1966 Fender Super Reverb amp modified by Cesar Diaz
Here is a wonderful genuine vintage 1966 Black Faced SUPER Reverb amp. This amp as an interesting history besides the Cesar Diaz master gain mods done back in the early 1980's if you haven't heard of Cesar he was famously known to be Stevie Ray Vaughn's amp tech during this time frame. This amp had toured back in the 1980s with the professional Robert Cray group. It's toured and.been around the world and then some modded back in the 80s by amp guru Cesar Diaz and has been my main all round amp since I acquired it in 1995. It's something special as it has the heavenly classic tone with an edge it has the great England made Celestian Speakers in a 2 -12" configuration that changes the voice in a way and it truly sounds so great like this I never given a thought to put this back to its original 4-10 speaker config I have a couple other BF Supers with the std config and I really love this Diaz amp. It does the smaller venues great with that master volume you can really dial in your tone at lower volumes very nicely. I used it at home to it can do the Princeton Reverb sound at lower volumes pretty well and was quite nice for recording as well. This has been my amp for the past 20 years I hate to see her go but I have not played it that much at all the past several years it's just collecting dust her and that's a shame so it's time to let her go to some pro that wants this awesome cool blues machine. It's overall condition is pretty darn good it's sounding good right now but it honestly has been sitting unused and has collected a bit of dust so electronics could use a bit of cleaning I just ran her for an hour early she starts right up and is pretty quiet but when turning pots I get some. Low volume scratchy sounds then it settles down when not touching the knobs I turned the knows vigorously back and forth and that quieted it down and that's a clear sign of needing deox type of pot cleaning probably could use a tune up but it's tubes are good it's sounding good and strong and awesome and reverb is lush as can be. It's in very good shape overall. Not new or mint of course this amp is 49 years old and by the sound of it good to go another 49 with proper maintainable and care. Woodwork is very solid and 100% tolex is 8/10 pretty darn good for a 49 year old with a history.
I was just luck and at the right place at the right time when acquired this amp from a family member back in 1995 outside of another music store that low balled the seller I gave him what he wanted and never regretted it.
Neither will you it's a very cool amp and she's also EZ on the eyes!
