Description
The Fender Blackface Super Reverb is a masterful throwback, meticulously designed to echo the iconic amplifier that shaped rock n' roll in the 1960s. This all-tube, 45W combo amplifier, crafted with the same circuitry and components as the original, delivers an authentic Blackface tone that defined the era. Whether you're a blues enthusiast, a rock star, or a country legend, this amp serves up definitive Fender Blackface cleans that are perfect for any genre.
The Super Reverb isn't just about recreating the past, it's equipped to meet the demands of today's players. The dual-channel preamp feeds into a pair of 6L6 power tubes, delivering 45W of power with rich harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity. Turn the amp up and push the power tubes into saturation for sweet overdrive with endless sustain.
It's not just about the sound, the Fender '65 Super Reverb is a visual treat with its vintage blackface control panel, brown textured vinyl covering, and silver sparkle grille cloth. But don't let the vintage looks fool you, it's built with modern components for improved reliability and durability, making it ready to stand up to the rigors of frequent gigging and transport.

Lee loves the sound of the Super Reverb sound. Lee had used Fender amps including Tone Master, Super Reverbs, Twin Reverbs, & Fender Bassman amps.
"With E Street, I've gone through so many different configurations. Way back in the old days, it was my [Fender] 4X10 Super Reverb blackface, and then I got to using two Music Mans – kind of an imitation of that run together."
In this interview, Scott Kannberg says "I have a 1966 Fender Super Reverb Blackface amp. I bought it brand new in 1994 or so. The shop I bought it from (Black Market in SF) found a bunch of them in some guys garage that were never sold."
At 1:30 he mentions using a Blackface Fender, later at just before 2:30 J.D. confirms he was talking about both a Super Reverb or Deluxe Reverb.
Now I tend to use an old Super Reverb or a Deluxe Reverb. I’ve also got these old Epiphone Futuras, Michael Bloomfield used them when he played with Bob Dylan in the 60s. It’s the shittiest sounding amp you’ve ever heard but it’s amazing. I leave the wobbly tremolo on the Epiphone on all the time and turn the reverb and tremolo on the Fender off and on using the stock footswitch.
Amp-wise he favours the classic Fender sound, though his effects units are something else altogether." I always used a black face Super Reverb until Fender brought out the Blues Deville and now that's all I use
"I use the most my MESA BOOGIE Mark IV. And then we use some Blackface FENDERs. We use the Super Reverb Blackface, and we use the original Bassman."
Used for the electric guitar on XOXO, as stated by engineer Nick Tveitbakk in this October 28, 2020 Mix Online interview.
On some tracks, Louris played what KJ says is “the most heaviest Telecaster; it’s like a boat, but it sounds great and Gary loves it. He used that most often through a ’65 reissue Twin Reverb from the late ’90s. We also had an early Vox AC30 and a really cool Selmer Zodiac Twin. He also did some fun stuff where we put a Super Reverb in the large room and played some loud feedback with every knob on 10.
“Each amp had its own recording chain,” KJ continues. “The AC30 might go to a Black AKG 414EB. We have an SSL AWS 900, which I used as a channel for that, and on the Twin we used a Sennheiser 409, and that would have gone through either a Neve 3104 channel or one of the Calrec 1061s that we have—they’re laser-beam focused.”
The amplifier list on Flowers Studio's website specifies a 1966 blackface Super Reverb.
