Published on 07/19/11 at 13:31This is another team up pedal between Boss and Fender. this pedal is designed to emulate the sound of a 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. These amps are still popular today and have recently been reissued so needless to say this is a legendary amp.
This pedal has Volume, Gain, Bass, Treble, Reverb, Vibrato Speed and Vibrato Intensity. The origianl amp did not have a gain setting and it had two inputs for the vibrato and the regular channel. This one only has one input but you can have it on vibrato or not. So this is a little more handy and modernized.

SOUND QUALITY
The sound of this pedal is going to sound like a pedal. It obviously won't have that push that tubes get in an amp but the voicing is pretty much dead on. The tone of the pedal has a nice vintage vibe to it that is sort of addictive in a low mild rock sort of way.
I like most fender amps or these types of pedals with a Fender Straocatser. I find that I refer the voicing and tone of their amps/pedals and the guitars of a Strat seem to mix perfectly. Perhaps it is because so many musicians use it in this setup that my ears are adapted to this combination or setup. It is a cool pedal and if you don't want to throw down the money for a real amp this is a decent alternative.
OVERALL OPINION
At new these pedals come in at around $119, which isn't a bad price for this pedal. This will get you the right voicing and will sound god in front of a Fender tube amp. The price is right and is much cheaper than an original or a reissue of this amp.
