'57 Custom Pro-Amp The late-'50s tweed-covered Fender Pro-Amp combined great looks with sweet tone, medium output power and the unique performance characteristics of a single 15" guitar speaker. Hailed as one of the holy grail "narrow-panel tweed" amps beloved by guitarists and collectors, vintage examples are rare and highly sought after. with the volume cranked, the naturally touch-sensitive overdrive tone is simply electrifying.

It faithfully recreates the tones of the original classic 5E5-A design, delivering about 28 watts of warm, sensitive response. A Special Design 15" ceramic-magnet speaker by Eminence® is voiced for big, fat guitar tone with sensitive response, and new reverse-engineered '50s vintage "Yellow" tone capacitors add subtly nuanced tonal magic. Along with custom transformers, internal bias control for easy substitution of various 6L6 power tube types, instrument and microphone inputs, finger-joined solid pine cabinet, lacquered tweed covering and more, the result is a richly rewarding amplifier experience that's pure Fender. The '57 Custom Pro-Amp's harmonically rich clean tones are perfect for recreating classic guitar styles, while today's pedalboard enthusiast will also find an ideal tonal canvas for creating new sounds.
