New Vintage Amp Day Pt. 2

Steve Craw · May 3, 2017

Back in March I bought a 1966 Vox Berkeley Super Reverb Twin, (head only) from The HOG. I looked in their stash for the original speaker cab and cart, but couldn't find it . Saturday , I found them, together, hiding in plain sight. Original speakers are gone, but a pair of 1980's Celestion G10Ls sound real nice! Thanks Curt and Bruce!

So, is this basically a head and cab version of a Vox Cambridge? I have one of those and it is one of my most frequently used amps.

Yes. These are a piggyback version of the Cambridge Reverb. The Cambridge Reverb has 1x10".

I, too, love these amps. I've had 4 and have kept one with a 12" Celestion Blue.

Congrats on getting that cab and rack!

Yeah, I remember you being a fan of those as well. Great amps. I had a special speaker cable made that lets me jack it into a Marshall 4x10 cab. Great sound.

I'd love to check out a Berkeley someday.

Yeah, I do like the amp quite a bit. When the reverb died I got out of the habit of playing it. I fixed the reverb and it's great for lower volume gigs. I can't get it to work for a strat without resorting to pedals. Just too thin for some reason. Real nice with humbuckers.

A Berkely would be just the thing.

Awesome, now play ticket to ride

A Cambridge came to pay me a visit. Still trying to decide whether to buy it or not.

Wilko · Jun 8, 2017

You know what to do.

(of course you'll be a getting a nice 10" for that little combo!)

Steve Craw · Jul 9, 2017

The Cambridge needed a lot more work than what was noticeable in the pic, and the price little high, so I had to pass. Cool amp though.

sometimes the magic works. Sometimes it don't. :hmm
