Fresh off the work bench. Rare 1983 Fender Showman. This amp can dial in so many different tones, its loud, heavy, has spring reverb, and is solid state. You would think it's a Tube Amp with some of the sounds you can get, and it will take pedals very very well. I almost kept this amp, but l have so many and not enough room. I do not have an original Footswitch, but I will include the build sheet on how to make one.


“Showman Series – The pinnacle of the amplifier designer’s craft, with every conceivable control and feature backed up by a sizzling 200-watt power stage. The lead channel’s “active” tone circuitry includes Bass and Treble plus two separate Mid controls. Combined with Volume, Gain, and Master controls, plus the programmable 5-band graphic EQ, this setup gives a range of sounds that you could spend years exploring. Even the normal channel has Bright and Mid Boost switches for extra flexibility. Add the effects loop, and you’ve got the ultimate performer’s amp

I thoroughly cleaned the amp inside and out.

Replaced a couple capacitors and an op amp.

This thing is ready for another 40+ years. Pickup only
