You are looking at a Vintage 1965 85 Watt Fender Showman “Blackface” All Tube Amp Head. The Fender Showman was introduced in 1960 and discontinued in 1993. This is an early model Pre CBS “Blackface” model with the original Blackface AB763 circuit. Fender used the AB763 circuit from 1963 to 1967 and than changed to the Silverface circuit AB568 in 1968. This is the circuit when a “Blackface” Mod is done. This is the “Right” one. This is the Iconic Blackface. Dick Dale the legendary Godfather of “Surf Music” was enlisted by Fender as a Test Pilot to help develop the Showman Amp. Dick Dale has frequently spoken of his role in the development of the Showman, and boasts of having blown up nearly 50 amplifiers before Fender achieved a design that could take his heat. Whether or not the seminal surf guitarist exaggerates, his claims encompass the ambition of the Showman. The keys to creating the bigger, stronger, and louder amp required lay primarily in two major ingredients; a new output transformer (OT) and a new speaker cab design. The result is a nearly indestructible amp. Showman amps are revered for their big, sparkly clean tone. As you turn the amp up the cleans turn smoothly into that classic Blackface grind. With lots of neutral clean headroom, the amp makes a great platform for pedals as well.

Up for sale, a 1967 Harmony model 525 tube amp in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Made in Chicago, USA by Valco (the parent company known for producing the Supro, National, and Airline brands among others), the 525 is essentially a Supro Thunderbolt with the added benefit of individual Treble and Bass controls. Rich, powerful, and nuanced, the 525 pushes 35 watts through a pair of original RCA 6L6GC power tubes and an original Jensen C15P speaker. For everything from rich cleans and wooly rhythm tones to saturated tube overdrive further up on the volume dial, this Harmony delivers a pure sound with a simple yet ingenious circuit. The signature sizzle, drive, and subtle compression of Valco/Supro’s preamp design offers a very dynamic and articulate signal balanced by the warmth and fullness of the single 15 speaker. The circuit is very original, with CTS pots that date to 1967 and original impressively sized transformers as well. The faceplate retains its original gleaming chrome plating, with all of the original black silkscreen graphics and lettering, as well as a minty trio of chrome insert knobs. The Jensen C15P speaker has a near mint black speaker frame, gold foil label on the ceramic magnet, and date code from’67. The original black ostrich tolex is extremely clean and the grill cloth retains its vivid red racing stripes. The Valco-made Harmony 525 is a classic, oft-overlooked model with the same preamp, tube and speaker compliment, and rich tone as the Supro Thunderbolt.
