Fender Pro Reverb Amp 1966
Fender Pro Reverb Amp, made in USA 1966. The Po Reverb debuted in late 1964 as a scaled-down version of the iconic Fender Twin. They were made until 1981, although these earlier Blackface era examples are more sought-after than the later Silverface models. You get two twelve inch speakers, reverb and vibrato, like a Twin, but at 40w and 25kg, it's a little lighter, smaller and breaks up a little more readily. This one was purchased used in NYC in the 1970s by a busy touring player Mike Fiesta, and has played all over the world with Shakin' Stevens. It's an amazing sound: extremely full and rich down low, dripping with complexity and nuance through the mids, and crystal clear and expansive up top. With the volume above 7, it starts to break up with a gorgeous girthy growl. Save for the usual caps and tubes, this is all original, and in amazing condition. These very seldom pop up in Australia, so you're not likely to get a second shot any time soon. So Pro!
NOTE: this amp runs on USA standard 110v power, and requires a 240-110v stepdown transformer to use in Australia/NZ.
