They added a Mid range tone pot for better control over your EQ, a Dwell control to the back of the chassis as a second EQ for the Reverb, and a Bright\/Dark Switch, so the amp would not be permanently wired in the Bright mode like the original. It also uses the same transformer set as their Vintage 22, (Black Face Deluxe Reverb style) and the same filter cap system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It's basically a single channel, handwired 65 Deluxe Reverb circuit, only lighter, more portable, and with several notable upgrades. Why pay for a channel you aren't going to use anyway and who needs the extra weight?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And to top it off, Vintage Sound has included all the desired improvements people have made to the Deluxe Reverb circuit over the years!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003eWhat are these improvements?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 1) One thing you'll notice is the addition of a \"MIDDLE\" tone control. This, of course, was not on the original Deluxe Reverb. So, why did Vintage Sound decide to add it in? Well, first of all, it absolutely does nothing to hurt the integrity of the circuit or tone. The original Fender circuit actually had a fixed \"MIDDLE\" that was set permanently at 6.8k. Vintage Sound removed this resistor from the circuit and replaced it with a much more versatile 10k pot. The result is you now have the ability to adjust this frequency range without compromising the original tone. If you want it to sound precisely like a 65 Deluxe Reverb, just turn the pot to around 6-7 and you're there. If you want to scoop the mids a touch, pull back. Warm the tone a bit, turn up. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 2) As mentioned above, the original circuit was somewhat bright. Many people used to pull the chassis and clip the bright cap allowing a darker tone from their amp. Others, on the other hand, liked it bright. We've eliminated the hassle by including a \"bright cap defeat\" switch. Flip it to Bright for the original tone, or flip it to dark to essentially \"clip\" the bright cap. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 3) Also included is a very nifty reverb dwell control which is on the rear of the chassis. Obviously, this too was omitted on the original circuit, but it comes in quite handy for adjusting the amount of decay the reverb has. Very nice!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 4) Another smart alteration is the incorporation of a Diaz based tremolo mod and a newly designed oscillator unique to Vintage Sound Amps. This accomplishes a few things... You'll notice the Vibrato has the ability to be slower than stock Fenders. The vibrato being too fast was always a complaint people had with vintage Fender Deluxe amps (and still do to this day). The other advantage this gives is when you turn the dial all the way down, you switch off the vibrato circuit, bypassing it and leaving you with a cleaner, more pure signal. The result is a slightly more present tone, and a bit of a bump in volume. Furthermore, with the older Deluxe Reverbs, you can hear a \"ticking\" sound with the vibrato. This is caused by several design flaws in the original circuit allowing the LFO signal to leak into the audio path. These issues have been addressed with a Vintage Sound specifically designed photo-cell tremolo, better routing of the wires, superior components, and filtering of the oscillator output.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e5) External Bias Points have been added so as to more easily bias the amp when you swap out tubes.  This was previously an upcharge, but starting in 2017 these are now included on the Vintage 22sc.  Nice!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003eSo, what do you end up with?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A truly amazing sounding Deluxe Reverb channel that's truly more toneful than an original with nothing modified in a way that disrupts the original tone. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wattage: 22 watts\u003cbr\u003e Preamp Tubes: 4 x 12AX7, 2 X 12AT7\u003cbr\u003e Power Tubes: 2 x 6V6 (optional 2x6L6)\u003cbr\u003e Rectifier: 1 x 5AR4 \u003cbr\u003e Front Controls: Bright\/Dark Switch, Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Speed, Intensity\u003cbr\u003e Rear Controls: Dwell (Very cool custom feature for controlling the reverb decay time!)\u003cbr\u003e Effects: Tube Driven Spring Reverb, Tube Vibrato\u003cbr\u003e Speaker: 12\" : WGS G12C\/S\u003cbr\u003e Inputs: 2 Inputs\u003cbr\u003e Auxiliary Input: RCA Footswitch Jack\u003cbr\u003e Extension Speaker Jack: External Speaker Jack\u003cbr\u003e Circuit Construction: All Point-to-Point, Hand-wired\u003cbr\u003e Cabinet Construction: Dove-tail jointed solid pine w\/Baltic Birch Plywood baffle and back panels\u003cbr\u003e Pilot Light: Blue Amp Jewel\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #f03d04; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eExternal Bias Points now included on all 22sc amps!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Combo Dimensions: 16\" High x 19 7\/8\" Wide x 9 1\/2\" Deep\u003cbr\u003e Optional Accessories: Two Button Footswitch, Padded Cover\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 37 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003eWhy the WGS G12C\/S speaker?\u003c\/b\u003e We chose the WGS G12C\/S for several reasons. The G12C\/S is essentially their take on the Jensen C12n, but with several refinements, such as a smoother top end, more touch sensitivity, and an overall warmer tone. A Black Face circuit can be somewhat sharp and trebly, particularly when distorted. The G12C\/S addresses this very well with it's more rounded top end which is very noticeable on bright guitars like a Telecaster, etc. Furthermore, Warehouse Guitar Speakers are made here in the USA and not in China like most of today's Celestions. Added bonus!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This speaker works great with lower wattage amps in allowing a bit more clean headroom. When driven harder, the breakup you'll get with the Vintage Sound 22sc will be all tube saturated overdrive and not distortion from the speaker. This speaker is based on the popular G12C, but with a smooth cone, felt dust cap, and just the right amount of edge treatment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":30112897793,"sku":"VSVIN22SCBKWALNUT","price":2695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/Vintage-Sound-Amps-22SC-Walnut-Combo-Main.JPG?v=1516890869","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/vintage-sound-vintage-22sc-black-walnut","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
