Beautiful amph, there, Nelskie, and congratulations my friend! You must post a sound clip. It's a moral imperative.

The Holy Grail
Some of you may remember the above statement in my "Modeling vs. Vintage" post under this section awhile back. Well . . . long story short - - it happened.But at some point down the road, there will be a need to park a vintage Super Reverb down at Nelskie Studios. Ain't nuthin' like the real thing, baby!
A good friend of mine was looking to down-size his current set-up, and knowing my affliction for vintage Fender tone, decided that his 1968 Silverface Super Reverb needed a new home. Ah yes, sometimes the stars and planets come into alignment. And I was quick to the task.
Being a wordsmith of somewhat capable regard, I can honestly tell you that I am almost at a total loss for words as to how this amp sounds. Well . . . almost.When you're face-to-face with vintage equipment, there's something totally different that happens to one's perception of tone. And indeed, it is truly a magical thing. Like walking into a beautiful, ancient church, and being enveloped by the sweet, spacious sound of a full choir. As your mind drifts into this alternate consciousness, you realize that each note and chord that you play has an innate and almost spiritual feel to it - - something that modeling technology has yet to define. The effect it has on one's playing is nothing short of glorious - - almost like there is a direct channel into every thought and emotion, which in turn, are instinctively transposed through your hands and fingers into something outer-worldly, and borderline mystical.
Having now supped from the Holy Grail, and felt its intoxicating allure, I can only tell you this: there's no turning back.
Ain't nuthin' like the real thing, baby!

Woo, doggies!!!! That is SWEET, N-man!
OK, then--no more Mr. Nice Guy. Excuses are no longer acceptable. I believe I can safely speak for several of the resident Fretters when I say....
WE DEMAND SOUND CLIPS!!!
Do whatever you must. The time has come for Nelsko-Fenderish tone to be released upon an eager, waiting world. Get it done, my friend!
Fellow Fretters--add your voices to the fray! Apply persistent and pitiless peer pressure! Demand that which we all deserve--to hear this vintage tone machine for ourselves!!!

Holy Mackerel on the Holy Grail!!! You must have special magical eminence about you Nelskie. You write about things and they happen. In the future, I will be paying attention to what you say and write about. If you decide to write about stocks please shoot me a PM first. I will share my profits with you.
Nice catch on the 1968 Fender Silver Face Reverb “Vintage” Not only is there no turning back … make sure there is no looking back.
Yes we would like to hear sound clips. Some others will have to get their GAS under control. A quick fix would be to stay away from the Fret Net until this topic passes by. Then you also must not turn back and review the past posts regarding Silver Face Reverb sound clips.
Yea, that mean you Warren!

Wow congrats Nelskie! Post soundclips you will.
