Up for sale is one of the most iconic amps ever made, this vintage Fender Super Reverb from 1966! That’s when Love released the 7 and 7 Is, and the birth of Mike Randle. Legend has it (according to Mike, who would know, considering he is in Love with Johnny Echols), the tone on that song was acheived by turning all of the knobs to 7. This amp is one of Fender’s best ever made from its ’60s golden era!
So many legendary guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Alex Lifeson, Wayne Kramer, Johnny Marr and so many more have used a Fender Super Reverb. This amp brings you iconic amp tones pumped through a powerful set of 4×10″ speakers. While it has been often been viewed as a tweed Bassman with reverb & tremolo, this amp combo brought Fender’s best designs of the late ’50s and early ’60s into the forefront. This amp’s tone is a part of the archetypal blackface sound. Clear, crisp and atriculate, with the ability to break up nicely, it’s defined by a slightly scooped voicing, with firm, tight lows, and glassy, sparkling highs.
This amp is all original; it’s completely straight with the original transformer, speakers, etc., It has some tears in the grille cloth but overall in good conditition especially considering its age. This amp is 60 years old and still bringing incredible tones. The tolex is surprisingly clean, without major tears or dings. The faceplate is especially nice on this one.
We’ve had the amp vetted and tested to good working order. And if you’re wondering, yes it sounds amazing! This is a great score for vintage Fender amp collectors, or for any player needing the power and tone that only a Super Reverb can provide.
