Which tubes will give my Super Reverb high gain tone at 3-4 volume?
I love the break up on my '73 Super Reverb, but it needs to be turned up to 8 or 9 before it starts. I really prefer it over the tone of distortion/overdrive pedals. I guess it defeats the purpose of buying such a notoriously clean amp, but I would love to have the option. Would different tubes allow more responsiveness to my guitar's volume? Is there an overdrive pedal out there that boosts without coloring? Do I just need to buy a second amp?
Well a proper overdrive pedal is designed to do exactly what you're asking.
When overdrive pedals first came out, their intended purpose was to push the amp into overdrive at a lower volume. Pedal makers kept upping the ante so to speak, and eventually they started marketing pedals that produced that distorted sound on their own (distortion pedals).
Try a simple overdrive pedal like the old Tube Screamers. Maxon makes an excellent replica of the early TS9's, they call it the OD9. In fact, Maxon was the contract builder for the old TS9's. The parts they use in the OD9's are the same ones that were in those old Tube Screamers.
If that colors the tone too much, try the Xotic AC Booster (http://www.xotic.us/effects/ac_booster/). Electro Harmonix has a few really awesome boosters that are pretty transparent, such as the LPB-1, LPB-2UBE, and the Signal Pad.
You may also consider a power attenuator, such as the THD Hot Plate. This will allow you to crank the amp all the way up to it's breaking point, but still keep the volume under control.
Out of all those options, I think I would try the LPB-1 first. It's only $40 and it's from EHX, and everything they make sounds wonderful and lasts forever. Turn it on and kick the amp in the ass, then click it back off and go back to that pristine Fender clean.
