Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1963 Fender Tremolux in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This is one of the earliest Fender amps to boast a Blackface circuit, and the transitional cosmetics also reflect this amp’s early production run, with smooth blonde tolex and wheat grillcloth! Powered by a pair of NOS RCA 6L6GC power tubes, these vintage USA made valves deliver a sweetness, power, and harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Of course the real draw of the Tremolux is its ability to produce those shimmering Fender cleans with rich, balanced tones that work great with a host of effect pedals. The tremolo has a nice, deep pulse as well, with a wide range of speeds. The circuit is very original, and has been properly maintained with the highest quality components. All of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps are intact in the preamp (a huge part of the Blackface sound), in addition to the original pots and cloth wiring. The main filter caps and smaller bypass caps have been replaced with a combination of factory spec Sprauge Atoms and F&T capacitors. All of the original Schumacher transformers are intact, and date to fairly early in’63, and the serial number on the chassis is notable for its very early number, A002XX! The speakers are a pair of era correct Jensen C10Q speakers that sound fantastic with great punch, warmth, and clarity. The speakers date from later in’66, yet are the right wattage and style of speaker seen in a Blackface Tremolux and are a great match for this amp. The tube chart is unfortunately mostly gone from inside the head cabinet, and this is a fairly common occurrence, but thankfully all other date codes on the amp are legible. The original smooth blonde tolex is intact on both the head and the speaker cab, along with the original wheat grillcloth, which has been bleached almost white by decades of exposure to the sun and has some light staining as well. The cabinet has its stock pat. Pending tilt-back legs and piggyback inserts, while the head has the corresponding piggyback clip bars. Both logos on the head and cab are original, and the early Blackface faceplate features the original black skirted witch hat knobs. Overall, this is a very clean and well cared for Tremolux, and the blonde tolex is in truly remarkable shape. Aside from light surface rust on the hardware, a few light scuffs on the enclosures, and some wear along the edges of the faceplate, there’s truly very little to mention about this classic, Pre-CBS Fender amp!
