All user reviews of 4/5 for the Fender Deluxe Reverb II

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.



UTILIZATION

This amp is not hard to figure out at all. The front panel is easy to read and if you have spent 10 minutes with this amp you will be able to dial it in to get a good quick usable tone. There is two inputs and these are for high and low sensitivity or output brilliance.

The amp seems too easy sometimes and I wish they had a little bit more features but that is Fender. They stick to the classic look and the classic features from the days of old. The will probably continue to do it this way since this is the age of vintage amplifiers to be highly sought after. This gets people in the door with the new price.


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

These amps are not being produced anymore and will only be found on the used market. I have no idea what these amps are going for in this market, bet you can get one cheap.

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.
