The 1950s Fender Pro tube amps are some of the most coveted vintage amplifiers of all time for their blend of nuance and smooth sound when cranked wide open. They display a warm low end with plenty of top-end clarity that is never shrill - just plenty of fat, thick tone that sounds like the best part of yesteryear. Because this Fender '57 Custom Pro is 26 watts, it breaks up at just the right volume for live performance and recording. There's a very good reason this circuit is so sought-after on the vintage market.

The Fender '57 Custom Pro sounds great at lower volumes for clear, clean tones. But it's when you turn the volume knob up past noon that you'll begin to coax iconic sustain from this icon of amplifiers. It's a tone unlike any other amplifier out there. And because the whole amp is handwired with incredible attention to detail, the '57 Custom Pro responds to your playing, guitars' pickup positions, and control manipulations effortlessly. You'll attain a wide range of tonal shades out of this simple-to-use amp.

A good portion of what makes the original and this '57 Custom Pro so identifiable are the amps' very 1950s looks. The '57 Custom Pro tube combo amplifier is covered in the expertly applied lacquered tweed covering. Its golden hues stand out and look fantastic whether onstage, in the studio, or sitting comfortably in your living room. The period-correct oxblood grille cloth and genuine leather handle complete the aesthetic package. We know these amps sound fantastic, but every player at Sweetwater wants one to make our home studios look that much better.
