The late-50s tweed-covered Fender Bandmaster guitar amplifier combined great looks with sweet tone and powerful performance.

The Bandmaster Reverb is rated at 40 watts and is very similar to the Vibrolux or Super Reverbs of the blackface era. It sounds like a big brother to a vintage Fender Deluxe reverb from the mid-60's.

Super-Sonic 112 Combo Super-Sonic 212 & 412 Enclosures Super-Sonic Head. The amp is a Bandmaster Reverb head that has been "blackfaced" to AB763 specs (tone stack mod, caps). This combined with the fact that I want a head rather than a combo makes this a tempting proposition.This is a custom 1969 Bandmaster Reverb Combo. With a fender reverb unit, would a blackface bandmaster basically just be a head version of the deluxe? That would be awesome b/c the bandmasters are not very expensive. So is it possible that these two items are otherwise the same in terms of basic wiring and electronics? Of course this leads to the question of how they compare in terms of sound. Obviously I know one is a combo, and one is a head, and of course the deluxe is 22 watts and the bandmaster is 40 watts.
I know that both have the AB763 circuit, though many other blackfaces like the bassman and others don't use this circuit. I am curious if anyone knows what technical differences there are between the Deluxe reverb and the bandmaster. Since I would prefer to get a head rather than combo, it looks like a bandmaster blackface might be a good fit for me. I really love the guitar tone of folks like Neil Young and Ryan Adams, and I have read that they both use the blackface Deluxe Reverb (I read also that Adams switched to Princeton Reverbs though).
As some of you may remember from earlier posts, I have had trouble with sympathetic resonances and rattles from tubes with COMBO amps, so I was looking to get a blackface head. The Bandmaster Reverb, Pro Reverb, and Bassman from the mid 60s and 70s are heads with piggyback 2×12 cabinets, and all sound best with the same speaker. I am looking at getting a blackface amplifier, and I fancy the AB763 circuit.
