Stratopastor,

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.

cam,

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!

Edo,

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

Han,

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.

Bill,
