1964 Fender Reverb Unit 6G15 – Brown Tolex
We present an original 1964 Fender Tube Reverb Unit 6G15 in Brown Tolex. Made in Fullerton, California.
Featuring one of the rarest cosmetic combinations for Fender’s Reverb Unit, the cabinet showcases smooth brown tolex paired with gold sparkle grill cloth, a flat brown handle, and a raised Fender logo. This true Pre-CBS reverb tank carries a full set of date codes spanning from late 1963 to the first weeks of 1964 on the transformers, pots, tube chart, and reverb pan. The 6G15 all-tube circuit delivers lush and detailed vintage spring reverb, powered by a period-correct tube complement including a Sylvania 6K6 power tube and Mullard and RCA valves in the preamp. With intuitive controls for Dwell, Mix, and Tone, it’s easy to dial in the perfect amount of splash and shimmer. This classic Fender tube reverb unit runs in-line between your guitar and amp.
The preamp has had some capacitors and filter caps replaced to ensure optimal performance. The stock transformers date between the 50th week of 1963 and the 5th week of 1964. The Stackpole pots date to the 6th week of 1964, all with original solder joints. The original Accutronics two-spring tank remains intact with stock braided reverb cables, and it retains its date stamp from the 4th week of 1964. The original tube chart is also fully intact.
The original smooth brown tolex is an exceptional rarity — this particular smooth-textured version was exclusive to the Reverb Unit and not used on any other Fender product across the line. The tolex is paired with the original gold sparkle grill cloth, both showing consistent and light aging, including a couple of characteristic cigarette burns on the top. The faceplate is particularly clean, with original brown barrel knobs. The raised Fender logo is present, along with the stock sphinx glides (feet) and flat handle.
NC date stamp translates to March of 1964.
Freshly serviced and fully functional, this 1964 Fender Reverb Unit 6G15 is ready to play.
