Default Fender 75? - 06-08-2008, 01:38 PM

Anybody know anything about the Fender 75 amps? My friend just found one used in a local shop and was interested enough to put some money down on it. Apparently its all tube, he described it as like a twin reverb but with one speaker. I think they were around in the 80's. Anyone know anything else about these amps, or other less known Fender amps? I'm kind of also interested in learning about the Fedner ivy series (princeton, yale, and harvard)... I know the princeton is pretty well known but what about the other two? What were the differences between them?

Anyways, thanks a lot for any replies.

This is a Rivera-era amp (he worked there before founding his own amp company) so it does more modern sounds than traditional Fenders. Google can be your friend:

These amps were often referred to as the poor mans Vibroverb. The 75 was Fender's first real channel switching amp with high gain, lead drive, reverb, lead level, and master volume. Power output is 75 watts from a pair of 6L6's.

Some features are:
All Tube
Footswitch w/LED's included
75 Watts
Hi - Lo Power switch
2 Inputs
Bright Switch
Volume, Treble/Boost, Mid/Boost, Bass/Boost - Lead, Reverb, Lead Master, Master - Standby Switch, Pilot Lamp
1 x 15" Fender Blue Label 8 ohm Speaker
Weight - 85 lbs
Spring Reverb
Point to point hand wired
Tubes: 2-6L6 / 3-12AX7 / 2-12AT7
Cabinet: 18½" x 22¼" x 10½"

You're welcome. A lot of Fender purists aren't very big on Rivera's Fender amps, but they're good designs, just not very traditionally Fender-y.
