Hey there -- I saw somewhere, at some point (can't remember if it was here or on Gear Page) someone had said they love the Rhythm channel so much on the Maverick that they wish the amp just had 2 rhythm channels instead of the lead channel. I understand the sentiment, because for me, the Lead...

that's a really really good point. i am actually not running it particularly loud. i typically have the channel master volume around 3 and output level around 3-4 -- and that's for live performance, with the amp mic'd. it has a lot more juice than what i'm using -- don't get me wrong, it is...

The Invader I would describe as a pretty well balanced speaker (based on a Celestion Greenback, they say). The previous speaker in this amp was a Vintage 30, and this is in the same ballpark. There are some samples here. I've also got some spare speakers from a shootout I was doing (2 Alnico...

One of the things I tend to like when I hear amps like Fender Deluxe (blackface) is that it seems to have good low and high end (same with my Tweed Deluxe, albeit a different character). It really sounds to me like the Maverick has dialed out the low...

Years and years ago, when I first bought the amp, I had an external Mesa 1x12 Thiele style cabinet, with an EVM in it. It was definitely a tighter low end, but also more brittle. I ended up selling it :) I have always preferred the open back tones and slightly looser sounding speakers more.

Yes, I do use a pedal board, but the tone doesn't differ noticeably between my bypassed chain and plugging straight in. I think your point about the cab size is probably the main thing. I...

Hi all (this is my first post), I've got a Maverick 1x12 Combo -- had it for about 30 years now, and it's my favorite amp by far! I almost always use the clean channel for the style of music I play (classic rock and pop). Over the years, it's had a number of different speakers in it --...
