Iron = depends on model

Some silverfaces had different iron than their blackface counterparts. Off the top of my head, I believe that the silverface Super ran heavier iron and higher voltage than the blackface. CBS tried to make this amp, and other silverfaces, more linear than the older ones. In the process they lost all life in the amp. Many ppl revert this and other silverfaces back to blackface standards (Champ comes to mind, also), for a that "Fender tone" they are used to.

A good book on all the model Fender amps made is "Fender Amps." By John Teagle and John Sprung. Hal Leonard Publications, 1995.
