This amp gets some great sounds using a strat or a 335 straight into amp with no pedals. The volume in the room was very loud though. The brightness switch is always ON for that glassy fender sound. The Celestion Vintage 30 speaker sounds noticeably smoother after it has had some time to break-in. I sped up the process by connecting the speaker directly to a 400w mono QSC power amp and played the local R&B/Rap radio station through it for about 8 hours at a safe volume. When I got home from work and reconnected the speaker, it sounded fantastic.
The overdrive settings starting at 1:30 were:
(Channel 1)
Gain: 8
Volume: 2
Treble, Bass, Middle all three set to: 5
Boost: OFF
Presence: 6
Reverb: 5
Stock tubes were replaced with ‘early breakup’ set (see below) of JJ Electronic Eurotubes:

Traynor YCV40 – High gain option.
A pair of the JJ 6L6GC’s along with three hand picked high gain ECC83S’s with one of them being balanced for the phase inverter in V3. For you players who need a little more edge! These are fixed bias amps so please use the comments box before checking out to let me know if your after max headroom, middle of the road, or an earlier breakup from the clean channel so I can pick the proper grade for the power tubes.
The 335 humbuckers were a DiMarzio Air Norton in the bridge and a Gibson ‘57 Classic in the neck. The strat was a mahogany Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS with a Diamondback humbucker and two Tex-Mex single-coils.

This is my #1 gigging amp. It is pure amp and nothing like the reissues. This amp has a lot of headroom and you really need a Tube Screamer to get this amp to go into overdrive. If you were going to buy one vintage amp, this would be the one, the Holy Grail. I will demo it on my next videos. Watch the Bandmaster video first. Disclaimer: I don’t play this amp in this video but I do have several videos playing this amp. Look at all of my videos.

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
