Item Description

Step into the realm of vintage-inspired brilliance with the Fender Pro Reverb Blackface Amp Pro Tube Series Guitar Amplifier, a rare and coveted piece from Fender’s early 2000s Pro Tube Series. This amplifier pays homage to the legendary Blackface designs of the mid-1960s, blending that iconic tone with modern craftsmanship to create a sonic masterpiece that’s as much a collector’s treasure as it is a performer’s dream.

At its heart, this Pro Reverb delivers 40 watts of pure tube-driven power through a pair of 6L6GC output tubes, complemented by a quartet of 12AX7 and a single 12AT7 preamp tubes. The result is a rich, harmonically complex sound with the shimmering cleans and dynamic responsiveness that made the Blackface era a golden age for Fender. Equipped with a Jensen Special design 12-inch speaker —this amp produces a full, room-filling tone with a tight low-end, sparkling mids, and a crisp, airy top-end that’s perfect for everything from jazz to blues to classic rock.

The amp features two distinct channels—Normal and Vibrato—each with its own set of controls for maximum versatility. The Normal channel offers a straightforward, pristine clean tone with Volume, Treble, and Bass knobs, ideal for pedal enthusiasts or purists seeking uncolored sound. The Vibrato channel takes it up a notch, adding Bright switch, Middle control, and Fender’s signature tube-driven reverb and tremolo (labeled as Vibrato on the panel). This channel delivers the lush, dripping-wet reverb and pulsating tremolo that Blackface amps are famous for, with Speed and Intensity knobs to dial in everything from subtle warbles to deep, surf-style throbs.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Pro Reverb sports the classic Blackface aesthetic—black Tolex covering, silver grille cloth, and a control panel adorned with chicken-head knobs—all evoking the timeless look of its 1960s predecessors. The Pro Tube Series enhancements include improved durability and modern wiring standards, ensuring this amp can handle the rigors of regular use while retaining that vintage soul. A three-prong grounded power cord adds safety and reduces noise, a thoughtful update over earlier models.

Whether you’re chasing the crystalline cleans of a Twin Reverb, the punchy bite of a Deluxe, or the ambient magic of a Princeton, this Pro Reverb sits beautifully in the sweet spot, offering a balanced output that’s loud enough for gigs yet manageable for home or studio use. The tube reverb, driven by a dedicated 12AT7, creates a spacious, three-dimensional effect that enhances chords and single notes alike, while the tremolo circuit provides an organic, hypnotic pulse that’s hard to replicate with pedals.

This amplifier isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement. Produced in limited numbers during the early 2000s, the Pro Tube Series Pro Reverb is a sought-after piece for Fender aficionados, combining the nostalgic vibe of the Blackface lineage with the reliability of modern engineering. Perfect for players who demand versatility, collectors who covet rarity, or studios aiming to capture authentic Fender tone, this amp is ready to deliver decades of inspiration. Bid now and secure your chance to own a modern classic that channels the spirit of Fender’s golden era!
