Bandmaster

SKU: BANDMASTER    WMC:$1,550.00

 

Fender introduced the Band-Master in 1953 as part of its heralded tweed-covered amp line. The amp’s allure could be found in its circuit design, which allowed the tubes to respond over a wide frequency range, resulting in raw, yet sweet and versatile, tones. Country players in particular loved the early Band-Master’s punchy and even attack. In 1964, the Band-Master received a blackface update, which included a redesigned circuit. Many blues artists count this incarnation of the Band-Master among their favorite amps for its ability to become exceedingly raucous, nasty and percussive when overdriven. And unlike blackface amps like the Deluxe Reverb and Super Reverb, the Band-Master had a pronounced and cutting midrange.
