1968 Fender Super Reverb Vintage Tube Amp w/ Celestion, Brown Panel & Blonde Tolex, Larry Rodgers

Up for sale, a 1968 Fender Super Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a two-button footswitch. Redone cosmetically years ago with a new cabinet furnished and finished by the late, great Larry Rodgers, the amp now sports Brown Panel-era cosmetics with a custom made faceplate, cream barrel knobs, rough blonde tolex and oxblood grillcloth. Smaller details have also been adhered to as well including the dogbone handle and flat Fender logo. For those who haven't experienced Rodger's work in person, he was truly in a class of his own when it comes to faithfully replicating vintage Fender amp aesthetics.The amp features a modern quad of Celestion G10R-30 ceramic magnet speakers, pushing 40 watts of pure Fender clean tone via a pair of Sovtek 6L6GC power tubes. Perfect for gigging situations and an ideal recording amplifier, the amp provides pristine, muscly Fender cleans until you hit the 4-5 range on the volume dial, where tube breakup sends the amp into smooth overdrive, a voicing further enhanced by the Celestion speakers. The Reverb is lush and deep, and the Tremolo has a nice pulse, with everything from swampy and slow to choppy rat-a-tat pulses.Transformers include the original Schumacher-made output transformer, choke, and reverb transformer, with a replacement power transformer that matches vintage spec. All of the original CTS pots are intact, with visible date codes going all the way back to '66, and the preamp has been largely rebuilt with premium tubular Sozo caps, and metal film resistors used in key areas for a low noise floor. The power cable has been upgraded to a modern three-prong for safety's sake, and the power supply has been professionally recapped with F&Ts. The chassis itself is clean, and the metal replica brown Super Reverb faceplate is outfitted with modern cream Fender barrel knobs.The quad of Celestion 10" speakers have clean frames, mounted to a solid pine baffle. The finger-jointed baltic birch cabinet is incredibly well-built via Larry Rodger's shop, and this resonant cabinet exceeds Fender's cabinet quality in the late '60s, especially when it comes to the solid baffle in lieu of the MDF baffles Fender used in the era. The amp is near mint cosmetically with all the correct touches for an early '60s Brown Panel amp including smooth blonde tolex, oxblood grillcloth, chrome tilt-back legs, a flat Fender logo on the face, and a dogbone handle on top.A modern replica two-button footswitch is included.
