Amp for an ES-335?
David Quave
sound of this guitar. Will be using it in recording situations more than
live work. I have my eye on the 59 Bassman reissue. I keep hearing the hot
rod series from fender is to bright for this guitar. Any truth to that?
Seeking a clean bluesy
sound and some jazz tones with a little tube distortion.
thanks for any thoughts on this subject.

I like the RI Bassman with my 335; properly set-up, it's got a great sound,
but not much clean headroom.

There's this guy, Mike Zaite's his name, calls himself Dr. Z. He makes an 18
watt tube head called the Carmen Ghia. My 335 sounds *great* thru that amp
and at 18 watts, the Ghia is ideal for recording.

work well with alot of my guitars.
I believe this guitar amp is a 60 wtter.
I've heard that the newer hot rod reissues
are made so that their breakup threshold is
pretty low. My amp is about 5 years old and
I can take it up to a 7 before I start to hear
distortion. I prefer a cleaner sound but
I also, when I play R&R or blues or fusion,
I like it to get a little more aggressive.
I strongly believe that the amp should not be
pushed as it was in "pre-historic" days and
this statement is taking the advent of signal
processors into consideration. I can duplicate
any distortion with my digitech processor
hence letting my amp have a few more years
or trouble free life.
Good luck with your search. don't spend too
much money looking for that ever elusive
"sound"

had a real 57 four tens bassman and it sounded great so I guess a
reissue will be cool.

It has been my experience that any guitar with humbuckers will break
up too quickly with a tweed amp because they were made for single-coil
Fenders. I've had good luck with Fender silver-face amps such as the
Super Reverb or the Twin. Also try an old Gibson amp or a Marshall
Blusebreaker (very clean). Good luck.

I won't argue about the Dr. Z... heard too much good about them.
I use a 335 style guitar through a Hot Rod Deluxe with one 12", and
don't feel I have any problem at all with it being 'too bright', and
feel it's a good choice.

I just sold my ES-335 (too many guitars...), but it sounded devastating
through my reissue Marshall JTM45 head and reissue cab with Celestion
Greenbacks - reasonable jazz tones, *great* blues tones, and the clean
sound was sweet! It might be a little loud for recording, though.
My 335 sounded very nice through a Matchless Lightning reverb (2x10) as
well, but there wasn't much clean headroom.
Happy New Year!

heavy to lug around, so then I switched to a Peavey Special 130.
Now I no longer play my ES-335, I play an American Arch-top 7 string by Dale
Unger, which by the way is a superb guitar. The amp set up I now use is an
Evans 88 head with a Raezer's Edge cabinet . This new set up is light and
sounds as good as the Fender Twin which by the way had 2 JBL's.
So my recommendation is a good head with the Raezer's Edge cabinet .

Does this mean you've settled on the 335 over the PRS?
I use either a MusicMan 2x10 or (mostly) a boogie MK III head into a
Marshall 2x12 cab. The Music Man has predictably a bit more headroom
before breakup. I like both. The Boogie has lots of tonal
possibilities and works well in a cover band type of situation. A
good friend plays his 335 into a Marshall 100w (!) head and a 4x12 cab
and sounds really really good. I like the Matchless DC30 amps with
this guitar if you can pony up the money. Also try the Vox
reissues.... that'd pro'ly be lots o'fun

about A (low E string @ 5th fret). The top end is brillant.The
humbucking pickups are potent. A lot of spectrum to work with. Some amps
inherently have too much bass,even with the bass control set at "0", for
a 335 to sound balanced when using the neck pickup. I passed up a great
deal on a Fender Concert amp (the newer 1x12 combo,not a vintage 4x10)
because it was impossible to dial out enough bass to get a
smooth,tight,distinct sound from the N pickup. Johnny Smith stated he
was disappointed in some Fender amps for that reason.The Marshall amps
I've owned are not as "bassy" as a Fender - different engineering. My
Polytone does a decent low end reproduction of a 335. Amps with active
tone controls usually have the most bandwith to offer for the critical
82.4 hz (low E) thru 110 hz (A @ 5th fret,low E string). Some players
are acutely particular about tailoring the low end to a fine,distinct
tone with no boomy mush. Midrange is critical for defining the clarity
of the low end and bridging the lo & hi ends smoothly. Treble is usually
easy to manage on most amps.I've been a 335 player for a long time and
to my ear an amp with adequate low and midrange controls make a 335
sound best.So,what amp did I play my 335 through on last nights New
Years Eve gig? A Seymour Duncan Convertible 100. And the low end is too
mushy with the bass on "0" using the N pickup! That's why I'm seeking a
"Low-Cut" module to remedy the low end tailoring. Larry Carlton got a
fine sound from his 335 through a Boogie amp with the bass on 2 or 3
(uses a Dumble amp now). Ritenour has used Duncan amps (2) to get "his"
sound. Reportedly,Clapton is currently playing a 335 through a specially
built Fender Custom shop 2x12 tweed Deluxe amp. He was said to be using
that rig on a recent David Sanborn gig. Pick an amp that sounds good to
your ear throughout the tonal range of a 335. My favorite was a sweetly
voiced '60's Super Reverb that I wish I still owned. Happy New
Year!.....1ƒ1ƒ1999.....

One of the things about thinlines is that they sound good with many amps.
Mine sounds good through an Ampeg 50w ReverbeRocket all-tube reissue.

The Velocette 12R can be run at half-power, to obtain power-tube saturation
at 7.5 watts. See my information page:

Dunno, just plain think they're bright anyway. The Bassman would be cool,
but a splash of verb with the 335 is always nice...
Any truth to that?

think the 10's put a tighter focus on the sound where 12's get too spread out.
I agree that a little verb works well for these amps too. It might just be a
preconceived notion but I think of 335 guitars as being moderately clean and
excellent rhythm instruments. Obviously they are used for lots of stuff, but
for the harder rock and distortion styles they don't work as well. Plus, a
high gain amp can make them howl like Banshees if you stand in the wrong place
on stage. I believe, but am not certain, that Hollywood Fats played his 335
through a Vibrolux and he got some great sounds from it.
Good luck and post what you decide.

Check out the 335 through a Fender Vibrolux Reverb. Best to find an
older one (before they went to PCB).
My 335 sounds great through the Vibrolux Reverb -- better than through
my Deluxe Reverb -- I think the 2 tens in the Vibrolux clean up the 335
a bit.
Have fun and experiment with amps!

My buddy who owns a studio got a Dr. Z amp, and I think it sounds great;
somewhat of a Matchless vibe. I'm not exactly a tube amp connoisser, but if I
wanted a low watt tube amp for studio use, I'd definitely look into the doctor
Z.

a message from France ...
My '67 ES 355 was plugged into a Deluxe reverb end sixties.
This is in my opinion the best choice.
Obviously you have exactly the BB sound because he used it ...
but, the jazz sounds warm and clean.
I've seen a lot of artists using one (or two) Deluxe, even on stage,
with a mike in the front. Try it !

Boogie and gets a great sound through both. That guitar also sounds really
good through my brownface Pro and my '60's no-name Champ clone. As good as the
Twin sounds, though, if you're looking for blues tones at reasonable volume, it
may not work for you. I'd suggest any of the two 6L6-tube, 40-50 watt Fender
amps (e.g., Super, Pro, Bassman, Vibroverb).

Well hell yes.
While a 12" will have more lows than a 10".. comparing one to the
other... a 10" still has lows.. by adding two tens in a cab, he's
increased his low end.
I'd rather use another 12", myself, but so what? His would add lows.

A bass player friend of mine explained to me once (I forget exactly what the
specifics were, but it made sense at the time) that 10" speakers are indeed
better in some ways for low end than 12s or 15s. Notice that many high end
bass cabinets use multiple configurations of 10s, such as Hartke and Eden, just
to name a couple off the top of my head.

You sure can when there is more than one of them. It's dependent on the
geometry and electrical phasing. You get a radiation pattern set up which is
different for each frequency (reinforcement/cancellation) and so you get
filtering. If the filter characteristic has peaks at low frequencies then
you can add low end.
If you close mike one speaker of the cab then you will minimize this
filtering and pretty much lose this effect. So it's more of a studio thing.
To get this extra low end live you have to either close mike both speakers
and submix them or else mike them from a distance, which is usually not
practical from an isolation point of view.
I'm pretty sure Lexicon wasn't thinking of it in these terms when they
designed it, but their divergent 2x10 cabinet offers a chance at getting
some filtering while still close miking.

Yeah. It depends on the speakers, cabinet and what
the other stuff in the power chain are doing.
If the 10" are higher compliance ( e.g., more like
bass guitar/PA speakers ), yoo betcha.

No, I'm waiting for the Screaming Blue Muff Driver.
Apparently, you can turn the gain *and* the level
all the way down, for a *really* clean sound. Very
transparent, too.

Naah, really big tweeters have too much treble.

I heard it doesn't matter how much treble you have, just how you use it.

and I got rid of it. My '59 reissue bassman remains my favorite amp (and I
have owned a *lot* of amps). Don't own a 335, but every guitar I play sounds
great on the bassman.

It's actually pretty simple. Two 10" speakers have more surface area and move more
air than one 12" speaker,. plus they have the added benefit of responding quicker
for a given magnet power because they have a lower mass to magnet ratio. Specialty
low range 10" speakers can be developed, as in the Hartke and Eden that have
"long-through" cones and motors that are easier to control in a smaller speaker.
All that said, in general, two 12s will produce more low in than two 10s, but two
15s will beat them both.

the bass. This is because the bass frequencies radiate backwards off the
back of the cone. If the enclosure is pressure tight, then the back wave
forces the passive radiator forward, redirecting the bass to the front. This
can increase the bass by 10db or more.
