I'm trying to figure what type of Fender amp this is? Below are a couple of crappy pics. The serial # on the amp chassis starts with f226. I did a little research and I think this means it was made in 1982. It also has a 5 band equalizer. I think it has 2 10" speakers but that could be wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

That looks to be a London Reverb combo from the early '80s (there was also a 1 x 12 version and a separate head).

Yes, Fender's first foray back into the solid-state realm after the disastrous "experiments" of the '60s. The London Reverb was a 100-watt chassis with cascaded gain stages, a switchable effects loop, channel-assignable reverb, and a few other bells and whistles. They're pretty solid platforms but were only produced for two or three model years.

I've posted this link to a 1980's Fender Amp catalog before... London Reverb on Page 7 with specs.
