back row, Studio Lead*, Stage Lead*, Deluxe Reverb II (Red indicates
valve/tube amps).
As I look after the website
which concentrates on the Princeton Reverb
II, I occasionally get
requests for schematics for other amps in the Rivera-era Fender range.
For two years I couldn't help. But
Mark
Carson on the FDP, a splendidly helpful chap, sent me several. Others
came from other places. So here
you are.
This series of guitar
amplifiers was built from 1982 to 1986 and
are variously referred to as the II series and the Rivera-Era Fenders.
I only own a Princeton Reverb II so please don't ask me questions which
involve actual hands-on experience of the other amps in the range. I
recommend another single-amp site
for the Super Champ.
I am trying to track how many of
these amps were made. If
you
have one, please email me with the serial number (Fxxxxxx,
stamped into a bright-metal area on the rear of the chassis) and the
loudspeaker codes, if any? Thanks very
much. In return I will tell you
at least the year the amps was made,
and maybe a more accurate date. The speaker codes are in white
ink on
the
black-painted
metal near the rim of the speaker. Your privacy will be respected and
no
commercial use will be made of the information. If your amp is being
dismantled, please look for a 4-digit code written or printed on the
chassis metalwork - that's a code the actual week the amp was built and
would really help me a lot. (Remove the capital lettes in the email
address)

links to .gif schematics for the Montreux
- different files for different parts of thee circuit - please let me know your amp's serial
number
The Montreux shared some sections
with the London and Showman, so in most cases there is more info and
clearer graphics in the London Reverb .pdf file - see the section on
the London Reverb ! Note also the mis-spelling of the amp's name in
these link url's... they work though...

This pdf file kindly supplied July 08 by
R.Roberts via the Fender Discussion Page!
Problem; this file opens OK from my hard disk but when I test this
web page, Adobe says the file's damaged. It seems uploading it here
changes
it in some way. Email me
(top of this page) with your amp's serial number and I will gladly
email you this .pdf, which contains the schematic, the parts list and
the pcb layout.
Sep 08 - There is another 'Stage Lead' amp with a
different design. The info on offer above is for the made-in-USA amp,
not made-in-Japan. Actually I've got the made-in-Japan schematic
too. Email me for it; I don't need the serial number.

This pdf file was kindly passed to
me by "Willie", a hugely experienced amp tech in
Lawrenceville, GA, USA (www.musicmenders.com) and one of the most
helpful guys on the Fender Discussion Page. It contains
the schematic, the parts list and the pcb layouts. Email me
(top of this page) with your amp's serial number and I will gladly
email you this .pdf. When
you get it, you will find this extra info useful... paste this into a
notepad now...
