Description

Edit description

The 1973 Fender PA100 is a testament to vintage craftsmanship, offering both power and versatility in a compact format. Originally conceived as a PA head, this classic piece has found its true calling as a robust guitar amplifier head, delighting musicians with its warm, resonant tones. Crafted during the iconic CBS era and made in Fullerton, California, the PA100 boasts the same build quality as the legendary Twin Reverb while offering its own distinctive character.

With 100 watts of all-tube power, this amp head is a powerhouse, delivering a rich and dynamic sonic experience. Its four channels provide ample flexibility, allowing you to blend different tones for a customized sound that suits both guitar and vocals. The spring reverb adds a lush, ambient texture that enhances your performance, making every note shine with clarity.

Despite its age, the 1973 Fender PA100 remains in excellent working condition, showcasing the durability and reliability that Fender is renowned for. Whether you're playing in a studio or on stage, this vintage amp head promises to amplify your music with character and depth.

Key Features:

100 watts of all-tube power
