In the early eighties, Fender had their entire amplifier lineup reworked by notable amplifier designer Paul Rivera. Amplifiers made during these years are considered to be among the best Fenders made since the late '60s and represent Fender's last generation of non-PCB standard-production amplifier models.

The Concert is a tube-driven two-channel amplifier with a gain control, built-in reverb, and push-pull mid boost and bright controls that was offered in 1x12", 4x10" and 2x10" formats. This pricing information only applies to 2x10" models.
