All user reviews for the Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue

I have a soul/blues band and a country/oldies band. I have many amps (Supro, Peavey, Fender, vintage gibbes, etc). When I bought it, I soon figured out it had a lousy speaker. I swapped it out for a Eminence Swamp thing---great improvement. a couple of weeks later I experimented and found out that an Ay7 in the first pre-amp position (vs the AX7) gave it a much smoother and more vintage sound. Since then, this amp has been one of my regulars go-tos. It takes effects well, it's very responsive, and it is plenty powerful enough for any gig. The only negative is the 45 pound weight and the speaker (however, I've noticed that in the newer ones, Fender has replaced the spkr they used originally with an Eminence, so they probably figured out the problem. If you buy a new one, that problem is likely resolved.) I'd recommend this amp as a very good one for a gigging musician, but find one used if you can. the original speaker gave them a bad rap. If you can buy one cheaper like I did and replace the speaker (about $100) you've got a great amp. -- Gator www.rayreedandgator.com

Every lamp !!!
40 WATTS
Rverb dgueulasse wish
nice weight (20 pounds pr a powerful amp is pretty cool)
clear channel switch / crunch

USE

His immdiat, efficient rglages

SONORITS

Channel 2 is a real crunch channel, no overdrive or distortion, but this channel is not used often (the clean channel with pedal crunch is advisable)

the sound is less aggressive ds acute than on a twin reverb, and I prefer (matter of taste)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I tried a Vox AC30 new generation, and sounded much cooler pr a much heavier weight; 650 E bought secondhand, I'm really happy, it goes well with my gear

This is an amp "almost" all 40 W lamps, one realizes that in fact only the preamp and power tube but are reverb, equalizer and inserting effects are managed by transistors and other AOP

It has two inputs, an effects loop, footswitch for the reverb and that's not bad ...

The réglagees it's like Fender: 1-10 (they not know these people zero!)

UTILIZATION

Good for her that is super simple, you plug it turns playing a very good clear sound but it p ***** easily obtained what it's loud!
if you are in an apartment and you want to repeat, opt more for an attenuator
I had a manual, I put it in a corner and I opened it to see which corresponds to which lamp. item.

A tip if you want a powerful ultra clear, replace the 12AX7 in V1 with a 12AY7 and there will saturate the clean channel with no volume, great for anything like me looking for a ultra clear

SOUNDS

I play almost as good jazz or music that is suddenly in the clear mounted 12AY7, it does, the equalizer is effective, the receiver accepts the effects bein

Saturations of the drive channel are my very light taste but I'm not expert in these sounds there, however, it is a good approach or style SRV's the wind cries mary with a strat and CANCAL saturated.

on the other hand to the big rock, you'll have to go through boxes put the record is good, the amp will do what you ask

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, he served in the company of a vaporizer and a Roland JC 55

compared to a Hot Rod Deluxe, nothing, light, creamy, mild snoring but never aggressive.

Compared to the vaporizer, the sound is warmer due to the HP 12 'but it lacks roundness given by the 2 * 10'

this is a good versatile amp that will take you from jazz to rock without any problems, he will accompany you on scenes of good volume. If you need very clear sounds at high volume, you will have to enter 12AY7 for V1 that he never crunch when you do not want it but it's a good amp work

3 AX7 lamps and two 6L6 power to 40 watts, reverb effects loop and switch

UTILIZATION

Super simple configuration, with a good guitar, it's plug and play. No manual for me, I bought it used but it is not necessary.

SOUNDS

The clean tones and crunch are beautiful. For hard he will do with another amp. If you can, plug it into a speaker Celestion Alnico Blue with (note the power!). The rendering is awesome.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2009, no crashes, no problem. I bought it in 2009 to a musician who bought it in 2008: the lamps have not been changed and the sound is still good. But I am careful with my equipment either at home or in transit ...

If you have any problems with the power too much playing at home, you can insert an effect with a volume control in the effects loop. Maybe you will not lightly saturation 6L6 power, but you can grow lamps preamp turning down the volume in the effects loop.

I do it again this choice without hesitation.

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. My first guitar lesson was when I was 10 years old. I play guitar and mandolin. Currently i'm playing in a folk/bluegrass trio, and a four-piece rock band. My musical tastes range from rock, folk, blues, jazz.

I played this amp quite a bit before settling on a tube amp that was a little less expensive. You can pick up one of these beauties at Guitar Center for $629.

This Fender Tweed Blues Deluxe is a really nice amp! I played it quite a bit before settling on another brand tube-amp, only because of price. It's got the wonderful retro-tweed cover, chicken-head knobs, and classic grille that all give it that 50's look and feel. 40 watts of pure tube tone gives you plenty of power for just about any gig. A quality 12" Eminence speaker rounds out the sound. Spring reverb, normal and bright switch, and overdrive gives a wide array of tones and styles. Fender quality, great looks, tube tone, what else can I say? A great amp!

There really isn't much to dislike about this unit. The price is a little high, but still a deal for what you get.

Construction was top-notch. Fender quality, nice tweed cover, seemed well constructed.

This is a great amp, it's got that wonderful tube tone and plenty of power. Cool rretro tweed looks, and Fender quality!

tube amp and preamp for 3x12ax7 2x6L6 for power, the transistor is correct
amp made in Mexico for version Reissue United States, not unlike what is written on some commercial site, though it is the original made in United States, unless Mexico is back in the US ...
the package is nickel from house to pedal board ... Tweed finish could have been darker as the 57 Deluxe is that it is not missed but it's a bit too bright for my taste it is limited in Tweed Peavey

UTILIZATION

RAS

SOUNDS

The clean is very round and warm we feel that there is presence of the fat as I like
The dirty channel is very melodic him very usable unlike what one might think there are many notes very bluesy and light
The reverb of the Fender must have only one word "beautiful"
The finish of the amp recalls the vintage, this attention, the sound of this amp is like Fender would have us believe good vintage, as it is modern with a touch more ...
I compared it with the Vox ac30, the Deluxe VM and Hot Rod are no good bah pictures other sound cold, without the presence ... see garish

OVERALL OPINION

Good against big worry for the volume ... it is not at all progressive to a puree it sends the 40 watt one feels in your face ... for me it is unworkable in the same apartment with a power attenuator
Those who want to play house with, go your way ... bet more on the Blues Junior
I sold it since it's still a very good tube amp for its price, too bad that the correction does not come to light it would have been the coup, comprehensive
Else the vibrations of the screws had his small frame and big power too, will have to play the correct screwdriver for this bug design, shame ...
Looking back I will not repeat that choice 40 watts is enough to have fun with, not exploit it as they should, at once I replaced the 65 deluxe, P

12AX7 tube amp in preamp and 2 6L6 power in
Around 40 watts (the big watts!)
high and low input jack, effects loop and footswitch.
2 channels: clear and crunch with "more drive" (additional gain) on channel 2
reverb.
EQ common to the two channels.

UTILIZATION

Nothing to say simple but effective, except for the metal ...

SOUNDS

Great for rock, blues and all derivatives.
Played with a Start it allows great versatility
clean sounds punchy and precise (thank you 6L6), the crunches are nice
but lacks a little sustain and accuracy. It must
be modified later by changing the lamp preamp question (see in Electro harmonix or Sovtek).
The leads are not usable, but the same symptoms amp accepts pedals with happiness ...

OVERALL OPINION

Urilisé of 2 and 1 / 2 years.
Big clean sound, good power short trunk
with the right Overdrive is extra
For the price around 1000 euros, no other choice to make ...
A little heavy ... but good
Even "live" I could never exceed the 3 volume ...

1x12 combo, 40 watt all-tube (three 12AX7 pre-amp with 6L6 power and 2)
two channels (clean and drive) with a 3-band common legalization

UTILIZATION

Configuration extremely simple, but effective. is the type of amp where you plug the guitar, play and sound any type of scratch: Start, or paul tl

SOUNDS

Trs good amp for playing blues and rock, is not really suitable to drive mtal because of its clear trs limit.les typs are excellent fender (surprenant!) but less crystalline than is can be achieved with a twin reverb (REFERENCE). the drive, even pushed to the max does get a slight overdrive trs.
amp Ragit trs well with pedals for overdrive / distortion (BOSS BD2, SD1, DS1, Tube Screamer ...) which finally allows to obtain a versatile style couillu (a not mean saturation background).

OVERALL OPINION

For those who did not understand, I love this amp, I also look for another, if one of you a seller, I take.

I looked for an amp like this for a while, that has a good clean tone to build off of that still can get a nice subtle tube "drive" at higher volumes. This amp has the ability to provide that but, like most stock amps, requires a little tinkering to get the best results. I swapped out the stock speaker for a Jensen C12K (very nice, clean and powerful speaker), Then upgraded the power tubes to JJ's and RAISED the bias (it comes biased VERY cold from the factory), and then swapped out the 12AX7 preamp tubes for two JJ's 12AT7 - this lowers the gain in the preamp stage and has the greatest impact on providing a lot more headroom.

UTILIZATION

This amp definitely has the quality of the "fender clean" but it is darker and less spikey than the Hot Rod Deluxe. More useable in my opinion. It is designed to have the "Tweed" character in its stock form so it will breakup rather early (around 4 on the volume) if played stock.

SOUNDS

Sounds great, very warm and clear.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, If you want vintage, 'boutique' tone for not a lot of change, this is where you get it. Plus side.. it's a Fender! They wrote the book on amp design back in the formative days of rock 'n roll! For me, I keep everything stock, and this amp is definitely at its best when cranked--the 'normal' channel emanates a warm, sparkly, spongy yet crunchy overdrive when maxed out, which is just the ticket for classic rock, punk, or hard blues. Playing at max (if possible) also helps wear in the speaker and tubes, so that when going back to playing at bedroom volumes, you can get even more warmth and responsiveness. The only complaints I have are that a resonance knob would be useful, as well as a half-power switch.

), At least in its clair.Reglages few, not LED-clean dedicated equalizer, but you can easily find a slight but sufficient compromis.connectique (preamp out to power amp in the effects loop)

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

With a compressor input ds-delay and chorus loop, we can deal a lot of different styles, sounds great over a tube screamer.
on the other hand, it is true that one feels less of the lamps that uses the loop, it was not piloted by tubes.mais you really listen up

OVERALL OPINION

I had one I sold 10 years ago, and since I always regretted never find the equivalent, since, except perhaps on a classic 30, and less authentic and less powerful. Unbeatable price-quality ratio

Amp 40 Watts lamps, a speaker 12''and hop ..... Connection and use over simple but effective

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration and empty, the knobs ragissent trs well. You plug a guitar into it and go. What the rve, is the sound is all the time. Never had the manual and frankly it is not ncssaire

SOUNDS

I play Rock, Rock / Blues, and Hard to Start, Les Paul and Tl. Whatever the type of guitar used, the sound is to go. The clean channel is fantastic. I use a Rocktron Voodoo Valve barnch directly into the clean channel and the channel j'enclenche crunch time to time for extra EHJV, but plutt rare. Canl The crunch is a bit lightweight used without effect.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought nine there are at least 10 years old and I've never done Retube. I love potatoes of this amp, to practically imossible Exceeds 4 on the knob of Volmer. I had a lot of other amps, but frankly the one he stands out. If it ever blows up, I Rasht the same

40 watt combo amp lamps, tweed covering, vintage wish, just for aesthetics, I'm in love dja!
40 watts is not much you say? I was a performer 1000 (100 watts transistor) and this one in terms of volume the itch for it.
Moreover, for heat lamps without dcoller your neighbor's bed, possibility to add a volume box in the effects loop, which will replace the lack of a "post gain".

UTILIZATION

The config can be simpler, with a volume (the light), a drive, trebble, middle and bass, and reverb prsence.
Too bad there's no headphone jack, post gain (or even the knob for the volume of the CONTRL effects loop).

SOUNDS

The sound is terrible! For clean sounds, crystal clear sound that blends well with my scratch trs (a Fat Start us), the drive is trslger, do not expect a Marshall drive type! However, the amp cash pedals extremely well (for my part, I have a maxon od 9 and a big muff).
It's a typical fender trs, some even in the prfrent twin!
Extra.

OVERALL OPINION

Gnial end to end, the amp that made me RVer, and although I'm not.

See below, says it all!

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, the EQ is very precise, not need the manual ...

SOUNDS

I play blues, funk, rock, conviends it perfectly clear at the sound, I play it with a Southwestern Deluxe Fat Start, and a C77 LB CS3, everything sounds in this amp!
The bass are present, the sound is round, bright and warm at the same time, short for clean fender it is served!
The drive channel has its advantages too, but I'm still a fan less than clean!

OVERALL OPINION

Very good amp, powerful, super clean sound, I still find a ZE distos and pedals for crunch!

40 watt lamp. 1 Hp eminence 12pouces

UTILIZATION

Ultra simple. 2 channels that are a bit redundant. Plus: a switch "more brightness," which brings a little more banging.

SOUNDS

I tested this amp extensively by comparing the vox cc2, vox in AD 50 and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (40 watt lamp. My goal was to "link" to the multi effects pedal Vox Tonelab LE.

Verdict: Blues Deluxe comes in fourth position. Of course it's a personal opinion. I play a Fender Start US ash. I'm a fan of fender including their crystal clear sound. But here, the lens is deaf. For solos it sounds pêchus arpeggio chorus but it is far from a twin reverb. The vox are two plain front.

The amp has good bass but again the lack of clarity for me. I can not find fender. The hot rod to me is more balanced. Same good bass, warm sound and clarity. In addition there is an overdrive channel, the blues away. Although it must be repeated the distortion is not the strong point of fender.

About marriage with the pedal is average. Effects such as the octave or modeling amps go moderately well with the lamps.

OVERALL OPINION

That said, it's still a great amp but not at the cost sold. 400 Euros on occasion is OK! Fans of the fender, you may not see you there!

Combo - 40 Watts, 1x 12 "custom designed Eminence 8 Ohm speaker
2 channels (clean / drive), reverb, effects loop, footswitch included.
Weight 24kg ... it's the arm before and after a concert.

Easy adjustment (presence, bass, middle, treble, drive, reverb), but not accurate.

UTILIZATION

Simple setup at first but once you pushed hard I had to find the appropriate setting (normal tell me).
The HP may seem limited, but it is enough to test the INPUT 2, operate in not the "bright normal" etc ... to make the most of its grain and vintage blues well.
The clean is beautiful, always bluesy, it activates the TS9 and there it sounds severely garage.

For my part, I use single coil channel 2 with the "bright normal" activated and back twice (vs. Jaguer Jazzmaster Classic Player HH).
(The manual flash on the interest of two entries but that is its only purpose, all in English I think).

SOUNDS

I was looking for a sound close enough to the group as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but more bluesy and at that level I blossomed. (He plays a Fender twin reverb in my memory).

Material:
* 2 Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer
Electro-Harmonix POG
Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special HH
Fender Jazzmaster Reissue (Japan)

Sound level, must recognize that it may soon sound "flashy" but just focus on "Presence" to "Treble" a little too strong for my taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for over two years.
What I like most is its texture, beautiful and clear sound ideal for the garage when saturated. The less is its weight but it's a combo bin so it's normal and if there is lack of precision of the buttons.

I tried a few models like Orange Rocker 30, a hot rod, a blues deville etc ... the last two are closer and less typed the blues deluxe for my taste. Orange has no effects loop, no reverb, and costs a fortune so I quickly made my choice. Otherwise I tried a Peavey Delta Blues and is very very good surprise is quite a competitor, cheaper but less reliable as saying.

Level quality / price ratio, it is aligned on competition but on some sites it is German or English is at a great price.

If you are into blues rock or mild rock tones then this is the amp for you. If you play pop music or something similar to Coldplay then this amp will be right up your alley.

If you enjoy the tones and voicing of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp but want a warmer for vintage style tone then this is the amp for you. I have been a fan of the Hot Rod deluxes for quite some time now. This amp is on par with that amp with the full rich bodied tone that is so reminiscent of records of old

SOUNDS

The tone you get get with this amp is remarkable! It is jangly and dirty but will never play something out side of your guitar's natural tone. It compliment the tone of your guitar and doesn't take on a new character. The ultimate tone for this amp is a Fender Stratocaster and maybe a Ibanez TS9 or some other tubescreamer. This will get you a solid driving tone that just slams the front end of the band mix. Plus with with the extra dirty channel you can get even dirtier than that. Although I must say that the crunch channel of this amp is fair weak and sterile sounding. So my recommendation is to use a overdrive pedal slamming the front of the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

If you are into the blues style tone and voicing and want a solid durable gigging amp then this is about the best you can get aside form some boutique builder. The tone is warm and full of driving blues tones that will get you excited to come home from work just to play the thing.

At new these amps come in at around $750 which isn't a bad price. I am not sure if these units are made in Mexican or America. They used me American but at some point I know the Hot Rods switched toe Mexico.

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple to use without falling into Minimalism (rocker30 without reverb, or loop, for example) and sublissime sonority (covers as his counterparts from other brands, and even in fender).

Note nevertheless that dépotent 40W max. The sound comes out between 1.5 and 2, and 2 you're already on top of everything!
I will complete the occasion.

SOUNDS

The amp only at first.
All channels, the peculiarity of this amp is the surgical precision of sound. Guarantee of high quality. The clean is simply sumptuous. Very bluesy on it, but at the same time it fits well with everything. The crunch going very well, always very precise very dynamic, fat or sharp or bland.

Tests music store, direct comparison with Blackstar HT CLUB40, AC15CC1 Vox, Laney VC30 112, Fender Hot Road III Deluxe and Deville 412 Fender Hot Road
The Blackstar is completely overwhelmed I do not go on, and the Laney seems bland, like a transistor can seem bland beside the laney. And I wanted to return to his british vox, this trial has completely discouraged me. The vox is totally unbalanced, poorly regulated, rather than cutting edge, it now seems shrill and without the presence of very poor quality (made in china requires).
Where it gets interesting is to compare with other Fender in the same range. The Hot Road Deluxe is disqualified. The clean although already very well is much less accurate when the crunch, we do not know that Fender wanted to do ... kind of a big ugly any disto impossible to settle with a more "more drive" that does not help. In contrast, the Deville is much in this tradition of quality. Its a little different, a little far by its distribution (410 anyway), but we keep the precision and beauty of sound as clean as on the crunch.

Indirect comparison with Peavey Delta Blues and Orange Rocker 30
I own the DeltaBlue few years now, and that is to replace as I am led to all these tests. The comparison is not the easiest (spent lamps ... I do not remember most of the original sound), but knowing that I had not bought the light I remember a great amp that stays in the same lineage. With perhaps a little less precision, a clean equally warm, but low overflowing when properly adjusted.
The rocker 30 was another blow to the heart, but the price, there is no switch, reverb, loops, in clean form of equalizer that even if the sound is fine (much shot british rock) the criteria disposal are very numerous.

Comparisons made by playing Gibson Les Paul Std 93 'Classic 57/57 + and equipped Gretsch Electromatic g5120 equipped with TV Jones.

OVERALL OPINION

Pros:
All except the least.

Cons:
No tremolo (I have on my DeltaBlue, vehicle dynamics and is well on certain types of songs), but hey, we're not going to make any cheese.
The volume, which is immediately very high. (Master Volume and channel

I changed the lamps from the time:

Three 12AX7EH the preamp (Plus Microphone).
Two JJ6L6GC in amplification (Remove the grille to move it vertically).

In the end: His most balanced to operate the 40 watt lamps.

UTILIZATION

The Son, I love Me.

The amp is less than CHRE Twin 57 and I get tired of me bringing His Rolling Stones with my Fender Stratocaster mapple vintage microphones and noiseless.

The sound is good, same again with the E 906 mic recordings.

But I love it, so look at ... is the class.

Other amps seem cold in the same price range. Amp

This is a tube amp made by Fender. It's a similar amp to their Blues Junior, but it is a much bigger and therefore louder amp. It's part of their newer Hot Rod Series (at least this reissue is). It has two 1/4" inputs, two channels (clean and drive), 40 watts of power, a solid state rectifier. It also has controls for volume, drive, EQ (bass, middle, treble), reverb, presence and master volume.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this is relatively easy. I tend to prefer the drive sound, even when I'm going for a cleaner tone, as the clean channel lacks some of the bite that I associate with tube amps. The clean tone definitely feels a little weak, and tinny almost. But a good way to deal with that is to increase the low end, roll of some of the high end on your guitar's tone knob, and keep going. The Drive tone is definitely much better in my opinion.

SOUNDS

I like using this amp mostly with Fender Guitars. It doesn't do the hard rock thing very well, so a humbucker probably wouldn't work on it as much as a single-coil pickup would, hence the reason Strats and Teles tend to work better. I like the sound of this amp, though I think it could honestly be a little better. The clean channel is just far too pure and weak for my taste. For an amp with blues in the name, it doesn't have a lot of grit, at least not until you get to the drive channel. There is where the amp really starts to shine. I think that that channel is honestly better for clean sounds anyway, as it's got a little bit of grit to it when you hit the strings harder.

OVERALL OPINION

I liked the dirty channels on this amp, but not so much the clean. That tends to be my consistent complaint with all the Hot Rod amps. I guess they just have different taste than I do when it comes to this stuff. It's not that expensive so it's not exactly a bank-breaking investment, but it's also not the best amp out there. I'd say save up for something a little bit better than this, and I don't usually say that about most Fender amps! This one just doesn't really have it as much as the other ones do.

40 W lamps, 2 inputs ... read other

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, once connected it sounds, but you have tested all the possible settings, I did not have the manual, I bought used.

SOUNDS

The sound is warm thanks to the lamps is a joy, the drive slightly dirty sound, on the other hand with an overdrive that sounds good, clear sound is great I play a Start with mexico, j 'loves the reverb to sound effects with fat that makes him, after I have not taken to the metal, it bears its name anyway.

OVERALL OPINION

It is a month that I have and I think one thing is to finish the job so I could plug it, so I'm still learning to know, on the other hand it sounds very very quickly (not recommended for use in the apartment), I bought it second hand, he had already turned (repeat, concerts ...) but the lights were changed and I think he's gone turned for a moment. Apart from her, I love the vintage look.
Finally in relation to the price it's a great amp that I highly recommend for those who want a bluesy rock sound. The dream
