Hi guys, I’ve heard the sound of this combo on YouTube and really like it. I might have a chance to buy a Fender 75 Combo with a 12″ speaker for about 400 euros (around 450 USD). The seller says the amp needs new tubes and a new bias, but I’ve read that the bias is fixed on the Fender 75. 1) So how do I get this biased? 2) Can I do it myself easily, or do I need to bring it to a tech? If I change the power tubes myself, it’ll cost me an additional 50 euros (about 56 USD), but if I need to get it professionally biased, it’s going to be more expensive — probably over 50 euros just for the biasing. 3) Considering I haven’t seen or heard the amp in person (it’s located 350 km away), is this amp worth gambling more than 500 euros (around 560 USD)? Thanks so much for your help!

You need to use a cable which has on one side a stereo jack and on the other side two mono jacks.

Hey guys – I own this amp and was looking into effects looping (wanting to run Pinnacle distortion to the front and chorus / delay to the effects loop). There is only an “Effects IN/OUT” not one in and one out. Am I confused, or is there a work around for this? Thanks for any help or direction.

Finally sonic breakthrough on my fender 75 Headversion. When low power is selected plate voltage to the 6l6gc power tubes is halved to 250Volt and grid voltage to -25 volt i believe, anyhow i stuck a matched pair of 6v6GT in place of the 6l6 sockets and slowly increased volume and lo behold a very pleasing ring on the first strum. Also my nady overdrive pushes the amp in nice distortion. Mine was build in 1981 so i am not sure if all fender 75 models can take this simple conversion. Mine seems very happy and so am i. Even the lead channel seems improved a little with less noise at least, i get a nice slightly broken sound, which to my ears and style is very usable.The amp has no other modifications and is 100% original.

O. pps. The soldering in mine was kind of brittle — too much flux — but I had someone fix that. At this stage, they’re all so old that they’ll need new tubes and caps; I had mine redone about two years ago. You’ll know it’s time when the volume starts to drop off. And yes, these amps are frigging LOUD!
