The Pro Reverb is unjustly underappreciated. The amps put out somewhere around 35 to maybe 40 watts, putting them in a sweet spot where you can get huge, full clean tones but you can still push it into tube overdrive. A clean boost pedals pairs extremely well. The amp gives you response you can feel.
The amp came in with most of the electrolytic caps changed. The work had been done by a couple of techs, from the look of things. I swapped out the last original filter cap and replaced one of the bypass caps that had received a really large cap that looked very out of place. The bias cap was changed out was well. A grounded power cable has been added. We tested all the tubes, cleaned the tube sockets, pots & jacks, and fully vetted the amp when all the updates were complete.
The amp runs like a top!
The transformers are original. The speakers are Fender labeled Oxfords from the late 70s. The footswitch is original. Removable casters were added.
Cosmetically, the amp is in beautiful shape.
See our shipping policy at the bottom of this listing.
As with all amplifiers at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally evaluated to ensure dependable performance.
We buy, sell, and take trades.

Shipping policy:
When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping. These cases require the buyer to re-install them on delivery - it is very easy with this amp, and we label them so you know exactly where to put them. We remove the chassis of amps with heavy transformers and ship them separately as their weight can distort the chassis if the box is dropped in shipping. These cases require customers to reassemble amps. It also costs us more. The shipping cost is higher as a result. We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure. Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently. Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping. We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions. If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
