The 6L6 Power Tubes are a matched set of highly praised TAD 6L6 - STR - Killer Tone!
The Rectifier Tube is a NOS vintage GE 5AR4/GZ34
Most preamp tubes are an assortment of vintage NOS
For those in the know, I have included a listing of all the tubes installed in the amp (see pic)
Speakers =
Non Original Speakers Include:
1 Weber California 12" (Ceramic, 8 ohms, 80 watts, larger H screen dome)
1 Weber California 12-F (Ceramic, 8 ohms, 80 watts, larger H cloth dome)
The "large H" diffuses the highs coming off the speaker. This makes it warmer in comparison to the paper dome.
Great 12" match for PR
Basically Weber's take on the JBL 12" from the 1960's.
Provides loud, clean tones, true Fender bell-like chime and nice tight bass
Warm & well rounded tones throughout the sonic spectrum
Also Included: 1 extra 12" Speaker =
Weber Ferromax C12N (now called 12F150) - see pic
Mint Condition & Fully Functional
Great for vintage Fender blackface tone
Ceramic, 40oz, 8ohm, 25 watts, ribbed cone, 1 1/2" VC
Weber version of the Jensen C12N
Early model with the "Weber VST" name
Identical speaker to the Weber 12F150
Weber C12N is the model code that Weber used before changing it to 12F150
From Ted Weber site - "Replaces Chicago Jensen C12N and Oxford ceramic 12’s. Warm, smooth breakup, aggressive, punchy, loud"
Amplifier also comes with =
Original Vibrato/Reverb foot switch
Vintage NOS Heavy Weight Vinyl Amp Cover with Gibson logo in Mint Condition. No Tears. Fits amp perfectly.
Reason for selling=
Simply downsizing and moving into a new direction
This 1967 Pro Reverb is a jewel of an amp and sounds every bit as good as a Vintage Blackface Fender should
These amps are growing in value. Investment gain/potential is very strong.
