Fender Showman 6G14 - Vibrato preset

Verified · 90/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The 6G14 is the original early-1960s Showman head, which Leo Fender developed with Dick Dale's need for extreme clean volume in mind. Normal and Vibrato channels with bass, treble, volume and a presence control feed a 7025 long-tail phase inverter and four 6L6GCs on a solid-state rectifier for about 85 watts, usually into a 1×15 or 2×15 cabinet.

Schematic-derived preset files for the Neural DSP Quad Cortex and 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
