Sound Pure's Take
The Blackbird has been one of Fargens most popular amps for years! Definitely one of the best blackface-style amps on the market!
If you would prefer a combo as opposed to this amp head, Sound Pure is the only Fargen dealer to exclusively carry the Blackbird combo amps! We typically have the Combo Amps in stock at all times, while the head is typically a special order item.
