Non-Fender amps with Fender Tone

[Jmg11986]

I feel like I'm a big vintage Fender amp kinda guy. Love the distinct clean tone. Knowing that, which amps do you find to have similar Fender clean tone that is not a Fender amp?

Example: Today I was blown away by a Magnatone M10 A amp that I played. Playing in the tone boost section really sounded like a Deluxe reverb or princeton to me.

What are your thoughts?

I'm borrowing a friend's Two-Rock Opal. Damned if this thing doesn't produce the nicest blackface clean tone. I was stunned at how Fenderish the cleans are on this amp.

Fargen Blackbird - my all time favorite amp for Fender BF type sounds

Valvetrain - my Trenton does a good FB type sound but has a hint of Vox flavor IMO as the volume gets higher

My Tone King Metro sounds more "fendery" than any Fender amp I've ever ownded, excecpt my 64 Blkface Bassman/2X12, and it's close.

Ceriatone Overtone Special HRM Bluesmaster. Loaded with great Fender cleans.

Don't laugh. Peavey Delta Blues 1x15. Reverb is not as good but the base tone is ther if dialed in right.

Bruno Cowtipper is in the Fender blackface cleans camp!

I really don't think anything beats a good Super Reverb, Vibrolux Reverb, Pro Reverb or a Twin for the Blackface Fender thing. Old Traynors come close though.

Sorry that i don't have a bunch of examples, but there are lots and lots of amps with voicings similar to a blackface. Possibly the most used preamp structure.

Bluetron Blueverb. Killer!

I gigged with a '68 SFDR (D-120 grey frame) as my baseline tone, for 12 years. I was always looking for a spare

I tried one of the Holland LOBO 20. I ended up going to a JBL K-120

I tried a Peavey Classic 30. I ended up going to a JBL K-120. The clean side was cool.

I ended up with a K&M Custom 50 (with loop). This amp has cleans only touched by a 1965 Princeton NR.

YMMV,

Both my Rivera M100 and Duo-Twelve "do" that Fender clean tone beautifully!
(Which is why I bought them!)

Bruno Cow Tipper and Dr. Z EZG-50 are close examples.

VVT Lindy Fralin amp - a great fender-clean amp from a great team.

Pretty much any RedPlate or Two Rock.

Steve Carr´s amps do great blackface fender.
