Fender Showman 6G14B preset

Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Fender Showman 6G14B is the B-suffix variant of the brown-era Showman, incorporating minor circuit revisions to the 6G14 design. Dick Dale's demand for extreme volume and clean tone headroom drove the Showman's development, and the 6G14B continues that heritage: 85 watts of clean American power from four 6L6GC output tubes with the headroom to remain clean at stage-destroying volumes. The Showman's oversized power supply and output transformer give it a uniquely authoritative and clean bass response. This entry represents the 6G14B Showman variant document.

Known for: Dick Dale.
