Up for sale, a 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Widely considered to be one of the greatest tube amps of all time, this Deluxe Reverb is very original and well kept. A first year model with a "Fender Electric Instruments" faceplate and rare no logo grill, the amp is pure Pre-CBS Blackface goodness! Stocked with a matched pair of fresh Electro Harmonix 6V6 power tubes and a mostly NOS tubes in the preamp, this Deluxe delivers the shimmering, balanced clean tone that has made these amps a mainstay in studios and on stages for decades. The amp has a sweet, balanced sound that delivers the top end sparkle and clarity characteristic of the best amps from Fender's Blackface era. This amp is very dynamic, working as a perfect platform for effects pedals and while the treble response can twang with the best, there's a smoothness to the top end that keeps the amp from ever sounding harsh. Turning it up past 4 on the volume dial, the amp begins to push into overdrive territory with light compression and plenty of sizzle. The Reverb is very lush with long decay and the Tremolo has a strong pulse with an almost three dimensional quality to the effect when you increase the intensity. The circuit is very nearly stock, with almost all of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps intact in the preamp (an essential part of the Blackface sound). All of the transformers are original dating to late '64, and the Stackpole pots date to 1964 as well. The circuit has also received the necessary maintenance due any amp of this vintage, with a fresh recap of the power supply with Sprague Atoms.The tube chart is present and in great shape, with an "NJ" date code which translates to October of 1964. An era-correct Jensen C12Q speaker with an early 1965 date code is currently installed in the amp with a clean frame and the original wiring harness.Cosmetically, the amp is a clean and original example complete with original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth. The grillcloth has only aged moderately since '64 and the Blackface faceplate shows very little wear with all of the black witch hat knobs intact. The tolex shows some wear along the bottom corners along with a few stray nicks and scuffs, but overall this amp presents very well. All of the original hardware including the corners, handle caps, sphinx glides (feet) and logo is present.The original two-button footswitch is included.Please check out our shop "Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar" on the web, and feel free to call us directly with any questions at 206.399.8518.
