I did some cool stuff today inside of my old BF Fender Pro Reverb amp..I've been playing through it all day,and so tonight I decided to see how well the BF 2x12 Valvetronix sound compared to my Fender amp...

I really needed to hook the VT up to the open backed 2X12 Fender cab with a set of Webers,but I Left the VT plugged into it's matching closed back 2x12 Celestion Neo-dogs....

As expected...The Pro Reverb has this beautiful complex,open tone,the mids are perfect and the lows are warm and full....

The VT has the vibe of the Pro Reverb and it does sound like a BF amp,but it's tighter and more 1 dimentional....The VT's BF tones are great tones,but they don't quite sound like my PR amp..The VT would sound alot better through the Fender cab though and I thought the EQing of the VT was great and really gets the BF quot;vibequot; well....

The VT has so many cool models and features and I put it up against a really good sounding BF amp of mine....It's only one tone comparison also.... hey man, I'm putting a new OT in my Pro soon, one with more balls.

Yep....The stock OT pretty much sucks! I have a Hoffman Bassman transformer that I put in mine many years ago...I did some cool stuff with mine today....It was a great amp before,but I took it up another notch...Always tweaking!

Great review John, thanks! This amp just keeps on amazing me with the great tones.

Agreed buddy....It's not fair to put my $600 vox head up against my incredible sounding Pro Reverb amp...And yet the VT has alot more to offer in tonal versatility or just versatility alone..

id take my BF amp over a modeler any day....simply because i only use clean or cranked BF tones, and i get that with your special TS9 and my bandmaster.

For me though....Variety is the spice of life. ...You see me playing through my BF Pro Reverb in my avatar picture and with some great pedals,I can easily cover everything our band does...I agree with you there brother....I Like keeping my cool vintage stuff at home now and prefer to use my Vox or my Cyber Twin when we play out...I still get great tone with these 2 amps...
