The Story
Here’s a powerhouse from Fender’s vintage lineup — a 1973 Dual Showman Head, delivering the unmistakable clarity, punch, and headroom that made Fender amps the gold standard for clean tone. Built during the Silverface era, this amp embodies the brand’s craftsmanship and reliability, offering players a massive, articulate sound that shines on stage or in the studio.
This is also a rare multi voltage model which can be used anywhere in the world!
Pumping out around 100 watts of pure, mostly clean, 6L6 power, the Dual Showman is renowned for its glassy highs, tight bass response, and wide dynamic range. The Normal and Vibrato channels each have their own voice — with lush tube-driven reverb and Fender’s signature optical tremolo adding dimension and depth. It’s equally at home delivering pristine cleans, serving as a high-headroom pedal platform, or producing warm, blooming breakup when pushed.
This 1973 example retains its original Silverface cosmetics, featuring the brushed aluminum control panel, black skirted knobs, and period-correct grille cloth. The circuit remains true to spec, with any maintenance performed strictly to preserve tone and reliability.
In excellent working order, with light, honest wear throughout — exactly what you’d expect from a well-cared-for vintage Fender. Includes a modern IEC power cord and has been professionally serviced to ensure dependable performance.
A superb example of early-’70s Fender engineering — the Dual Showman delivers that classic clean headroom and depth that only a vintage Fender can.
