Fargen Blackbird 10-Year Anniversary Special Edition Tube Guitar Amplifier

In Ben Fargen's words:
"We at Fargen Amplification are proud to celebrate 10 wonderful years of the all tube hand wired Blackbird amplifier. It has become one of the most highly respected blackface style professional amplifiers in the world, separating itself from the many Blackface clones. It uses original circuitry, innovative cabinet design and superior parts and build quality to improve the sometimes thin and cold sound of a stock Blackface design amplifier."

"We have shipped over 500 blackbird amplifiers worldwide to date and gained many new fans of Fargen Amplification in the process. To celebrate this 10 year achievement we are pleased to release a very limited quantity of the all new Blackbird 10 year "Special Edition" which includes a new look, many all new features previously only available through the Fargen Custom Shop and new accessories never before availible with the Blackbird Amplifier."

"- All new hand crafted custom color cabinet by J. Design with tuned oval back port and new upgradeable "add-a baffle design. (Interchangeable between 12" and 10" speaker).
- New full custom power and output transformer set by Mercury Magnetics
- Select vintage style tone caps

"Join us in celebrating 10 years of quality, innovation and pure tone with the all new Blackbird "Special Edition" all tube hand wired amplifier. The tone and sustain of the amplifier is second to none."
