It is my understanding that Paul Rivera had nothing to do with the design of the fender 75 amplifier and by the way the overdrive channel sounds on this amp I would say this is correct because I actually have one of these amps and it totally sucks, that is the overdrive channel now the clean channel sounds okay.

I have the 15″ version of the 75 amp with black cloth and a metallic drip edge. These also came with silver cloth. Though, the grill cloth frame is separate from the speaker baffle. It is attached to the speaker baffle via velcro, like a vintage Polytone amp.

I have a cosmetic question re. the Fender 75’s grille cloth set up. The picture above shows a baffle mounted cloth but I have a picture of a Fender 75 with an early silverface era ‘drip edge’ style grille cloth. Did the amp ever come with a drip edge grille cloth arrangement?

Still says Rivera.

Hey Edo, I would say buy that amp! I picked up a fender 75 1×15 combo a few years back as a quick replacement for an amp that blew. It was 300$ canadian. Ive never liked it with the 1×15 speaker, but i have plugged it into a 2×12 and a 1×12 (both different eminences) and it sounds just like a fender deluxe. To get it biased just take it to the shop. its not something you want to mess around with. I would say for your total cost esitmation, 560 US is not bad, and you will have a really great amp on your hands, that is plenty loud for shows.
