I am looking at a Blackface 1966 or a Silverface 1968- is there much difference in these 2 amps(usually). I had a 68 in the past ans it was a sweet sounding amp with pedals. I know a couple people are Fender experts- what is the difference and what should I look for?

Same circuit in both those amps. The difference would strictly be cosmetics.

Having said that they may not sound 100% identical due to different tubes and/or part tolerance or vales that may have drifted over time.

Personally I prefer the blackface cosmetics but I'd say play them both and choose the one you like.

Maybe this will help
