![]() ![]() They are footswitchable with a dual RCA-plugged switch (not included). ![]() The Reverb and Vibrato effects sound beautiful with loads of depth and work on both channels. When turned all the way up this channel stays almost completely clean. This character is there even when played through a closed-back Celestion-loaded 4x12 cabinet. lots of lows, a scooped mid and a brilliant hi-end. The Brilliant channel however sounds very much like you’d expect from a classic clean high-powered Fender amp, ie. There’s not a huge amount of low end on this channel but considerably more mids than you’d get from a standard Fender preamp channel. It doesn’t have a huge amount of gain but will crunch up even when driven with a singlecoil guitar when turned up. The Normal Channel sounds similar to an early JTM/plexi Marshall amp. It runs flawlessly with lower than average noise or hum. This amp currently runs on modern, mostly JJ brand tubes. Also there’s an added line out and an external bias pot for easy adjustments.

Anyone who’s well informed about Fender amps must have raised a brow when looking at these pictures, as during the blackface era a Bandmaster amp would have no Reverb and a much smaller cabinet.
