I'm having a major clear out and cutting my gear down to have a few really choice pieces instead of multiple amps/guitar/pedals(that I never use). I've got my Marshall Mini Jubilee, Marshall JMP1-H and wanted to get a single 'clean' amp mainly for playing my Strat through. After lots of research and shop visits I ended up taking a gamble on ordering a '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb rather than the 'standard' '65 Deluxe reverb that I'd otherwise settled on and actually tried in store.
It came yesterday and sounds fantastic especially with my Strat, plus the Tele and even my P90 LP Studio. Of course it's a totally different sound to my Marshalls, but that's the whole point. I've been after this sort of clean tone ever since I played through a Blackfaced Twin reverb over 30 years ago with my (same) Strat. Really rich, like I've got a bass player joining along with me, but with a nice sparkle too on the 'Bright' channel especially. I'm even taken with the vibrato despite it not being something I typically would use. It's loud too, but not as much as the Twin I played through all those years ago and much lighter.
