Amplifier FAQs

Are Fargen Amplifiers hand wired?
Yes. Every Fargen Amplifier is 100% handcrafted.

My reverb sounds far away and is not as loud as my "blackface" vintage amp reverb...
The Fargen reverb circuit is much more of a subtle ambiance rather than a "surf" style reverb. Think of the Fargen reverb in comparison to a high-end studio reverb.

Can I use both 6V6's and 6L6's in by Blackbird 20 or Blackbird 40?
No. Each amp was designed with a specific output transformer thus the Blackbird 20 uses only 6V6 power tubes and the Blackbird 40 uses only 6L6 power tubes.

Can I have my amp serviced locally?
Yes. We will assist a qualified local technician in your area. We also offer factory direct service using OEM parts.

Do you have a showroom or studio where I can hear your amps?
No. We have a growing, worldwide dealer network where you may demo our production amplifiers. Please visit the Fargen dealers page to find a Fargen dealer near you.

What is the warranty on Fargen Amplifiers?
Fargen Amplifiers have a limited lifetime guarantee against defects and workmanship to the original owner. Please visit the Fargen warranty page for more details.
