These VLG (Very Low Gain) amps would eventually become the Lexicon. This is interesting because this was about the time that John McIntyre was developing his Bluesmaker II stereo guitar amps for studio work. While it still incorporates the trademark parallel gain stage with “Tone Blend” pot, it also includes E元4 power tubes, reverb, a master volume with bypass switch, a Pentode/Triode switch, and perhaps most interesting, two Very Low Gain inputs taking the place of the Vibrato channel inputs, which on the original Bluesmaker were simply disconnected. John McIntyre deviated from the Bluesmaker circuit in several important ways with this amp. The inscription, on the inside of the chassis, signed by John McIntyre, reads: 1993, was titled “ Turn a Humble Fender into the Ultimate Blues Machine” this is the origin of the Bluesmaker.Ĭameron sent his Bandmaster to John McIntyre in Calgary to be modified in 1995. His articles in Guitar Player magazine on amplification mods have set standards in tone excellence.
This amp has been modified to the “Bluesmaker” circuit designed by John McIntyre, who has been modifying and building guitar amplifiers for years.
#1965 bandmaster serial number
The chassis serial number has been ground off (hmm…), but I figure it is a 1965 Bandmaster, probably late 1965, because it is an FMIC amp, after Leo sold the company in January of 1965. This is Don Cameron’s 1965 Fender Bandmaster.
