Looking For A Great Classic Rock Sound From Your Amp
Looking for a great classic rock sound from your amp than
look no further because we are about to serve up 1 hot recommendation. This
great amp from Fender that doesn't even bare the fender logo on it delivers some
cool tones and sounds from the early 70’s a la ZZ Top is what I mean. When I
hear the distortion on these puppies I think of song like La Grange & cheap
Sun glasses. The Fender pawn shop special Excelsior offer up some sweet rockin
sounds for a modestly affordable price. They are light in weight which is great
for lugging around or walking up a set of stairs. Nothing worse than having to
carry heavy gear to your gig and pulling a back muscle just before you have to
go on stage.
The Fender name is not displayed anywhere prominently.
Indeed, the 13-watt Excelsior looks and sounds like it could have been born at
some electronics division of a Rca or a radio company of the 1950’s. To that
end, the Excelsior gets a lot of its design details from that period.
The back of the amp is wide open, with the transformer and
tube section of the chassis mounted on the bottom section of the amp, and the
control section placed in an enclosed section at the top—a common approach to
amp layout in the ’50s. The two 6V6 power tubes are enclosed in a metal cage. the 15" speaker, a nod to
15-equipped accordion amps from the1950’s classic rock era.
The control settings: volume knob, a knob for the tremolo
rate, and a slider for moving between dark and bright settings. To the right of
the volume knob, there are three inputs—a standard guitar input, a mic input
that has a pad for handling high-output instruments, and an accordion input
that gives you a little low-end roll off and a little more presence in the highs
and midrange.
The sound: Sparkling cleans, bright
but not to repulsive and in your face sound. Just what a clean Fender amp should be like.
This amp was released about 3 year ago and it was a limited edition.
So you might have trouble finding it in music stores today or on amazon. If you can’t find any in stock you might
have to try buying it used on kijji or EBay. Your next best is option is the
