No conversation about the greatest amp of all time is complete without these three amps present. I have and use all three (and many many others), but if you HAD to pick ONE AMP from my arsenal to use for all your gigs and recording, it should be one of these classic Fender combos. Let's play through each (mic'd up as a combo), turn on a couple pedals, play a solo, and discuss strengths/weaknesses. Enjoy!
Favorite examples of these amps on Sweetwater:
'68 Custom DR: sweetwater.sjv.io/POWq3z
