🎸 Overview — 1954 Fender Super Amplifier
The Fender Super was a landmark tube guitar amplifier produced by Fender from 1947 into the early 1960s, with the 1954 versions being part of the highly collectible “tweed era.” It evolved from Fender’s early “Dual Professional” design (introduced in 1946) and became one of the brand’s flagship amps before the advent of later models like the Super Reverb.
📜 Historical & Technical Highlights
🔧 Model and Circuit
The 1954 model is typically a 5C4 circuit “Wide Panel” Super Amp — the third major evolution of the Super design.
It uses a tweed-covered pine cabinet with a top-mounted chrome control panel — classic vintage Fender styling.
🛠 Tubes & Electronics

Preamp: 12AX7 and 12AY7 tubes (these miniature glass preamp tubes were relatively new in the early ’50s).
Rectifier: 5U4G tube.
Output power is roughly 20–30 watts — loud for its time and capable of rich cleans and touch-sensitive breakup.
