I play my R8 through a 72 SF, all orginal except caps, tubes and a 12F150 Weber speaker. Very sweet breakup after about 4 or so on the volume. The P-90's in my R6 sound great through this amp, too. An excellent blues rig.

+1 on the '72 SFDR, a great amp, Webers are the bomb, I wish I had the R6 to go with it.

Try a JJ in V2, they are warmer than most.............D

Better yet put a NOS Mullard, Amperex, or RCA in that thang!!! Warmer than the Tennessee River in July!

I have a doubt. Change the mics of my paul trad 2014 for an ox4. Mics are fantastic but they are unpotted. I use a Deluxe Reverb and a King of tone overdrive (I use the channel 1 vibrato input). The sound is very good but passing the volume 4 or 4.5 using the 2 sides of the King of Tone turned on (a lot of gain) a lot of feedback is produced. Is this normal?

I had a SF Deluxe for many years...I felt it was a bit to flabby with my humbucker guitars and tweaked it just a wee bit to tighten up the front end. I also changed the Trem circuit to the bias-vary in the Vibroverb, which I think sounds a lot better.

The Deluxe always make me smile. What a wonderful amp!


Can you tell me what volume you were playing?


Thank you. Very good tone!

Thanks. Yeah, volume on about 6, treble on about 5, bass a bit below 3. BTW, had a Cannabis Rex loaded in there. Great speaker for this amp!

Hi Will,

A Deluxe sounds great with a Les Paul. Just about any volume setting produces some great tones; over "5" give you more girth and some breakup. Too high (like over "8") can fart out with humbuckers. :hank

Just came across this thread.

This comment is sooo true - I have a ‘64 DR... I just 666 the volume, treble and bass (it is a simple beast) and get a boost pedal if you want to push the gain more...
