November 20, 2000In Anaheim this January, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) proudly welcomes a new addition to its line of
Vintage Series amplifiers - the long awaited re-issue of the ‘65 Super
Reverb. This re-creation of the collectable “Blackface” Super Reverb
from the 1960s is sure to be an instant classic in its own right, and
promises not to disappoint reverb fanatics at this year’s winter NAMM
show.
Joining the classic ‘59 Bassman, ‘65 Deluxe Reverb and ‘65 Twin Reverb
in the Vintage Series ranks, the ‘65 Super Reverb is the latest product
from Fender’s amplifier group - designed by the world-class R&D team in
Scottsdale, Arizona, and manufactured at the state-of-the art
manufacturing facility in Corona, California. To faithfully replicate
the sound and feel of one of Leo Fender’s last original amplifier
designs, the engineers in R&D spent hundreds of hours with many vintage
Super Reverbs, studying their every aspect.
The result is an amplifier that looks, feels and, most importantly,
sounds just like its renowned predecessor. Throughout history, all
styles of guitar from blues to rock to country to jazz have benefited
from the unmistakable bite, clarity and dynamic range of the ‘65 Super
Reverb. With this new re-issue, today’s guitarists can experience the
same magic that has defined so much of how legendary music is made.
“We’ve had countless requests from players and retailers asking for the
Super Reverb,” says Shane Nicholas, marketing manager for Fender
amplifiers. “It’s a long awaited addition to our Vintage Series
re-issues and we’re all very excited to see it back.”
The ‘65 Super Reverb is a 40 Watt, all tube combo amplifier with tube
driven Reverb and Vibrato, and 4x10” Jensen P-10 Alnico speakers.
Covered in black Tolex, the Super Reverb is an aesthetic match to the
original with all the same features, including: two channels; Treble,
Mid, Bass, Master Volume, Reverb and Vibrato controls; and two-button
footswitch. Dimensions are: 24.5” H x 25” W x 10.5” D, 59.5 lbs.
US MSRP is $1,699.99. For more information, visit their web site at www.fender.com. |
