Fender Reverb Tank 1964 Brown Tolex Painted Black

This is a great conversion candidate for a recover in rough white tolex and oxblood grill cloth & a leather handle, converting it to the impossible to find rarest and coolest version of these reverb tanks!

This is a 1964 Fender Reverb Tank Unit in Brown Tolex that has been painted black. Back in the 1960’s, when the Black Tolex amps came out, musicians wanted to stay current, and some painted their amp tolex from brown to black.

This has all Pre-CBS features with some 1963 date codes.

This sounds great as it is. These add a dimension to the tone of Fender tweed, brown and white tolex amps that you just can’t get any other way. It adds more than just the reverb, it adds color.

If you have Tweed, Brown or White tolex amps and don't have one of these, you are missing out.

A few of the caps look like they have been changed. Power cord has a new plug in end on it. As with all of these vintage amplifiers, this should be serviced for safety. Will be well packed for shipping with the reverb pan secured.
