Who Plays A Les Paul Thru A Fender Amp?

Tonedog · Mar 27, 2007

I do...
Les Paul through a Pro-Junior in a Tonedog Pro-Senior 1x12 cabinet.

I played a Fender M-80 (90 solid-state amp)...at one time. But when I wanted a tube amp, and based on what I needed (besides affordability), I bought a Peavey Delta Blues.

No regerets...

After returning the HRDx I went and bought a 65 deluxe reverb RI.
Man, what a difference. This thing is a complete other animal.
Turn it to about 7 and using my LP, the overdrive really sounded good to me.
And it cleans up by rolling back the vol. on the geetar.

I hear you. I used to play a Blues Deluxe (practically a HRDx with less overdrive) and then switched to a DRRI. The difference is night and day. That thing breaks up so nicely. I have never turned it up to 7 as far as I remember, I run mine at about 4 or 5 usually but that's exactly where the overdrive can be controlled nicely with the volume control. I mostly play archtops so I have to controll my feedback ...

Thinking about this thread made me revisit my (Sunn) T-50c and my Fender Concert. I've been gigging Mesa and Marshall for the last few years, but when I heard my Fenders at volume again (instead of whisper quiet), I was blown away. Made me wonder why I ever strayed.

Here is a picture of my Les Paul Classic with Rio Grande pickups Texas & BBQ pups into a Blues Junior mini stack.....I also have a 59 Bassman RI!

Bluestar · Apr 6, 2007

Oh yeah - and I'll be doing so again in about half an hour.

rufes · Apr 6, 2007

One of my Fenders. This is a '67 Bassman. Great with a LP

I admit that I usually use my Marshalls instead.

My main live rig is a '63 Bassman built into a 2x12" combo with Weber C12N's. In the studio I use my Blackface VibroChamp all the time.

Last few gigs have been at a small(ish) venue straight into a heavily (Ratt) modded BJIII... love it love it love it!!! :salude

Hotshot · Oct 27, 2018

I use a 69 non MV for my cleans and blues. Marshall from Rock.

lure555 · Oct 27, 2018

I actually prefer pairing an LP with a Fender. Loved my old CDR and find myself exclusively using Fender amp models in my Helix.

Cool! Did Joe use a Fender amp on this album? Sounds great! Bet there's an Echoplex on that song as well. :hank

Oh yeah - I play my Les Paul through my 1964 Fender Pro Amp sometimes. Yes, it sounds great.

Joe did a very funny interview in the October 1972 Guitar Player A Pro Replies column in which he relayed his techniques for recording "The Bomber." He used a Les Paul and a Vibrolux for the main body of the song. For Ravel's Bolero he added a Echoplex and both mic'd the amp and ran the echo directly into the board. Period pics show him gigging with an EP-2 tube Echoplex. For "Cast Your Fate to the wind" he played a Tele through the Echoplex into a Leslie rotary cab. You can read the article HERE. The funny part is at the end when they asked him about the gear for Funk #49. Joe said he played a Tele through a "Vibroplex." For years I wondered what a Vibroplex was. Joe is a Ham Radio operator. It turns out the Vibroplex is the most popular horizontal Morse code key. Joe was having us on a bit! I'd seen them and even used them but never knew the name!

While I just picked up a Marshall Origin 50c combo, and I'm loving it.....my "life partner" is a '70 Deluxe Reverb, with Celestion speaker and added mid pot (to thicken it a wee bit).

Yes.
