I'm iffy on these. I've never seen blackface or silverface acronym'd and unless TAD is some massive retailer that I'm not aware of that's commonly discussed offhandedly like MF, I'm probably gonna leave it off.LHR wrote: TAD: Tube Amp Doctor, vacuum tube retailer
BF: Black Face, refers to Fender amps produced from 1964-1967
SF: Silver Face, refers to Fender amps produced from 1967-1981
Hmm, OK - all of these terms (yes, including 'TAD') see regular usage on newsgroups/forums dedicated to the discussion of amps, and have been for as long as I can remember.Carbohydrates wrote:I'm iffy on these.

Both indeed refer to the faceplate. Note that there was a brief period of blackface aesthetics on the last gasp of silverface amps.LHR wrote:Hate to be anal, but:

It refers to the faceplate, black and silver, respectively.
