My first amp I got from my second guitar teacher, Pete Kennedy( of the Kennedy's- NOT Dead Kennedy's) had just gotten my Les Paul I busted my butt all summer for and wanted a decent amp, preferbly tubes , Asked Pete if he knew anyone selling an affordable tube amp, and he told me he'd sell my his 64' Deluxe Reverb , I was like Ah Man that thing is prolly worth as much as my Les Paul ! and he said no reverb pan, non orginal speaker ( this was 74) Said he'd sell it for $150 to me, I went and practically begged my mom for it, told her what it was worth , ect, She just said" I'll talk to Pete" Welp that amp was under or infront of, Our Christmas Tree and I had it for 29 Years, Speaker was replaced twice, only went to two service techs in that time it was strangly much louder than any other Deluxe I put it next to , Pete had bought it second hand in 65, along with his Strat I miss that amp incredibly lived over 24 of its years with me, without a reverb pan, just sounded THAT good
