Fender '68 Custom Pro Reverb
Any owners here?
I demo'd one today with a Tele.. Great sounding amp. Classic 60's Fender sound. Appreciate the lighter weight. Seems a bit pricey. It didn't seem as loud as I expected for a 40W tube amp (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Tell me what you love or don't about it.. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...tube-combo-amp

I don't own one, but when I hear one of these, I really notice it. These are really great sounding amps. I have noticed a lot of super good jazz players (Anthony Wilson, for example) play these Pro Reverb amps.

I could see why a serious jazz player would use one. Very clean.

Original Pro Reverb
A guitar player I worked with back in the early 70's had a Fender Pro. He was playing a Gibson ES-150 through it. Great little amp with plenty of juice for small club dates. Very reliable too. My personal preference however was the Super Reverb. I preferred the crispness of the 4 x 10 speaker setup.

Get a PTP amp if you want the real thing. Personally 40 watts is way more than I need. Heck my 12 watt Princeton Reverb is far too loud for most gigs these days.

I love mine.
 One thing some don't know is that there is only a handful of components difference between the '68 Custom and the '65 Prince RI and it is easy to flip back and forth. I did a full review, HERE and used this nice YouTube clip from Nariman Rastegar in my review: He used a Tube Screamer, a delay, a '68 Princeton Custom, and Strat to create the tones on this song. Bob

Pulled the trigger today...
Took home a brand-new Fender '68 Custom Pro Reverb. A match made in heaven for my Tele. The clean is stunning and a Boss OD-3 in front is like a ride in the Bat Mobile. Last edited by FingahPickah; 12-03-2023 at 06:07 AM.

I had a 1975 Fender Pro Reverb (Silverface) that sounded great.
