In late March of 2020, Fender discontinued support for the Fender Fuse website. This included the takedown of thousands of Fender Fuse Mustang V2 patches as well as their Fender Fuse software. The reason for the takedown is that Fender is pushing their Mustang GT and Mustang GTX series of amplifiers and are in a way forcing people to buy something new.

My Mustang Monday Patches

Thanks to my old series of videos on YouTube called “Mustang Monday“, I had over 400,000 downloads of my custom presets when I last checked about 5 months ago. Sadly, I never had the all backed up on my own computer because of a hard drive failure. The good news is I reached out to the community on YouTube and have received hundreds of emails. Included in these emails were lots of patches that I am making available for you to download.

There are a lot of people to thank for this who sent in emails with my custom Fender Fuse Mustang V2 patches as well as many more. Feel free to host these files somewhere else for download, just don’t copy and paste my entire page. Thanks.

Certain words and phrases pique the interest of vintage guitar players and collectors worldwide, like “Burst,” “Blackguard,” “Plexi,” and “Blackface.” Named for their black control panels, Blackface Fender amps are one of the company’s most famous and coveted product series.

Blackface Fender amps tend to be categorized into two groups by collectors and players: “Pre-CBS” (mid-1963 to mid-1965) models with a “Fender Electric Instrument Company” label and “CBS” (mid-1965 to mid-1968) models with a “Fender Musical Instrument” label.

Blackface amps were immediately popular upon release and used on numerous famous recordings. They continue to be a backline and recording mainstay of musicians who seek a great, chimey Fender clean and, when pushed, a classic overdriven tone. Fender offered a full range of amps in their Blackface line, ranging from the diminutive Champ to the massive Twin Reverb.

Cosmetically, the amps featured the aforementioned black control panels with white lettering, black tolex protective covering, and silver thread grill cloth. Attesting to Leo Fender’s engineering genius, Blackface Fenders are legendary for their rock-solid reliability. Built like a proverbial tank, these 50-plus-year-old amps will be rocking way into the future.

In this guide, we’ll learn a bit about each of the amps in the Blackface lineup, including performance attributes, key tech specs, and famous users.

Fender Champ

Fender offered three versions of the Champ during the Blackface period. Beginning in late 1963 and continuing into mid-1964, Fender used up remaining old “Tweed style” Champ chassis and cabinets, but with Blackface cosmetics; Leo Fender was famously known as a skinflint when it came to minimizing production costs. After all, he was the guy who reused his styrofoam cup for coffee. The new style Champ and Vibro Champ amps featured slanting control panels.

All of these amps put out about 4 watts and had a single 8” speaker. These amps, fondly referred to as the “lunch box,” were sold by the thousands to students and professionals alike. Immediately popular for studio use, they also found favor from musicians playing small gigs. And of course, your Champ can be mic’d to be used in just about any size venue. Just grab your guitar and this little powerhouse and head out to the gig.

Tech Specs:

Tweed Style: one channel, single volume control
Champ: one channel, volume, treble, bass controls
Vibro Champ: one channel, volume, treble, bass, speed and intensity controls

Famous Users: Eric Clapton

Fender Princeton

Once again, Fender issued three distinct variants of the Princeton amp during the Blackface era: the transitional “tuxedo” model, as well as reverb and non-reverb models in the new “Princeton” style. Each version featured a single 10” speaker and about 12 watts of output. Small, light and, like all Blackface Fenders, built like a tank, Princetons are a favorite of many guitarists (and harp players) for studio and live use. Mic’d, they can be used even in medium to large venues.

The tuxedo was the result of the ever-thrifty Leo Fender wanting to use up the remaining “brownface” Princeton Amp chassis and cabinets. Issued from mid-1963 to mid-1964, the tuxedo amps featured Blackface cosmetics, but were very snazzy looking with white barrel knobs.

Overshadowed by the Princeton Reverb, which is widely considered one of the most famous studio amps ever built, the non-reverb Princeton is a sleeper hit. Its existence in the shadow of its reverb-capable brother is a shame, as it offers some of the finest pure Fender tones you can find in a compact package. Also, the non-reverb models cost a lot less than the reverb amps. Plus, unlike the Reverb models, the non-reverb Princeton amp offers a significant amount of clean headroom.

The Princeton Reverb, on the other hand, has an extra 12AX7 preamp tube which gives it a more overdriven sound when the volume is pushed.

Tech Specs:

Tuxedo model: single channel, Volume, Tone, Speed and Intensity controls
Non-Reverb: single channel, Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed and Intensity controls
Reverb: single channel, Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed, Intensity and Reverb controls

Fender Deluxe

Moving up to one 12” speaker and about 20 watts with up both reverb and non-reverb models, the Deluxe amp is like a Princeton on steroids. With the Deluxe, you get a lot more bass response and plenty more clean headroom. One of the most legendary amps of all time, pristine Blackface Deluxe examples come with a steep price tag. Some players even fondly refer to their Deluxe Reverb as their “desert island” amp.

These amps are perfect for medium-sized venues. Mic’d, they can be used on large stages and even fare well in outdoor concerts. Still, with this amp, you get a lot of oomph and versatility in a compact and relatively light package.

Tech Specs:

Non-Reverb: Normal channel (Volume, Treble, Bass controls); Vibrato channel (Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed and Intensity controls)
Reverb model: Normal channel (Volume, Treble, Bass controls); Vibrato channel (Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed, Intensity and Reverb controls)

Famous Users: Eric Johnson, J.D. Simo, Trey Anastasio

Fender Vibrolux

The non-reverb Vibrolux featured a single 12” speaker and boasted about 40 watts of output. It was generally discontinued by late 1963, with just a few issued in early 1964, and was replaced by a completely different combo amp of 35 watts, two 10” speakers and reverb. The Vibrolux Reverb is one of the most sought-after Blackface Fender amps, especially a clean “Fender Electric Instrument Company”-emblazoned example. Offering more guts and headroom than a Deluxe, it can be employed to meet a myriad of gigging situations.

Tech Specs:

Non-Reverb model: Normal channel (Volume, Treble, Bass controls); Vibrato channel (Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed and Intensity controls)
Reverb model: Normal channel (Volume, Treble, Bass controls); Vibrato channel (Volume, Treble, Bass, Speed, Intensity and Reverb controls)
