I bought a Fender 75 115 a couple years ago in a thrift store for $200. It was very dirty, scratchy pots, but worked allright. The EV 15L speaker was in great shape. I changed several microphonic pre-amp tubes. I’ve gigged this amp a few times. I don’t use the lead channel, but I really like the normal channel alot as it reminds me of a cross between a 60’s Twin and a Deluxe Reverb with my Telecasters. I play straight into the amp. Depending on the venue, I use either power mode. Either way, it always sounds great. And that six spring reverb is absolutely the best sounding reverb I have ever played thru. Overall, an exceptional Fender tube amp.

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.
