This schematic documents a Fender silverface-era amplifier, the cosmetic and circuit revision line produced from 1968 through 1981 following the CBS acquisition. Silverface amps span multiple models and circuit revisions; early silverface units are tonally close to the blackface originals, while later units incorporated master volume controls and other modifications. The silverface era covers a broad range of Fender models sharing the distinctive silver grille cloth and blue label cosmetics.
