The '68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp
series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with
toneful modifications that resonate with today's players.
The '68 Custom Pro Reverb takes its cues from the original
40-watt model, improving its portability and tonal flexibility
by reducing the cabinet size and weight, moving to a single-
channel format and single 12" speaker, and adding a middle
tone control. This refined and upgraded amp is the perfect
size and volume for almost any gig, and may be the ultimate
pedal-friendly platform.
• Modified Pro Reverb all-tube circuitry
• Single channel with versatile tone controls and bright switch
• Reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity
