Fender Super Reverb Vintage Silver-to-Blackface Conversion 1971

This Silver-to-Blackface conversion was done by Vintage Sound Amps in 2001 (url: vintagesoundamps). Though VSA make their own brand of hand-wired

versions of Fender amps, they also do Fender Silver-to-Blackface conversions,

which includes most everything such as a correct Blackface transformer and the correct Blackface tube bias circuit.

Based on the transformer code and bias circuit inside the chassis (that I reviewed with the seller's amp tech and his amp book), this one was converted to a 1966. This amp has the original 1970 10" CTS speakers (137 7049N). The power chassis frame is also original from 1971. Also included are the correct footswitch and a black vinyl Fender-logo amp cover, both are also in excellent condition. I replaced the baffle In 2019 with a new one.

I spotted this amp while visiting the fine folks at Blue Angel Music in late-Nov 2011 while I was on a business trip in Pensacola, FL area. For what it's worth, it sounded better than an all-original '66 Blackface that was sitting right next to it. Deciding that I wanted to re-live my (much) younger years (when | owned a '67 Super Reverb), I bought it. Now that l've fully relived that part of my youth, l've decided to let this go from my collection to a new home to live on.

If you're looking to buy a VG+++ condition vintage Fender Super Reverb converted to a Blackface this is a real find!
