Fender Concert Amp Handwired 6L6 2x10 Combo (1980s)

The Fender Concert Amp from the early 1980s is a rare, handwired 60-watt tube combo that captures the magic of classic Fender cleans while pushing into modern gain territory with surprising authority. Redesigned under the direction of legendary amp guru Paul Rivera, this model was part of Fender’s revival after the CBS era—aiming to bring back the sparkling Blackface tone while introducing a new level of crunch and lead capability.

This 2x10 combo is powered by 6L6 tubes and delivers stunning headroom, tight lows, and the unmistakable shimmer that defined Fender's golden era. The gain channel adds rich, harmonically complex drive reminiscent of early Mesa Boogie tones, making it far more versatile than most Fenders of its time. This particular amp includes thoughtful mods: a second input converted to a reverb intensity control, and a midrange/pull-boost mod for even more tonal flexibility.

One of the last Fender amps to be built with point-to-point handwired construction, the early-’80s Concert has earned cult status among players and collectors for its tone, build quality, and historic significance.
