Bry Webb of the Constantines played one for years and it sounded amazing there. It was parked in my old studio for a while. I didn't use it much but when I did it was good. It was really nice clean. Nice driven too but very loud to get to that sound like every other super I've ever played.

I have a regular Super Reverb from the 60s and can’t imagine needing something bigger and heavier and cleaner. I still use it as a pedal steel/every instrument amp but it is kind of wasted in a home as it really comes but alive in big rooms - like itll do that Marquee Moon sound takes a little bit of juice.

Also, I’ve spent more money getting that amp fixed up than any other, if mostly because I had a transformer eat shit and it is very expensive to experiment with speakers in those things.

In a basement, I can't imagine the Super Six would do anything that a Deluxe or Vibrolux wouldn't do in a much more pleasant manner. However, those are much more expensive than the Super Six that's been posted.

That's the other thing, I already own a '00s Fender Twin-Amp. A lateral move from a Fender to an Older Fender.

Also a potential future concern, due to the Celestion's poor reputation.

I'm pretty sure that's the one that wound up in our space (I had the 4x12 and 6x10 owners swapped in my head).
