For sale is a phenomenal example of a 1973 Fender Dual Showman Reverb "Silverface" head. If you're searching for that iconic, articulate, and three-dimensional clean tone that defined a generation of music, this is it. Amp delivers the legendary Silverface sparkle and warmth with incredible headroom, making it one of the ultimate pedal platforms. At 85 watts, it's the perfect volume for both stage and studio, capable of staying clean at loud volumes or breaking into rich, musical overdrive when pushed.
Condition: This Dual Showman Reverb is in Good vintage condition. The original tolex and grill cloth are in good shape for its age, with only minor signs of wear that add to its authentic character. The faceplate is not the best but shows age. Functionally, both channels work perfectly, the controls are responsive.
Professional and Thoughtful Service: This Dual Showman Reverb has been professionally serviced with a focus on safety and reliability while preserving as much of the original circuit and tone as possible. The goal was to make it gig-ready for years to come, without changing parts unnecessarily.
The following essential service has been completed:
- Power Supply Caps & Resistors: All filter capacitors and their Resistors (in the doghouse) have been replaced.
- Tone Caps: Replace channel 1 & 2's Bass and Treble Caps.
- Fender 'Ticking' Tremolo Circuit: Added the .01uf to Tremolo to quiet the 'Tremolo Ticking' issue.
- Removed: Death Cap.
- Added Adjustable Bias: Added Adjustable Bias to help keep the 6L6gc's from making noise. I have it set for the way I like it but you can change that.
All other circuit components, including other iconic parts are original to the amp and are functioning perfectly. The original transformers, the heart and soul of the amp's tone, are intact.
Other Notes:
- Chassis# 'A 59621'
- Tubes are a various of modern and vintage tubes.
- Video was made with 2024 Gibson SG Standard. Using my Tech21 Preamp made the amp really come alive.
