| I've got an old fender super twin reverb amp.It's great for the Chet Atkins stuff that I play but has anyone ever tried a pedal steel through one? I've switched to a fender Hot Rod deluxe for my main guitar amp(It was my chiropractors idea, That sucker weighs a ton!)I've always heard that a twin reverb is a good steel amp. But a super AIN'T a twin. ED drguitar@earthlink.net |

| The "super" and the "super twin reverb" are different amps. The super is 2 x 6L6, whereas the Super Twin Reverb had six 6L6s, if we are talking about the same amp. Have a look - if it has 6 large tubes its a Super Twin Reverb and puts out 135 watts, and should work very well for steel. Guitar players tend not to like them because they are so clean, which of course is great for steel. |

| There have been a number of posts lately on the "SuperTwin Reverb" amp. You can do a search, and learn that several players (myself included) have used them sucessfully. The major complaint with the amp is the weight. However, the equalizer does a great job at getting those "unreachable" tones. The reverb is also compromised (somewhat) because certain equalizer settings all but eliminate the reverb. But if you want sheer power (the amp is rated @180 watts RMS, and 395 watts peak power) and a tonal range unmatched by any other single-unit amplifier, it will certainly do a great job. |
