All user reviews for the Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue

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.

A small vintage tremolo and it'd be great!


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.

My rglages are:
Presence 11 - Reverb 2 - Master 1.8 - Middle 11 - Bass 4.5 - 8 Treble - Drive 9.5 - Volume 1.8.
Canal + crunch and Bright button pressed.

His love the attention of Keith Richards, so very rglage typ for accents cruncher.

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.

SOUNDS

I play rock and blues.

My rglages are:
Presence 11 - Reverb 2 - Master 1.8 - Middle 11 - Bass 4.5 - 8 Treble - Drive 9.5 - Volume 1.8.
Canal + crunch and Bright button pressed.

His love the attention of Keith Richards, so very rglage typ for accents cruncher for the Rolling Stones.

OVERALL OPINION

The witness, his weight: 22 kilos.

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
