    Should I or am I just Gassin'

    I have a very clean '68 Pro Reverb with Webers and it sounds glorious. I've found a nearly pristine '68 Super Reverb with original alnicos that is available.

    Can only have one.

    Any advantage in "moving up?"

    I've had a nice '66 Vibrolux Reverb since about 1990. Several years ago I was given a '67 Super Reverb that needed some work. I did the work and got it running really well. The SR had a bigger sound, but the VR was more "me", was also less loud and more portable. I have never regretted selling the SR.

    Compare the amps and see what works for you.

    ProReverb rules.

    I don't think this is really a "moving up" situation.

    The Pro Reverb is such a great amp. If you're happy with what you have, and it's tried and true, then look no further. You have what many have always wanted.

    I agree the SR sounds bigger. It depends on application really. A SR can really bring the heat when you twist the loud knob.

    downgrade IMO.

    the Pro Reverb is the true gem of the Fender line with its 2x12 configuration and tube rectifier.

    Thanks for the replys. The Pro R is a great amp, just gassing for a '68 SR I don't really need. It's not listed on CL today so someone grabbed a gem.
