![]() The Burnside is the tweed amp for guys who want a tweed but not at the sacrifice of the low end holding together. I would run two amps for this reason, usually a tweed deluxe and the DR. The low end thump/ bounce I get from a BF Fender is what I always missed when using smaller tweed amps. You can get a pretty scooped tone with some knob twisting but that’s not really why you buy a tweed style amp. Tone wise there is much more mids available than either the PR or DR. The Burnside is way bigger sounding than a Princeton and as big if not bigger sounding than the 74 Deluxe Reverb I had been using for the last 20 years. I have a 58 Pro and 57 Super but the Burnside is what gets played anymore. This makes them more usable at gig volume and makes me not miss the low end thump of a BF Fender. ![]() To me these are essentially tweed amps that have more refined power supplies so they hold together better while retaining the overall tweed tone. There are great sounds in there with some pretty unorthodox settings so experiment. There are a lot of options with the EQ so definitely take some time to get familiar with it. The speaker does need to break in but works well once it does so I have not felt that it needed changed. I assume the guy who said it’s too big/heavy was in a coma until recently and is just regaining the use of his limbs. It is much louder than you would expect and has covered loud club gigs and even outdoor gigs without being mic’d. The head/cab setup has more low end but surprisingly I use the combo most of the time. ![]() I have the 112 combo and the head with 112 cab also. ![]()
