Up for sale is my original 1970's silverface pro reverb, I bought this a few years back and it was in a sorry state and I have put a lot of time and money into getting it back to its former glory.  When I purchased it the previous owner had already had the master volume disabled and a blackface mod done, since then I have had the reverb slighty modded by my amp guy just to sweeten it a bit and it sounds great.

New parts purchased –

Authentic reverb cables custom made for these amps from Potbelly US

Vintage Reverb/Tremolo footswitch

Grillcloth & tolex (vintage silverface specific)

Tube Amp Doctor matching 6L6WGC STR Blackplate style premium tubes

2 Celestion Vintage 30 speakers (I still have the original vintage fender speakers from stock however there is a really small tear in one of the cones so I decided to change them but I have found companies which will recone speakers if that is what you want)

New silverface amp handle, chassis straps, knobs and chrome corners.

I have tried to keep the amp as original as possible by replacing the necessary areas with era specific parts and I do still have a lot of the originals.

This is a great amp and has served me well, I will be sorry to see it go but I have recently upgraded to a boutique Top Hat amp and would like to see this go to someone who’s get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Please contact me if you are interested, pick up only due to the size.

Welcome!  

It would really help your sale if you posted some pictures here - it's not that hard, have a read through this too:

Pickup only is fine too, but perhaps say where you are located?

Loobs

Please can you post some pictures.

That looks like a tasty amp,someone is going to get a bargain there.

Pro reverbs are very under rated,excellent upgrades.

OscarW

Hi everyone, the location is Croydon, South East London and I will get some photos uploaded this evening.

Thanks for the advice.

Trade's?

tugwellguitar

That must sound incredible with Celestions,best of both worlds.

Sorry I'm not looking for any trades

Man. Can somebody please just buy this? I'm having to think of reasons not to.

Why has this not sold, I am seriously tempted !!!

Pro reverbs are so under rated ,perfect amp,lots of cleans plus they do overdrive unlike a twin.

Umm no they don't? It's just a clean channel that has light breakup a little earlier than others. But if it's been blackfaced and the master disabled it's just a lovely fat clean amp.

Great clean tones actually

Great cleans, and the 40 watt one with the rectifier does overdrive a bit when wound up.  This one (if I'm not mistaken) is the 70 watt ultralinear model with a solid state rectifier so louder and cleaner.

Precisely.  Sorry for any thread derail.  Great sounding amp, I previously owned the 40 watt version from '73, but overdriven sounds....no.

Not wanting to get into a big discussion on this and certainly don't want to derail the sale of this amp.

I have personally owned and played through various pro reverbs,silverface master vols,non master vols,blackfaces.

They certainly do break up/thicken/overdrive.When wound up ,we are not talking about metal overdrives but certainly Rolling Stones crunch.

All the best with the sale of your amp.

Great amp, looks in superb condition.

Yes, all the best with the sale of your great looking amp.
