Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
This amp isn't just fine, it's Superfine! This Deluxe came to us from one of our favorite customers and players, Will McFarlane (Bonnie Raitt, Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section). Will brought this amp to another dear friend of ours, Tim Ristau, at Superfine Ampworks for extensive mod and repair and Tim gave it the works. Most notably Superfine's "GrayFace" mods, incorporating "the best of both blackface and silverface era circuits", an added Midrange control (on the back of the amp) for extended tone control and room dial-in, and a soup to nuts shoring up of the cabinet itself. You've simply never heard a '70s Silverface Deluxe sound this good!
