So, I bought a 68 Showman (silverface) today, well actually I put a hold on it at a dealer, gonna drive down and check it out this weekend.
What should I expect with this amp? Kind of a silly question, but you can only get so much from reviews/crappy Youtube clips.
I know they are loud and clean, and lack reverb. This one appears to be an early 68, hopefully it will have the AB763 circuit, but I'll play it first and decide on the sound rather than the circuit.
Supposedly it's been maintained, it was a players amp, and it has some newer filter caps (maybe all of them) and a three prong cord.
I was initially looking for a lower wattage model, one of the 2 6L6 variety, but this is a good deal and the amp is clean. I figure I can use some overdrive pedals with it to get some breakup. I also have a few reverb pedals, my Mr. Springgy works good in the front of all my amps, even with a bit of drive.
Thoughts or comments?
