Notes	This Pro Reverb is in excellent shape, and has only minor signs of previous wear. It has the transition era "drip-edge" aesthetics, while also carrying over the blackface transition circuit. Typically the 1968 amps have a partially cathode biased power section, but this has been changed to strictly grid biased. The electrolytic caps have been changed, along with the trem optocoupler, but the circuit is otherwise original. It does have the coveted "Blue Molded" Ajax coupling caps made famous during the blackface era - so it definitely qualifies as a cheaper alternative, while still maintaining 99% blackface parts.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
