I sold the head last year for $100 to a friend who had been begging me for it since we were kids.
I paid $120 for it with the dual 12" cabinet. My first Bandmaster was a 1965 pre CBS bought at Wurlitzer Music in Boston. If you can't find a Fender cabinet on Ebay, make sure you get one that is a duplicate, closed back, tilt legs, and knurled hold down bolts for the head. The other choice is SINGLE a D130 15", which you can get on Ebay pretty cheap ($50). If you want that amp to really, really sound the balls, use a closed back cabinet and either a pair of JBL D120's ($$$$$300 - 400 ea.) or a pair of Weber "California" 12" clones with treated edges and aluminum dust cap ($90 ea. Strange you should ask this question because I just quoted some history in another thread, but here's the deal. I've also tried a number of speaker combo's and types with them. 40 watt, no reverb black faced Bandmasters. Note that the 'vibrato' circuit is actually a 'tremolo' effect in that it modulates amplitude not pitch of the signal.I've owned many Bandmasters in my time, and wish from time to time I still did.
BANDMASTER REVERB COMBO DRIVER
The single 12AT7 was used for the reverb driver while the 12AX7 was used for the vibrato circuit. The first two 7025 valves are used for the first stage pre-amps (one 'normal' channel and one 'vibrato'), the second 7025 being used for the reverb recovery and mixing stages. There are several versions of the Bandmaster Reverb circuit:īandmaster Reverb Valve / Tube Compliments On top of this it deviates from the traditional Bandmaster reverb formula in its use of a hybrid preamp section which utilises 12ax7 tube power alongside a DSP section. It is however largely a different amp as it models the blackface variants of the Bandmaster and adds reverb. The amp was reissued in 2009 as the Band-Master VM (Vintage Modified series), and features many of the characteristics of the original. Power was increased from 40 to 70 watts/ RMS Line Out jack, hum balance pot and an ultra linear output transformer were added in 1977. Master volume models with "pull boost" tone circuit, a Mid control knob for the Normal channel and a tailless amp decal were introduced in 1976. Some later Bandmaster Reverbs also added a 3-band EQ on the Normal channel and a bright switch but this was uncommon across all models. This was complemented by the added functionality of a master volume and a push/pull boost. These changes increased the headroom of the amp and brought it more inline with the non-reverb versions.
The output transformer was connected as ultra linear to the power tubes and larger filter caps where used.
BANDMASTER REVERB COMBO SERIES
These series amps offer the designations AA768, AA568, AA1069 and TFL5005.Ī revised model was introduced in 1977 that increased power output to 70 watts.
The revised circuit also places the gain stage within the reverb recovery circuit which causes the amp to break up earlier. This resulted in the Bandmaster Reverb having reduced power over the standard model and increased sag and power amp break up. Fender introduced the amplifier with a 5U4GB rectifier tube rather than the diode rectifier found in the previous Blackface Bandmaster.
The first version of the Fender Bandmaster Reverb was introduced in 1968 as a Silverface Bandmaster that offered reverb on the vibrato channel.
