Here's a pic of my '78 Deluxe Reverb, yes it was a SilverFace. The cab is a Crusty cab (over at the Weber boards). The faceplate is a Rodger's plate. And the Reverb Unit is a RI, I got it last week. Fun, fun, fun! Sorry for the lack of pedal content

hey lefty. how much did the amp cost you originally, and how much was it to "blackface" it?

I think I paid 450.00 for it (maybe less). I did'nt do much to it other than remove the "boost" and change some caps and a fresh set of tubes. Oh and a different speaker, I put it a old NOS Mojo V30, it's not the same as the new ones. It's not quite to spec as a the Celestion V30. I've considered rebuilding it to BF specs but it soounds great as is so why bother with perfection?

Looks waaay cool. That must have been quite a project.

Why the Reverb Tank? - is the amp actually a Deluxe (no reverb)?

No it was'nt too bad, just a matter of getting the parts together. It sat faceless for about a year, but I used it anyway. As for the Reverb Tank, I just got it about a week ago and I was toying with it WITH the DR. The Verb on the DR is fine, I got the tank to use with my Z-28.

Hello

How does the V 30 perform ?

Have you ever compared it to a Weber alnico speaker?

Has the V 30 a alnico magnet ?

Regards

It's not your typical V30, it's got a better bottom and more warmth. It's a older NOS Mojo V30 (before it was sold to it's current owners). I would only use a Ceramic speaker in a low powered amp such as the DR. And I wouldn't go less than 50 watts. I hear the Weber Blue Pup 12" is a great speaker in the DR. I had a Jensen RI C12N and it sucked really bad, I could'nt get any volume out of the DR, just speaker break up.

Lefty

Have you compared the V30 and the Blue pup ?

Have you ever had any thought son this matter ?

Presently I am building a BF Deluxe and I am wondering if I should use the V30 that I own or get the Blue pup ?

It is presently 10 years old and has not been used much.
