  King Loudness's review "Great reissue of a classic"

  Characteristics

  The Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue is Fender's best take on the production line Deluxe Reverb amplifier as it appeared in its golden "blackface" era (so called because of the black face on the control panel) circa 1965. It's a 1x12 tube combo that puts out about 22 watts of power and runs on 6V6 power tubes. It's pretty standard in the Fender layout of two channels. The first channel (normal) has simple volume, treble, and bass controls. The vibrato channel (with its own separate inputs) has volume, treble, bass, reverb, and controls for vibrato speed and intensity. The amp is loaded with a single Jensen speaker as stock, and other than reverb and vibrato there are no onboard effects.

  Utilization

  Getting a good sound out of this amp is pretty simple. It does the classic blackface Fender clean really well, and there's a reason so many players like and use these amps for a variety of applications. Dialing in each channel can be a tad difficult because on occasion the EQ tonestack might appear to not be doing a whole lot when you turn the controls. I find this more apparent on the normal channel than the vibrato channel with this particular amplifier. That being said, perhaps I'm just used to more modern amps and their tweaker mindset. Other than that, the controls react like you would expect and dialing in tones is not overly difficult. Most people run pedals into the front end of these anyhow, which will change your tone up anyway.

  Sounds

  This amp is meant to do one core sound... classic Fender clean. It's not going to offer any of the overdriven sounds that many players today desire. You can get some nice drive sounds by using a pedal in front, but this is the type of amp that is used for clean and clean only. There's no master volume, so in order to get any kind of tube breakup you would need to turn the amp up to 10, which isn't feasible in many places. It's a very clear sounding amplifier overall, great for funky or bluesy tones. I find it a little bit sparkly in the top end for true jazz tones (which to my ears should be darker and richer) but for those types of tones where you need a classic wiry sounding blackface style clean at a reasonable wattage point, you can't get much better than this amp.

  Overall Opinion

  All in all I think the Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue is a great amp for someone looking for great clean tones in a reasonable package. Many players like the tone of a Twin Reverb or Pro Reverb, but don't wish to contend with the huge size and huge volume that amps like that put out. For those looking for true vintage Fender cleans in a portable package, this is your amp. They sell new for about $1,100 which is a good deal considering the quality and tone that you're getting. If you're into Fender cleans and want something good for jams or gigs that won't blow your ears off, check out the Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue. You won't be disappointed!

  iamqman's review "Modern classic"

  Characteristics

  Just about the most classic Fender amplifier that has ever been created. Fender has had quite a few solid amps such as the Blackface, bassman, Twin Reverb, and modern Hot Rod amps. This is one on the level as those classic amps that have rock n roll ingrained into the dna.
  
  
  
  This amp is so colorful and rich with tonal flavor. It makes is hard to think about music without an amp such as this one. The tone that this contains coupled with a nice tubescreamer type pedal is just glorious.

  Sounds

  Glassy, chimey, sparkling cleans shimmering with tone dripping for days are all words to describe the nature of a winning amp for decades. The tone with this amp will leave you satisfied but ready for more. Try this amp out with a nice Fender Stratocaster and you will hear the combination that this amp was made and voiced for.
  
  
  
  This amp has so much potential and all you need is some creativity for style and you will have a killer tone that will rival most professionals. Add a nice analog delay to the mix and couple that with the reverb channel and there you;ll have a sweet rich ambient tone that will give more creativity that you can dream of .

  Overall Opinion

  One of the greatest amps ever to exist and that god they made a reissue of it. At new these amps come in at around $999 which is a great price for a classic amp. I would recommend this amp to any guitar player who needs probably the best clean tone in existence. The versatility of this amp is really endless. It doesn't have much to get in the way of the tone with just a few control knobs and a second channel for a reverb feature. This is a great classic amplifier.

  moosers's review

  Characteristics

  The Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb is a tube based guitar amplifier with 1/4 inch inputs in the front. It has two channels and two 1/4 inch inputs for each. The first channel is the normal channel with volume, treble and bass knobs and the second is the vibrato channel with settings for volume, treble, bass, reverb, speed, and intensity (for vibrato).

  Utilization

  The layout of this amp is simple and has the classic controls that originated in Fender and have now become ubiquitous on guitar amps. It is real easy to get a good sound on this amp - just turn it on and turn it up and sounds good! I don't have the manual to this so I don't know if it is helpful or not.

  Sounds

  This amp is great for just about any type of music, as you can get a variety of sounds and has a incredible clean tone. The effects are also top notch - the reverb is a real spring reverb and the vibrato is one of the best of its kind. This amp has become a classic because of these features and the inherent great tone and overall sound it has. I have only used this with guitar and that is what it is intended to be used with.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using the '65 Fender Deluxe Reverb for about two years. To me it is one of the best amps on the planet, as Fender amps from this time are really just some of the best amps ever made. The overall tone is great and the effects are some of the best of their kind. If you can get an original one of these, it will cost you a bit of money but is probably worth it as it is a great amp with a classic overall tone. This is one of my top choices for amps in a lot of different situations and I can't say enough about how much this thing cranks!

  M Elise's review

  Characteristics

  This is a classic 60s blackface circuit with 2 6v6 tubes, 22 watts, a tube rectifier, reverb and tremolo. The main differences between this and an original blackface are: a ceramic vs alnico speaker, a printed circuit board vs point to point wiring, a light weight cab vs a pine cab, differences in the components do to differences in modern and original component manufacturers, no tilt back legs on reissue and a grounded wall plug on the reissue. As the original, this amp has no master volume.

  Utilization

  Positives: light weight, speaker cab does not sound boxy, 20 watts is great for recording, 20 watts is great for playing distorted classic rock when the amp is on 10.
  
  
  
  Negatives: The classic 2 channel design is not very useful (I don't know why it was so prevalent), bright is always on on effects channel, 20 watts is not enough clean headroom for many situations depending on your drummer, the style of music, and size of the band etc.

  Sounds

  The Fender 60s blackface circuit is indisputably one of the best sounding ever designed. I would imagine an original Deluxe Reverb sounds slightly better then the reissue but the reissue sounds great! I recommend using vintage RCA tubes and trying a Weber 12F125 or Celestion 12H30 speaker. I'm sure there are other great speakers too. The oldest reissues use an emminence speaker which sounds bad at high volumes and should be replaced. The Jensen reissue speaker in the newer models is better.
  
  This amp is famous for its sweetness (the 6v6 tube is unique this way) but the low notes are not as big and rounded like 6L6 tubes produce i.e. Fender Super Reverb or Twin Reverb amp. This amp is very versatile but at different volume levels. It goes from a classic clean country amp below 4 to a great blues amp at middle volumes to a rock and rock sex machine at 10. At 10 you get power tube distortion with tube rectifier sag at a volume level that is near perfect for a loud band.
  
  All my other tube amps (newer Fenders, Marshalls, Peaveys) sound poor and anemic in comparison to this amp (though they do have other useful sounds and features). The Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue sounds more musical with much smoother and much more beautiful harmonics. It sounds stronger, clearer, cleaner, and warmer. And its easier to EQ.

  Overall Opinion

  This amp changed my life! It made me realize how weak and sad many modern amp designs sound with all their features that rob the amp of tone and of how wimpy preamp distortion can be. This amp made me love and always want a tube rectifier if possible. This amp has started me on a path toward getting better more vintage tone and seeking out simpler amp designs. The Fender Deluxe Reverb is one of the most recorded amps in history for good reason. The Reissue Deluxe Reverb sounds great! It may or may not be suitable for live use depending on style and volume since its only 20 watts.

  Pucelle_Dabidjan's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " You see my son, that's a Fender amp"

  Characteristics

  Return on all specificity of this combo seems unnecessary. My colleagues here have explained everything. It is in all-tube amp, modern, which derives its power from two 22w 6v6 and incorporates many features of the Fender amps of the big time. I, myself, a fan of amps with few controls and gris-gris, in my experience, it is almost always better served when only two buttons to rotate to change all that when you are six. This amp is no exception as we shall see later.
  
  
  
  The finish did not seem spectacular. After opening my test model, I even tend to say that it cools slightly. A PCB with full cable, is a little messy. I regret the woodwork a little light that keeps me up on my amp when I crises fads. The finish not impressed me in anything, but do not make me feel bad.

  Utilization

  In use, the simplicity of the controls allows for families to spend a lot faster than you love her. Yet it is not deprived of freedom in the choice. Everything sounds good and is quickly findable / configurable.
  
  
  
  "I note however that sound great FORT 22W ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WANT TO START THE CRUNCHER BESTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUU!"
  
  
  
  We are not at the critical stage of my Marshall heads, but the device shall not be construed with people who want to play in an apartment or have a / a girlfriend / are reluctant at their leisure. By-cons, it has its place in a group where he will speak, even in a pure clean to adequate.
  
  
  
  The lack of effect loop fills me. But the only two onboard effects are démerdent perfectly.

  Sounds

  I make a deal ... haaaaaaaaaaaaa
  
  I let a chord resonate ... hoooooooooo
  
  
  
  Damn! It sounds great that little fender. Dynamics lies in the average single channel amps industry. We have seen better, but I know worse. His real strong point is the sound it offers panoramic scene.
  
  
  
  Whatever your guitar, it offers, from clean to crunch, a wealth of easily attainable with a standard amp. In addition, the sound has a harmony and lightness that puts a tear in his eye. Especially with the channel effects can create beautiful tablecloths. The sound immediately adapts to the guitar / pickup / knob chosen / selected / rotated, which offers lots of beautiful sounds without touching its settings on the amp. I emphasize this point. I spent an Epiphone hollow body jazz, a Dean Flying V, a Gretsch White Falcon and a prs modern eagle through the amp. I have always received excellent sound. It's rare to have an amp that works well with everything. It's just beautiful.
  
  
  
  The only two manquos for me were:
  
  1) limited the side of saturation. It tends to have the lead, but do not want the road next to a Two Rock, Marsh Dumble clone or Carol-Ann OD2, are able to offer versatility (cleans with comparable course). But the price is not the same either, though (see next section)
  
  2) some harsh harmonics between the transition from clean to crunch. That does not include false, this is done with a lot of liquidity, but something in the midrange sounded hard. I do not know if this is the horsepower or the cab file that causes this (see below)
  
  
  
  Another negative point. The cab does that poorly digested 22w howling of the beast. The amp test tended to vibrate when I approached 6 to channel volume. that's boring, because, for the craziest of us, it will re-buy a cab to deliver quality in all (with weights and finance major).

  Overall Opinion

  ... Indeed, in Switzerland, I have to almost 1500 euros to the bill. And marsh or carol-ann is just 500 euros more expensive. At the price usa however, nothing wrong. The machine is estimate to 1300 dollars, making the 1000 Euros. It's very good with the light tones.
  
  
  
  That's a nice little Fender that will delight young and old with quality sound. I regret a little trim mean, that has nothing to do on this amp. It would also have earned a little less light-mail. But I think since the appearance of marks as Tube town, it is possible, without breaking the bank, to make high quality boxes.
  
  
  
  It is rare that a car amp to touch many emotions. This is the case here. If you're interested, I can advise you.
  
  
  
  EDIT: As stupid as it sounds, I was looking for a head version of this amp. Found at Fender, I turned to "Vintage Sound" who offered me a re-edition of the original model blackface PTP, for a price of 1400 euros. A test will be available soon.

  Anonymous 's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  All tube, 22 W, an HP 12 "JENSEN, normal channel 1, channel 2 reverb and vibrato, etc..
  
  
  
  A footswitch reverb + tremolo
  
  
  
  Side is very simple settings, volume, bass and treble all sound settings. The 22 w are well presented, is sturdy and generous in low and medium high. Pure Fender.
  
  
  
  I put 10 if it is considered an amp to the old is to get a beautiful clean sound.

  Utilization

  Simple setup, you plug and play. The reverb is very generous (beautiful, but generous), it is well determined. Vibrato breath a bit (as always), it is very well built and very warm.
  
  
  
  We get easily full of beautiful sounds blues, pop and rock.

  Sounds

  It is a wonderful amp, I have a Blues Junior Jensen very good, but the reverb and the clean sound it has nothing to do, the deluxe reverb is over.
  
  I hesitated with more modern stuff: Fender Hot Rod, clubster RIVERA 25, Vox AC 15. But ultimately the Fender won. Its strong point is the sound clear, and it is especially valued the fact that the instruments used and the nuances of the game I emerged from my Start Plus Deluxe that I had abandoned because of a JCM 2000 Marshall. I use it with an Epiphone Sheraton II (microphones Gibson 57), it is velvet. With my Tele pickups custom shop is very precise and incisive.
  
  
  
  The only restriction is the absence of master, for the crunch must exceed 4 / 5 for the overdrive to 7 / 8 (where you do more ears and neighbors on the back) .
  
  The solution is to find good pedals that do not betray the amp: the Ibanez Tube Screamer him very well.
  
  
  
  I bought it mainly for my home studio to cover a lot of different applications, so for the types of sounds produced, I'll make a small list:
  
  
  
  - Start + 5 + reverb vibrato pm: the beautiful intro of the last Arctic Monkeys, bridge pickup in it sounds very 60's small plane on the 007
  
  - Start + Ibanez TS9 gain at least: SRV, beautiful sound of blues well qualified
  
  - Tele neck pickup, volume 4, Reverb 4 / 5: Jeff Buckley, the finger, plectrum, all shades pass
  
  - Tele bridge pickup + TS9 at noon for the general good little riff Riff Keith Hard
  
  - Epiphone Sheraton + reverb and vibrato to 6 pm: Portishead Dummy atmosphere
  
  - Epiphone Sheraton neck pickup, some reverb, it's jazzy fingers
  
  
  
  That is, in fact it made a lot of different stuff, but never metal or modern, at first I search for vintage sounds good, I've used.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 15 days.
  
  
  
  What I like most:
  
  
  
  - The look Fender Black
  
  - TWIN reverb sound with a weight and a reasonable volume
  
  - Warm vibrato
  
  - The true musical reverb
  
  - Inspiring the next
  
  - Respect the game and used guitars
  
  - HP Jensen
  
  
  
  What I like least:
  
  
  
  - No Masters
  
  - It does not forgive the approximations in the game
  
  - The Marshall JCM 2000 I will miss the large distortion
  
  
  
  I find excellent value for money (970 euros Pigalle), obviously we always love to pay less, but compared to a Blues Junior Vintage 30 to over 600 euros, it holds the road (BJ is great, but its price remains very high). I do it again this election easily.

  vds68's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  For caractéristiqes, visit Fender.
  
  
  
  This is an amp "old", so no effects loop, switchable channels no, no USB port, and only 2 tone control knobs (bass and treble) per channel, etc ... But all that we know before buying ...
  
  How is it possible to make music with so few options? Try to realize there are plenty of things one thinks necessary, and that ultimately are not that much.
  
  
  
  The installation is neat, finishing well. It is not produced in the economy (Electro Harmonix power tubes, it gets worse, supports octal ceramic knobs with a smooth as you might think they are in an oil bath, and j 'on the way). HP Jensen C12K.
  
  
  
  It is not a PTP, but a PCB, not want to get into a controversy in my opinion sterile. The only thing I can say is that I would be curious to listen to the "blind" to a panel of listeners.
  
  
  
  A good point, the electronic circuit is provided with all key measures. Convenient for maintenance or just any change pentode.
  
  
  
  Gripe: the rear panels, seem even thinner than the "original", "z'auraient" could make a little effort.
  
  For that matter, they could take the opportunity to add a second potentiometer (one per lamp) for adjusting the bias voltage. But hey, I'm quibbling, and then it must be that I find the negatives. Otherwise we may accuse me of being "sold" to Fender.
  
  
  
  I put the note 9 to the rear panels of cardboard mache.

  Utilization

  Simply plug the guitar into the selected channel, adjust the tone using the two (yes, I assure you it's enough) and very reactive knobs hop "plays my chicken."
  
  
  
  The manual? Ma Manuel! Ah I see the "machine"-type copy attached to the amp. Well here I am "sacquer", the paper could have been a couple of glossy color photos would have enlivened the whole. How? It would have passed on the selling price? So no, I did not say anything!
  
  
  
  So finally I put 10.

  Sounds

  Preamble: This opinion is highly subjective and should be treated as such. My question: Is there a reference tone in the guitar amps? I mean one which all the others must be compared. I think I begin to answer but I'll keep it to myself (Na!).
  
  
  
  I have not owned or tried, far from it, all the amps of creation. I tried some over the years, I have only owned 3 before it: a Roland which I do not even remember the model, a Peavey "Classic Blues" and a Vox AC 30 TB 1978.
  
  
  
  Me playing mostly old stuff (do not jump to the conclusion that it is reserved for Seniors amplifier) ​​in the style of Shadows, Spotnicks and Rockabilly, I just found the clean sound that suited me best. Absolutely wonderful, hard to describe with words. The clarity of the crystal, the edge of a blade of Toledo steel and heat ... good old lamps (sorry running out of inspiration).
  
  
  
  For the "crunch" it is capable and even a pretty nice way, but in an apartment you have to forget. Unless your neighbors and want more music lovers applauding after each of your benefits. Possibly a "power brake", but personal, I do not like. And effects pedals, "should" although they are good for something right?
  
  
  
  For saturation in a "transistor saw" somewhere else, but I doubt that fans of the genre interested in this type of amp.
  
  
  
  And then after all, "z'avez only read" previous opinions, "y" have still not décarcassés for nothing, right?!
  
  
  
  The only downside is a bit of breath to use the tremolo (vibrato Fender calls it), but nothing too good, and eclipsed by the beauty of timbre.
  
  
  
  Oh yeah, a Fender Start guitar AM Deluxe (what else?). Come on, I teasing you, it is certainly not the only one that will highlight this amp.
  
  
  
  Donate subjectivity, I put 10.

  Overall Opinion

  I do not regret one thing not to have bought earlier. And I advise fans of this type of amp models include the pre-selected for the final choice.
  
  In my opinion is part of the type of material that can not feel the need to change. Provided, of course not to be mistaken amp when purchasing.

  Output for external speaker but no effects loop: the former is

  Utilization

  The configuration could not be simpler: you plug the guitar (a Heritage H150 for my part) and we listen play.
  
  If its easy to get a good means to turn any knob in any direction while keeping a splendid, then yes you get a good sound easily.
  
  Be careful though the volume knob: it is not very progressive and 3 were already very big sound.
  
  The manual is like a guarantee because it does not need anything else.

  Sounds

  It is perfect for my style of music that is not determined a mixture of jazz, funk, pop, hip hop, song ...
  
  Obtained with this amp sounds typical ... fenderriens (surprising, right?), that is the beauty of the stamp stamped Fender: clear, crystalline but terribly warm, velvety, sweet reminding our ears the sounds that have forged (for example, Motown). I think this amp fits perfectly with my heritage (neither more nor less than the equivalent of a Les Paul Standard), offsetting the fat side and drooling microphones by the clear and bright lights.
  
  Note that by buying this amp, you'll save buying two pedals: Reverb (frankly superb) and Tremolo (simple and effective).
  
  on the other hand for saturation, it does not drive channel, so we must add it a overdrive / distortion cash it very well: I played with a Maxon OD808 and my faith, that sent warm wood.
  
  Last point: if you are afraid that 22 Watts are not enough to rehearse with a drummer for example, well do not be afraid ...

  Overall Opinion

  While I do not use that for two weeks, but actually I needed just 30 seconds to make my choice. I was looking primarily for an amp with a good clear sound. I tried a lot of amps (Bogner Alchemist, H & Kettner, Fender Hot Rod, Vox AC15 Heritage) and playing on this one I did not hesitate: it was clear that the sound I wanted. This does not diminish the quality of some amps I mentioned: the Vox AC15 is monumental for example overdrive.
  
  Honestly, for 1100 euros, the price / quality ratio is interesting, even if it is not given 1100 euros. But frankly, a decade ago, have such an amp for 7000 francs was unimaginable.

  tratrawood's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  For all t characteristics mentioned above, the one I'll talk about is 1967.
  
  lamps and capacitors have been replaced by high-end (sprague atom, GE, Mullard .... etc). Has the bias rule and the original hp hp replaced by a vintage alnico weber 30w .... after the top of the purists.

  Utilization

  Simpler you die ....
  
  sound?
  
  blues is the sound!! from light to crunch that's perfect ..... with tl as with a 335.
  
  by issue against versatility I prefer (by far) a more recent amp.
  
  
  
  the amp is not very powerful because if finally the drummer hits hard limit is the clear (it crunch faster) ...... But that is not problem in blues or any style but ask that the sensitivity of watts.

  Sounds

  The problem is ..... it is not at all suited my style of music (big rock marshall fawn).
  
  I'm trying to put me to the blues not to die and it's silly not win lol.

  Overall Opinion

  It's a legend, but the original has a really vintage sound "palpable".
  
  
  
  I would not recommend very strongly this amp for beginners, it takes experience to make it sound and it is not adapted to modern music (it would have suspected).
  
  
  
  The friend who was refurbished does not make me ....... he is afraid that I sold it lol.
