PricePaid: 800 USD (New) Purchased From: N/A Model Year: 2004Features: [7] Fender tube amp with 22 watts of power into a 12" Jenson speaker.
Tube vibrato and a nice reverb.
It's got dual channels too which I find really useful. Sound: [10] It might only we 22W but it's really loud. I only place clubs and wanted a valve amp I could drive. I've had bigger amps but you just can't drive them enough for the sound I want.
I use a Tele, a Strat and a Gibson 335 through this and they all sound great. I play country and blues and you can get a great blues overdrive with the Gibson 335 and Reliability & Durability: [8] No problems yet but as it's a valve amp you do have to treat them with respect. I've already changed the vales over and intend to do so yearly. Overall Rating: [9] I love my Fender Deluxe - and it just shows that they got things right many years ago.
If you play blues and country you really need a valve amp and I'd go as far as to say that Fender are the ones that can get "that" sound.
If something happened to this amp I would definately get another. |
