Vintage 1986 Fender Musical Instruments Sidekick Reverb 35 Blackface Guitar Amp Rivera Designed

In the 1980s Paul Rivera set out to help Fender Japan design the Sidekick series and other Fender amps as shown in the video link attached. This amp sold new for in 1986 for the equivalent of $776+ (per inflation).

This very rare 1986 “black face" Fender Sidekick Reverb 35 electric guitar amp has the original foot-switch, speaker, and lush spring reverb. It is 100% original and unmodified, and the original 12” Fender blue label speaker sounds awesome. The metal parts show oxidation and the handle is intact. This example is from 1986 and features state of the art solid state technology of its time, with dual inputs, full range spring reverb, presence controls, volume, gain, and master, allowing you to get great distortion.

Measures 17" x  17" x  10" and weighs 25.5 lb. It certainly gets loud enough for small gigs, yet is light enough to travel with.

This amp also has its original ground plug intact as well. Please photos for condition. These Paul Rivera designed solid state amps are getting rare and they don't come up often with functional reverb. This sold for about $776 new back in 1986 and it is in 100% working condition. It'll be professionally packed for shippment with same day tracking number.

Additional info from Fender:

"With 35 solid Watts and a special heavy-duty 12" speaker, it's ready to take on club and studio dates. A special effects loop (pre-amp out / power-amp in) is the ideal place to patch in your effects devices for less noise and more clarity. The sophisticated, high-gain preamp features Master Volume and 3-band active EQ, plus a Presence control for even more tasty tonal possibilities. Add the built-in Reverb and you've got a hard-working, truly professional performer."
