Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb
Anonymous
Published on 12/07/09 at 10:04
Value For Money : Excellent
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.
