Hey Aaron, there is a silverface on CL in the Bay Area for a decent price. I don't know much about these or diff. between the silverface & orig blackface, I know the later (80s) blackfaces had a SS rectifier.

I believe these are the same as a vibrolux reverb, but with 12's. Anybody know if I am correct?

Both great amps I think the Pro pushes 40W and the Vibrolux 35W or so. The Vibrolux is not much bigger than a Deluxe, and has 2-10's and 35W vs the Deluxe's single 12 and about 22W. I had a BF Pro Reverb back in the 70's with a '68 Les Paul and got all the sound I needed for the top 40 gigs I played. I'm actually thinking of going smaller (Princeton) and mic'ing at gigs - now only if I could grow some hair and play like Jerry Garcia

Fender Pro Reverb
In 1964 the Pro was the same as the "Super Reverb Amp" with different speaker configuration (2x12). I had a 1966 and loved it, best amp I ever had until I blew a speaker!

I used to have one. A 60's Blk-face. It was my first amp. My ex-bro-in law "misplaced" it somewhere.Rick Johnson wrote:Tom, you're killin me with that Vibroverb...
