SOUNDS
When You think of Fender amps you think or a 65 reverb deluxe...why because it is a masterpiece amp. The tone and clarity from this amp can not be matched by any other. Sure other builders have recreated it to the best of their knowledge and many boutique amps do sound phenomenal. Nothing has the name as the Fender Deluxe Reverb.
This amp sound great just as simple as the design. Use a good Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster and a good overdrive pedal like an Ibanez tubescreamer pr a Fulltone OCD and your have tones for any type of gig you can image. You will feel the chimy and response that makes this amps a legend. Give is a little volume and hear the sweet mild overdrive of a clean Fender classic amp.
OVERALL OPINION
At only 22 watts you can crank this amp up and get a nice sweet overdrive for country pop, or rock music. At new these amps come in at around $1199. Not a bad price for a tone tube masterpiece. I would recommend this amp to any person who need a great sounding low watt amplifier. These amps have stood the test of time and will continue to please guitarist around the globe.
