Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Fender '68 Custom series targets guitarists seeking the aesthetics and sonic DNA of late 1960s Fender amps, while wanting a more "modern" response for everyday use (pedals, dynamics, versatility). The '68 Custom Pro Reverb is directly inspired by the original Pro Reverb 40W, but with a streamlined approach: single channel, single 12-inch speaker, and design choices aimed at gaining compactness and ease of adjustment.
Within the lineup, it stands as an excellent compromise: more headroom and sonic breadth than a small practice combo, yet easier to transport and dial in than a large 2x12. It's typically the Fender "plug-and-play" amp tailored for rehearsal, studio, and stage, with a vintage spirit but real ease of integration into a modern rig.
Who This Amp Is For
The Fender '68 Custom Pro Reverb is aimed at intermediate to professional guitarists who want a tube combo capable of handling pedals and staying clear in a mix. Its 40W and 12-inch speaker make it very comfortable for rehearsal and stage, while remaining usable in studio thanks to rich dynamics and precise EQ (notably via the mid control).
Style-wise, it excels in blues, rock, indie, pop, americana, and anything requiring articulate cleans with depth. It's also well-suited for guitarists who build their gain with overdrives, fuzz, and boosts, rather than relying on a dedicated saturated channel.

Questions frequently asked
What power does the Fender '68 Custom Pro Reverb deliver?
Its 40 W tube power, powered by 2 x 6L6 tubes, provides the necessary headroom for rehearsal and stage use. Pushing the volume drives the clean tone into a progressive vintage crunch.
What speaker is equipped in this Fender combo?
The combo features a 12-inch Celestion Neo Creamback speaker with an 8 Ω impedance. This speaker emphasizes musical mids and a smoother high-end.
Are the reverb and tremolo footswitch controllable?
A vintage 2-button footswitch is supplied to independently activate or deactivate the reverb and vibrato. At Fender, the term Vibrato refers to a tremolo effect adjustable in speed and depth.
Can an external speaker cabinet be connected to this amplifier?
Two 6.35 mm speaker jacks are wired in parallel, one internal and one external. The rated impedance is 8 ohms. Both guitar inputs are also 6.35 mm jacks, with input 2 operating at -6 dB.
Does the Pro Reverb '68 Custom accept pedals well?
Its single channel with a 3-band EQ and Bright switch is designed for integration with overdrives, fuzz, and boosts. The mid control allows adaptation to humbuckers or guitars with darker tones.
