Fabulous tube amp if you want that classic Fender sound with new, reliable upgraded wiring and components.
I bought this amp to get back into playing guitars (Fender Jaguar '66 Japan re-issue) after a 30 year hiatus ! I was looking for a tube amp that could generally emulate the sound I got from my original first amp, a '66 Black Panel Super Reverb. This is IT !! I wanted a smaller, lighter amp, and this fit the bill at 20 watts RMS (as opposed the the 40 of the Super, and 20 lbs lighter). Rich classic spring reverb sound, great warmth and rich EQ'd tone from bottom to top, and the wonder "overdrive" from the 6V6 matched output tubes. This thing is hand-wired, and the cabinet is solid pine (rather than plywood). It is much lighter than a Super Reverb as it only has a single Jensen 12" speaker. What I really like is the upgraded design where BOTH channels now can access the spring reverb unit-a very useful and novel idea ! Also, the Tolex covering on this thing is VERY, very thick-designed obviously for a working musician who wants extra scuff-proofing. Expensive ? At 2500 bucks + tax: yes. Worth it ? For me ? Absolutely ! Is it worth the extra 1500 bucks over the cheaper circuit-boarded tube version ? For me it is, for others perhaps not. In any event, I have no regrets about buying it, and I suspect it will retain its value over time if taken care of and not abused.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

'65 Deluxe Reverb "Brownie"
I had been missing my old brown face '63 Vibroverb reissue, and I've been wanting to check out the DRRI for quite a few years. So when I saw this amp I thought I could see what the Deluxe Reverb reissue was all about, AND get an amp that at least had the same look as my old Vibroverb. I have to say that once I made a couple of small changes, this amp is fantastic. The first thing I changed was the speaker. Being a Fender Special Run (FSR) amp, it came with a Jensen P12Q, which is an alnico magnet speaker. In my opinion, totally the wrong speaker for this amp. I also have a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue that I was running a Weber 12F150 (50 watt, light dope) in, so I simply did a speaker swap, putting the Jensen P12Q in the BDRI and the Weber 12F150 in the Deluxe Reverb. Now we're talkin'. In the Deluxe Reverb, the Jensen was WAY too bright, had little warmth and just produced an overall harsh, brittle sound. With the Weber, the Brownie now has the sound I was hoping for. The P12Q turned out to be a perfect match for the Blues Deluxe too. I think the circuit of the BDRI just works better with the Jensen, producing a warm, full sound, but with that characteristic alnico chime. The next order of business was checking out the tubes in the Brownie. To my surprise, I saw that the amp came factory equipped with Groove Tube branded JJs made in Slovakia. Cool! The only thing I did here was replace V2 and V4 (Vibrato channel preamp positions) with my preferred Tung-Sol 12AX7 reissues. I left the Groove Tube 6V6S power tubes alone. Now, on to the bias. I had read in numerous Internet threads that the DRRIs typically come from the factory biased fairly low. I picked up a Bias Pro 1 from Eurotubes and checked both of the power tubes in the Brownie. One tube had a plate voltage of 427vdc and a bias of 25.2ma, and the second tube was running at 425vdc on the plates and 25.6ma in the bias. For a 6V6 tube rated at 14 watts dissipation, that is definitely not a cold bias! And that is straight from the factory. I've never touched the bias pot in my amp. Either because this amp is a FSR edition, or perhaps Fender is finally tuning their amps the way they should, it's nice to see a Fender amp equipped with quality tubes and properly biased. As far as tone is concerned, this amp has it by the truck load. I play both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars, and while my Strats sound good through this amp, it's when I plug in my Les Paul that the magic really happens. I'm an at-home / hobbyist / occasional jam band player, so I need to rely on a pedal to get any kind of overdriven tone. Plugged into the Vibrato channel, volume on 2, treble and bass at about 5, and reverb on 3 and with my Les Paul going into my Nobels ODR-1 (90's original) with the drive at 12 o'clock, spectrum at 5 o'clock and level at about 10 o'clock, I get a KILLER classic rock / blues overdriven tone at a bedroom volume. It's a tone that literally inspires me to play. On a couple of occasions when I had the house to myself, I tried shutting off the ODR-1, and cranking the volume up on the amp. You need to get it up to about 4 before anything really starts to happen, and at that point it's a pure, sweet subtle break-up. With volume, treble and bass all on 5, this amp is PLENTY loud and the natural overdrive has to be heard to be believed. Not over-the-top crunch or anything, but just a sweet, singing grind and a nice even balance between lows, mids and highs. The ONLY reason I gave it four stars instead of five is it just doesn't have quite the same tone quality with single coils as it does with humbuckers, but I'm okay with that. Nicely done Fender. With nothing more than a speaker and a couple of pre-amp tubes, I have a made-in-Heaven partner for my Les Paul.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The ledgendary Amp for Jazz, Classic Rock and Country and Western
This 65 reissue amp unmodified is a nice replica of the legendary amp. Compared side by side with the original 65 its close, enough to be a winner with good tones at moderate volume. I'm somewhat of a tone hound, so, after scouring the web, I discovered a few simple mods I could make to richen up the clear sparlely tones Leo Fender intended for Jazz players like me. I replaced the aggressive 12AX7 preamp Groove Tubes with a more rich clear Mullard low microphonic 12AY7s. They made a nice tone difference with more clean head room. I replaced the Jensen/Eminance stock speaker with a Celestion G12H cream back 65watt which enhanced the rich clarity. I will replace some caps and resistors too. I will definitely have fun, and have the Deluxe Reverb amp of my dreams.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Most excellent
I am so very happy with my Deluxe Reverb. It's got everything I wanted out of a combo amp: size, portability, features and plenty of power for my needs (small gigging, practice). Love the spring reverb and classic Fender tremolo. I'd recommend it to any up-and-coming guitar hero aspirants...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fender solid state amp that sounds like tubes
Vintage mid 1990's models are made in California. Excellent build quality. Original Jensen speaker sounds great. Tough as a sherman tank. No matter where you spin the dials the amp always sounds marvelous. Very powerful, LOUD! You can often score one for almost no money. I'd rather play a live gig with this amp than many over priced over hyped boutique amps.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A good value that gives that "Fender Sound".
A very reasonable facsimile of the Pre-CBS era Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. If you just have to have the "real thing", you'll spend 3-4 times as much. But, if you're on a budget, this is a great-sounding combo amp, good for rehearsal or gigging. But, it's really the sound that makes it a great little amp. I think the tube rectifier is really what sets it apart, sound-wise. And, it's under 50 lbs., which is a plus for a tube amp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
