This is a short Fender Rhodes amplification test comparing a Roland KC-350 keyboard amp and a Fender Twin Reverb.
The signal is then split using a boss AB switch where the KC-350 is connected to channel A and the fender twin is connected to channel B.
The signal on channel A goes through a tube pre-amp and then into the KC-350.
The signal on channel B goes directly into the Fender Twin Reverb.
The recordings where made using identical microphones and settings on both amps.
The final recording is made by connecting the tube pre-amp directly to the mixer.

Thank you !
Well, do you need a tube amp to get a great Rhodes sound ? In general: NO ! Many tube amps drain the dynamics from the characteristic Rhodes sound. Unless you go for a more harsh and cutting sound, you should look for alternative amplification. Many Rhodes recordings that you can hear on records are recorded directly from the harp of the Rhodes using a DI-box or pre-amp. There is no need for tubes, unless you want to crunch things up a little bit. High quality solid-state pre-amps will do a very good job ! Actually I have used a Crunch Master in this video. I have owned the device since 1988 and I am quite happy with it. What makes it very special is that it’s not only a pre-amp, but also a 1 watt power amp, providing the more nice sounding power-amp crunch/distortion. If you want to try it with the Rhodes I recommend you to use the cab-output (it has a cabinet simulator and power-soak built-in). Eq’ing is important and I find the Eq options of the Crunch Master very satisfying for the Rhodes. A good full-range keyboard amp, a PA or a direct connection to the mixer in a studio will provide you with a great Rhodes sound. But of course, if you like the hard tube sound, a Fender guitar amp is the right choice (the Twin Reverb is ok, but not the best!). For an example of that kind of Rhodes sound, listen to Santana’s “Samba De Sausalito” from the “Welcome” record, or even better the “Lotus” live album. The late great Richard Kermode is playing.

But after all this please remember, that 95% of a great Rhodes sound depends on your piano. I have had several Rhodes pianos and some of them, even though they were in mint condition, could just not be adjusted to sound good. This is strange, but that is how it is. You can get a great sounding MkII that you do anything with and it will always sound great. You can also get a bad sounding MkI suitcase and no matter what you do with it and no matter what amp or preamp you use, it will sound boring. Focus on the piano first and then find the amplification that you like.
I will post more videos when I find the time to make them. Until then… Stay strong

Up for sale is this Fender Dual Professional Custom Shop Amp! Built in 1994. I guess these amps where built in reverence to Scotty Moore? This is the LOUDEST and most versatile Fender amp I know! It`s hard to hear the REAL qualities of this amp in this not professional video here.
Unbelievable Vibrato! These amps are getting rarer and rarer! This Dual Professional is in great condition. I`ve changed the original Celestion Vintage 30 speakers for Jensen Neodyms! Those Jensens are definitely better in sound and less in weight!
With the built in Fender Tube Reverb with “Dwell”, “Mix” and “Tone” controls. The 6V6 tube is changed for a 6K6 for a richer reverb.
Interested in this fantastic guitarist for recording or something else? Feel free to contact him:

The highly anticipated addition to Roland’s AC-series amp family has arrived! Loaded with high-performance neodymium speakers and 90 watts of power, the AC-90 provides a rich, powerful sound while remaining lightweight for easy transport. The AC-90 employs a stereo 2-way speaker system that delivers transparent highs -great for the built-in multi-band stereo chorus – while also providing incredibly powerful low-frequency performance.

Sure we like our amps; sure we think they embody the very Soul of Tone. But dont take our word for it—watch and listen as guitar greats and up-and-comers alike extol the sonic virtues of fender amps, including Dhani Harrison, Dweezil Zappa, Dick Dale, John 5, James Burton, Eric Johnson, Kaleo Wassman (Pepper), Gavin Rossdale, G.E. Smith, Eddie Kramer, Robert Cissell & P.J. Waxman (Dear & the Headlights) and Michael Johnny Walker (the Love Me Nots).
