Vintage Fender PA 100 (Silverface) All-Tube Head

 

The "Sleeping Giant" of Vintage Fender Tone.

Unleash massive headroom and unmistakable tube warmth with the Fender PA 100. Originally designed in the 1970s as a public address system, this all-tube beast has been rediscovered by modern musicians as one of the best-kept secrets in the vintage gear world. Effectively a "Twin Reverb in a head," this amp offers huge power, lush reverb, and the kind of pedal-friendly versatility that boutique amps strive to replicate.

This amp uses

  • 6 x 12AX7 (ECC83)
  • 2 x 12AT7
  • 4 x 6L6GC (Matched Quad)

We offer these as a set of JJ Tubes however, you can simply add the tube listed above of any brands as an alternative.

A bit about this amp and why you may want it:

  • Massive Clean Headroom: With 100 watts of power driven by a quartet of 6L6GC tubes, the PA 100 stays crystal clear at ear-splitting volumes. It is the ultimate blank canvas for your pedalboard.

  • The "Poor Man’s Twin": Sharing the same transformers and power section as the legendary Twin Reverb, this head delivers that classic American sparkle and low-end thump at a fraction of the vintage combo price.

  • Multi-Channel Magic: Featuring four independent channels, you can run unparalleled wet/dry setups, plug in multiple instruments (synths, guitars, bass), or jumper the channels together for increased gain and harmonic complexity.

  • Lush Spring Reverb: Includes the iconic, deep Fender spring reverb tank that defined the sound of the 70s.

Tech Specs:

  • Era: Silverface (Mid-to-Late 1970s)
