Two Amps. Furlong Combo and 68 Fender Twin!

Post by Randy Gilliam »

Sat and Sunday I Used My Furlong CB 12 Powered Cab,Combo amp with Sarno Tube Preamp, With My 68 Fender Twin , Wow What a Sound! I Used a Ground Lift On The Twin and Had No Problems with the 60 cycle Hum. The Twin Is Heavey But it was well worth the Extra Work! Randy Gilliam. :D

Randy good idea. A tube amp for tone and solid state together for a band with drums. I use a AB box to combine the two. With no drums or rehersal I can use a Deluxe Reverb. Don't tell anyone Some of those Fender amps are getting too expensive.

Great for a house band gig or a tough guy like Randy.
I used a Session and Twin for awhile and the two amps seem to balance out each other.
I like it for guitar also with a Twin and a Deluxe.
Sure do like the 67 Twin you sold me!
Thanks

Two amps

HI Randy

I have done the same thing and I cant agree with you more as to the "terrific" combination.

I used a Fender Vibrosonic and a Furlong / Sarno 15" combo rig together a few times at a gig in Dickson TN. It was an absolutely terrific sound.
I just used the two "outs" from a hardwire delay and reverb unit to split to the two amps.

Please note though that it was a super easy "in and out" place to play. My spot on the stage was 8 feet from the load in door. :)

I have always been a "fanatic" when it comes to my equipment. My steel and amps never stayed at any of the clubs I played. The seat, volume pedal and other equipment may have but not the main equipment.
