QR Code Link to This Post
It is one of the last point-to-point, hand-wired Fender amps made in the USA. Belonging to the "II" series of amps produced during Fender's "Rivera" era.
The Fender Concert was engineered by Paul Rivera, (of Rivera Amplification), when he worked for Fender in the early 1980s.
This amp has an effects loop in the back with separate SEND and RETURN level knobs. It also has a real tube driven spring reverb.
The amp features a pair of 6L6 Groove Tube power tubes that produce 60 watts, a solid-state rectifier, a preamp utilizing the 7025, (12AX7), tube, a tube reverb section that works on both channels using a 12AT7 for the reverb driver and a 7025 for the reverb recovery and a tube driven effects loop that also uses a 7025. The Concert's two channels each have separate tone. Channel one is the Fender clean with controls for Volume, (pull for bright), Treble and Bass. The Concert's channel two is a high gain channel with controls for Volume, (pull for channel switch), Gain, Master Volume, Treble, Mid, (pull for boost), Bass, Reverb and Presence. Both channels share high and low inputs and standby / power switches.
The single 12" Fender speaker has been upgraded with two 12" Eminence Patriot series, Texas Heat speakers. The amp chassis is in a nice Fender Twin cabinet to accommodate.
