My friend Ian Anderson plays a Strat that he made through a vintage 1964 Fender Vibroverb. He told me that this amp is the holy grail of Fender amps for collectors and one of the amps of choice of Stevie Ray Vaughan and to my surprise, you can totally get his tone without ANY pedals, not even a Tube Screamer, just straight into the amp with a single cord. Very hot rodded tones.
