Later 'silverface' amps retrofitted to this circuitry are described as having been 'blackfaced,' a reference to the black faceplate used on these amps during much of this era. Some 1964 blackface Showmen were still covered in blonde Tolex rather than the usual black. The complex brownface 'harmonic vibrato', however, was replaced by a simpler electro-optic oscillator. The AA763 (July 1963) and improved AB763 (March 1964) ('blackface') circuit is arguably considered the 'best' circuit version produced for this amp by collectors and aficionados.

But it really came into its own in the famous 45-watt 2x12' piggyback configuration (ultimately discontinued in 1974). It then evolved to a 3x10' 26-watt tweed combo. The original Fender Bandmaster was introduced in 1953 as a 1x15' tweed combo. This amp featuring the AB763 circuitry, is one of the last “blackfaces” and one of the very first of the large speaker cabinets.
