The best amp I have ever played
With Tun Sols in it and an Eminence Cannabis Rex inside, this is the amp that better reproduces my personal tone.
The holy grail of clean tone.
The holy grail of clean tone. Cant´t get any better imo...
a Classic Fender amp - not too loud, great biting point - takes pedals well!
22 watts - manageable and won't break your back, a classic Fender amp, you can do pretty much anything with this and the right pedals. wind the amp up to half way and it really opens up - clean, but dynamic. Reverb is lush and the classic Fender Spring - Vibrato is always fun. I wouldn't be without a Deluxe Reverb....ever
A delight to the ears
Best amp I've owned and most beautiful spring reverb I've heard. Beautiful singing cleans, let's your guitar's pickups and effects pedals really shine. Note that if you use dirt pedals on channel 2 make sure to put the volume above 3 or 4 to bypass the bright cap and avoid ice picky high frequencies, those can sound nasty. Keeping it for life.
Simply clean
The best clean amp out there alongside twin reverb. With fender jazzmaster + deluxe reverb = to die for
An Artists blank canvas
not a dirty sounding amp by any means. the reverb is legit as is the tremolo. loves being overdriven with pedals. Its a reissue. you can't really go wrong with a fender deluxe.
The gold standard
She's a heavy beast, but she is the beginning and end of the conversation when it comes to a clean tone and glorious spring reverb. Well worth the investment, and nothing makes my Les Paul sound better. If it had a master volume control it would be perfection. The only way to get the tubes to break up is to get it up to 9 and deafen the block. However, if you really need to do that in a small space, you probably want a high gain amp anyway. I can always add an OD pedal. I can't get the sweet cleans anywhere else.
one cannot go wrong with a deluxe reverb... if I am using backline and the venue can't provide a decent ac30 or 15 I will settle for one of these any day, though I really prefer the old ones, even SF, the RIs don't sound as bad as all the cork sniffers claim, its more than okay
