FNDR VSUP 1950

Meet “Mad Max”, a 1950 V Super amp that has been to hell and back, a couple of times. You can do with it all that you want but there seesm to be no way of kicking out its soul. No amount of beer from hundreds of bars, presumably a flood nor other cataclisms have made a bent into the tone.

 

This as our favorite amp from a shootout between more than 40 vintage amps earlier this year in NY. Half of those were vintage Tweeds and this one stood above them all to our ears. It has a very full and even midrange compared to the later tweed amps and that results in a fantastic overdrive character, which is simply massive through those 10″ speakers.

 

What is unexpected is how well it holds together despite that massive punch and bass. Even with a Les Paul and totally dimed, it remains strong and doesn’t cave in. What a feast for the ears it is, when it is roaring at full blast!

 

Same goes for that full, round and warm clean tone – simply unparalleled and some of the best cleans you will ever get anywhere.

 

Supposedly Billy Gibbons buys these up on sight and more recently Joe Bonamassa has reissued it in collaboration with Fender under the amps earlier name (The Dual P). Circuit-wise these are the same amp.

 

It is all original apart from a few resistors changed. It features the original Jensen 10″ alnico speakers and original transformers.
