Twin Reissue 15".
What do you play through?
Preciate' all the input.

I use a 1966 Fender Super Reverb w/ Tone Tubby speakers...Its just loud enough to use in a small band w/ steel and kills with a guitar. If I gigged on steel regularly & could afford it , I'd get a bigger amp..

77 Twin Reverb
07 Blues Jr.

Lately a late 60's Deluxe.
Good thread here on that amp:

The Deluxe Reverb is good. I prefer mid-power amps, and use a '64 Vibroverb Custom most of the time, although sometimes a '69 Pro Reverb.

If your steel tonal-target is squeaky-clean and usual guitar tone is warmer with a little breakup when you "dig in", one amp won't cut it. You make a compromise on one side or the other - usually in guitar tone, since a steel player will use a Twin Reverb for clean steel tones; and at low volume (especially home-volume levels) a Twin sounds very thin, especially with lower-output 6-string pickups.

OTOH, if you play with a bit of breakup or a warmer tone than most steel players like to use on both one amp works fine.
