A 1996 Fender Concert amp typically refers to the "Pro Tube Series" Concert (often called the Concert '93 or "Pro Tube" Concert) produced in the mid-1990s, which is a 60-watt 1x12 or 2x10 combo known for a high-gain design. These amps were designed to be versatile, featuring two channels (clean/overdrive) and a versatile, tube-driven effects loop.

Key Features (1990s Pro Tube Concert):

  • Power: 60 Watts, tube-powered.
  • Channels: Two channels: Channel 1 (Clean) and Channel 2 (Gain 1/Gain 2).
  • Speakers: Generally 1 x 12" or 2 x 10" Fender special design speakers.
  • Features: Tube-driven Reverb, "Performer" 3-way variable effects loop (can mix dry/wet signal), and a quasi-balanced line out.
  • Design: Often features a "Pro Tube" badge; part of a series aiming for higher gain capabilities than traditional Fender amps.
  • Weight: Significant due to transformers; 1x12 versions are around 57 lbs. 

Important Distinctions:

  • Not a Rivera: Do not confuse this '90s model with the Paul Rivera-designed Concerts from 1982-1987, which were hand-wired, 60-watt, 1x12 or 4x10 amps considered "sleeper" amps.
  • 1996 Context: 1996 was the same year Fender introduced the Prosonic, designed by Bruce Zinky, a 2x10 combo with different circuitry and switchable rectifiers. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The 1990s Concert is prized for its high-gain, versatile nature, distinguishing it from the vintage-voiced Fender amps.
