I have a 1964 I replaced the speaker it came with, a Jensen P15Q with a vintage JBL D130f that has cone original cone. This may be the best sounding Fender amp I have ever played through and I have had lots of fender vintage and newer amps including tweeds, blonds browns and blackface. The non reverb circuit is just a bit more “there” than the reverb versions. For years I have heard good amp techs say that the Fender deluxe ( non verb) was the best sounding amp Fender made, this is just the same but bigger!
Killer blues tones from a sleeper amp,My 65 Pro nails those tones that you need to buy expensive Vibroverb amps,the 65 Pro with Reverb pedal,nails those Vibroverb tones and can do great country gigs,
The Black Face pro seem to be a bit rare.There’s a real sweet brown one on ebay now I wish they would have continued it with the 15 and added a middle control and re verb or made it a super re verb with a 15
