Fender 75

[Matt Hutchinson]

Has anybody else any experience of using these amps with steel guitar? I'm using one at the moment and I love the sound of it.

I've considered picking up one of these amps. They're not very collectible, which means they're available relatively cheaply.
I haven't done so yet because I really don't need another amp I don't use sitting in the garage.

The Fender 75 was built in '82. It was Fenders attempt of channel switching. The design of Mr. Riverra. It combines point to point wiring with solid state. I have a Fender 30 and it doesn't have enough umphh
to it. Your 75 is more powerfull. I think
Fender has the best reverb sounds.
A 15" speaker would make a big difference.

Two handy things with the 75 are that it can be switched to low power (25 watts I think) if necessary plus the channel switching allows distorted sounds without putting an extra pedal between the guitar & the amp. The reverb is great too.

I have played steel thru 3 diff Fenders over the years. First a Super Reverb later put 15" JBL in it much better. Next a Vibrosonic w 15" better still. Next a Fender Blues Deluxe 40 watts w/after factory 15'' JBL, not a powerhouse but great sound. For more juice I play either and Evans or my Webb w/ 15's. I did 40 shows with Patsy Cline tribute show last year and used Fender Blues Deluxe w/15' sounded great and it was enough for that gig. Fenders are fine. Evans or Webbs are better,
...just my opinion.....Wayne.
