What Fender amp is this based on?

[musicman691]

Fuse Audio Labs is having a Halloween sale and they have this one: https://fuseaudiolabs.com/#/pages/product?id=300849646
Product description says it's based on a 'milestone guitar amp from the 1958-60 era'. From the 'F' it's evident it's a Fender amp and the graphics shows it covered in tweed. Other than that - nothing. No mention of speakers. Would this be a 1959 4x10 Fender Bassman? From the controls I'd hazard a guess if might be as the controls on F59 and the 1959 Bassman LTD in Amplitube both go to 12. Other than that - I'm wondering. I don't know how many amps of the tweed era had controls go to 12.

Yes, it's a 1959 Fender Bassman.

Either a Bassman or a Bandmaster, Presence control and separate tone pots means it's not say a '59 Tremolux. But the 1958-1960 mention means it's likely a model 5F6-A Bassman made '58-'60. Please let is know if you like it.

After a couple of days demoing it I purchased it. Unlike the '59 Bassman in Amplitube 5 I can select either the normal or bright channel and it's stereo if I need that. I know one can make a kind of stereo in AT5 by using two streams in the one plugin but it just never sounds quite right. I tend to use guitar amp sims on other than guitar (synths, Rhodes, Hammond organ for that Jon Lord sound) so I need stereo for those uses.

I'm using it with Redwirez ir's in place of the built-in one in the plugin. As mentioned there's scant info on the amp on the product page.

Thanks for the info Darryl as I seem to have lost the Fender amp reference book 'The First 50 Years of Fender Amps' that I have (had) around here.
