THE SOUND THAT CREATES LEGENDS ‘63 Fender Reverb TYPE: PR 263 , Owner s Manual P/N 047980
Introduction Back in the days when blonde Showmans and white Jaguars dominated the nation’s bandstands (and garages), there also existed a mysterious little box called the Fender Reverb. This was before the reverb we know and love today was “built-in” to Fender amplifiers. This inconspicuous device was responsible for the socking wet surf sound of the early 1960’s.
NOTE: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE YOUR ‘63 FENDER REVERB, turn the unit around and look inside the back. You will see a metal lever near the back and slightly left of center. This lever, when in the shipping or traveling position, is pushed toward the front of the cabinet and then to the right to lock. This lever pushes the inside of the pan against a soft foam pad and prevents the springs in the pan from being damaged due to excessive movement.
Troubleshooter’s checklist -Is the power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet? -Is there power at the outlet? -Is the volume control on the instrument turned up? -Is your instrument properly plugged into the Reverb Unit? -Does the guitar and amplifier work properly without the Reverb Unit? (If so, then eliminate all other effects and try different guitar cords.) -If, after checking all the above, the system is still not operating properly, consult your authorized Fender Service Dealer.
