This Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp was owned by Brian Setzer

This amp is in really great shape. The tolex has a few minor scuffs here and there but nothing major. The grill cloth is a bit dirty from age but no major tears. The amp functions completely as intended and sounds amazing. Super splashy reverb and the amp breaks up with perfection. The plug is currently a 2 prong with no ground. Comes with vintage foot switch.
