meh

the pro reverb is an underrated amp in general, but the silverfaces are the worst sounding versions. Mine was great for Ska, but that's about it. Defiinitely far off from blackface! If you want a 50 watt early 70s twin check out the pros of this era. Very similar to the bandmaster reverb heads of the time. Not my cup of tea, but not a bad stage amp for a pedal player.

Mine is actually a 1970 ( silverface model that has 3 eq controls ( Bass, Middle and Trebble ) and a master tone, i'm to lazy to write a big review because i want to play, hahaha . But this is such a wonderfull amplifier!! If you can afford it, you should deffinitly have this

oh yeah, the blackface/drip-edge pro reverb circuit is definitely one of Fender's best sounding amps for small theaters and big clubs

This is THE ONE.

This amp does Fender cleans better than anything else out there. Don't pass one up if you get a chance at owning this rare beauty!

is yours silverface or blackface.... love the BF ones but they have gotten thin on the ground... the SF ones are a mixed bag of circuit revisions... the one I had briefly 15 years ago had an unpleasantly hifi clean sound and little else to recommend it, not a knock on the fender bandmaster head I owned for years even though they are theoretically the same amp apart from the reverb....

@jimmarchi1 mine is a 1973 Silverface. After the bad SF years and before they started over powering them. The SF sweet spot as I understand it. Really love this amp!

for me larger SF amps are sweet while they have drip edge cosmetics, but yours woud be closer to my sweet spot than the one I had.... yours is still pretty close to blackface, not pushed for extra power, wired with the ultralinear taps on the transformer or equipped with that pointless master volume.... but still probably equipped with those sparkle-eating snubber caps but an overall brighter voicing (not unlike metal face marshalls).... I think your period of silverface really realized a lot of Leo's original 'clean country twang" design goals that he'd been pursuing since, well, always.... check your ap for snubber caps and cut 'em out if they're there, (probably are), your treble will open up like crazy.
