The '74 is my favorite year for Super Reverb amps. I like the transformers from that year better than from any other year. This is a silverface that I put a blackface front panel on. I also replaced the original poorly made cabinet with a new finger joined solid pine cab...much better tone! You can have the old cabinet too. I installed four Weber P10Q 30 watt 10" speakers...always hated the harsh tone of the CTS 10's. This amp has been tweaked to perfection: new caps, new tubes, totally reconditioned with all silverface circuitry converted to blackface specs and reverb on both channels! One channel now has a Marshall tone stack...just a matter of replacing the tone control caps with a pair of .02 caps. NICE!

One channel has the vintage blackface tone and one channel has more of a Marshall Plexi tone but could be easily returned to stock if you chose to.

I didn't do anything that couldn't be reversed. No master volume controls or holes drilled anywhere or anything weird like that!

I've got over $1200. into it. Make me an offer.

Looks like brand new!

Just so's you know: these are 100% handwired amps. No printed circuit board. And Bruce and I used only NOS carbon comp resistors and Sprague Orange Drops and Mallory 150 caps in the circuitry of this amp. All cheapie disc caps have been replaced and we even replaced the treble tone control caps with silver mica like the original tweed Bassman used for a much livlier and smoother tone with less graininess to the highs. The four Weber 30 watt P10Q's are killer speakers! Smoother highs and more solid bass and mids than the original 10's.

After I was done working on this amp I compared it to my '66 blackface Super Reverb and sold the '66! This '74 just sounded alot better and more versatile.
