Disruptor Amps

1968 Fender Bassman Head / 1972 Fender Twin Reverb

These amps are used by ETx - the Bassman has been the main bass amp. The 72 Twin Reverb needed a complete go thru - it was mildly blackfaced and tweaked with a Celestion V30 and G12H for speakers and now is the main amp for ETx Rythym guitarist Phil. Clean, mellow, and LOUD!!!

Not for sale as of now. Band uses these.

1976 Silverface (in looks only) Deluxe reverb - think Tommy James Hanky Panky - the tone is nailed.

Completely Blackfaced, not just the usual change few caps out - this was recently rewired as AB763 with new cloth wiring just like the blackfaced amp wiring jobs. It uses a GZ34 rectifier like the 1966 version and has been set up to run with that tube. It also has 2 Bias controls for separate matching your two power tubes if they are not a matched pair. New Tolex, Faceplate, Knobs, Power Tranny, Mecurury Magnetics Output Tranny and Grill Cloth / Frame. Also new power cord and caps.

Recently Sold to a happy guitarist!

 

66 Fender Deluxe Reverb

This amp had a modification to it to run 2 6L6GTs and break up early - it was a working blues player amp. It has a new plywood baffle / grill cloth combination. Recently a Mercury Magnetics Power Tranny was installed as the Silverface one which came with it began making funny noises. I guess they put the silverface tranny to handle the 6L6s - not a great idea....However using todays power transformers is a great idea as they are designed to put out vintage secondary voltages with todays higher primaries or mains input voltages - its easier on the amp downstream even if it detracts a bit from the collectibility. I have the original (warped) baffle which goes with it. There are also some cap replacements and 3 wire earth ground power cord. This amp is a wonderful sounding piece of history.

Sold to a happy home.

Recent Restoration of a 68 Princeton Reverb (with blackface front)

Before

Baffle Board was particle board and had been soaked - it was literally falling apart.

Before

Chassis was cleaned with gas or some other petro product at some point because certain parts were stained and discolored and smelled like old gasoline - heavy rust in many areas - all kinds of dirt and corrosion.

After

Chasssis cleaned - except for some spots that were beyond help - new caps - pots - resistors when needed - new power tranny - bias control pot - earthground mains installed - all new cloth wiring.

After

New plywood baffle - some new knobs - new hardware and handle - tolex repaired and cleaned - new Weber Alnico Speaker and the circuit changes I made, make this Princeton Reverb sing better than the stock one I had in 68.
