My Fender Super Reverb was bought in 1966 used, The serial # is A 25072 what year is this amp? can you tell by the serial #. jonathan110@live.com

Joe Nathan,

Yes, the early Silverface amps from 1967 to early 1968 were all Blackface with the silver panels, essentially, later the Silverface (from mid ’68 to 1980) circuits were redesigned.

Guajolote,

I recently bought a 1968 Super Reverb, and it has a blackface front panel (I haven’t checked the circuit yet.) Is this an anomaly, or did some 1968 Fender amps actually get blackface circuitry and panels?

Charles Davis,
