RE: Fender Twin Reverb - Black vs Silver

I'm not much of a technition but I think you can get a lot of milage by upgrading the caps. I'm sure there's a few other parts to swap out to make the amp exactly "blackface" but I believe doing the caps gets you most of the way there.

FWIW some of the early and mid 70's silver face models, like the Deluxe, are already really close to Blackface. I have a 76 Deluxe Reverb, which I think is the last year Fender made these w/o the dreaded pull switch, and I think it sounds great as is. The only change I made to it was to install a new speaker, but that was only because the original one developed a tear.

Good luck.
