Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue Guitar Combo AmplifierThe Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue produces 40 watts into a single 12-inch Special Design speaker by Eminence.
In 1993, Fender released the Tweed series amps to great success and acclaim. The concept: what if a great old collectable 1950s Deluxe or Bassman was customized with channel switching and Reverb? The Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were launched as vintage-styled tube amps with boutique tone at mass-produced prices, and many pro players in the rock, country, and blues fields used them with great results.
After a few years, the Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were reborn as the Hot Rod Deluxe and Hot Rod DeVille, when they received modified circuitry, a third More Drive channel, and Black/Silver cosmetic treatment. Though the Hot Rod series amps are more popular than ever today, increasing numbers of enthusiasts continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, features and look of the original versions. These Reissue models will be offered in addition to the Hot Rods.

QUALITY:
You can't buy a good tube amp for under $500, but there are many for under a grand. This falls in that category and the quality is exceptional. What can I say, the amp is hot.
FEATURES:
Let's see....On/Off, EQ, Clean/Overdrive, Volume.....yep.....everything an amp needs and nothing if doesn't. The Presence, Bright and Reverb controls are perfect and allow you to color your sound, but not cover it up with crap that you don't need. The 40 watts are perfect for what I need. It's loud enough to fill almost any club. And on the rare occasions I play somewhere it won't fill up, those places mic the amp anyway, regardless of Wattage or number speakers. They usually ask you to keep the volume low (so the sound guy can control clipping) and only mic one speaker. Seriously, this amp was made for working musicians in mind.
EASE OF USE:
With the simple features it has, this amp is a no brainer to use. If this amp fits your sound, you wil | |

| Bought this probably about a year ago from AMS. Wanted to wait past the honeymoon phase to review.
The product was reasonably well made. Tube amps are more difficult to make, so I don't want to be too picky, but there were two issues that should have been caught in testing. First, there was some buzz in the chassis with the volume up ever moderately. This was resolved via warranty repair, so no big deal there. Second, the speaker had a small tear in it. I received the warranty speaker shortly thereafter, but in the meantime put in an Eminence Patriot Screamin Eagle, and it changed the amp completely for the better. So the Eminence stayed put and the replacement went into storage. If anyone is looking at a speaker upgrade for this amp, go with Eminence. Made in the US, very reasonably priced, and made to rock. | | Features:
| Vintage Fender tone, but dual footswitchable channels, footswitchable reverb, effects loop, etc. All the best of the old with the best of the new. Not much more to say. | | Ease of Use:
| Plug and play. Set your tone preferences and wail. | | Sound:
| Classic Fender clean sound. I would almost argue it is slightly better than classic with the speaker upgrade. Beautiful cleans, gorgeous reverb, nice crunchy tones when volume is up. Accepts pedals beautifully without murdering your tone. I couldn't be happier | |

QUALITY:
Great amp, the first one I recieved the reverb didnt work, I called the company and had a new one on my porch the very next day. It is a great amp.
FEATURES:
It has everything you need to get the sweet old tube sound I was looking for.
EASE OF USE:
IT si simple, just turn it on and adjust it to the sound you are looking for and have at it.
VALUE:
I believe it is worth the money, for a struggling musician like myself $6 is a lot much less $600 but if you want that sound you have to pay the price. The easy pay is one of the best things I have ever found.
SOUND:
The sound quite simply is AWESOME! | |

QUALITY:
This amplifier is solid. I have experienced no problems at all.
FEATURES:
The external look of the guitar is dead on for the old fender tube amps of yesteryear. For my style of playing, it's got all I need -- what it doesn't have, I can run through foot pedals. As a tube amp, it is very loud at just beyond "1" on the dial! The footswitch pedal gives you the option of going from clean to overdrive, and also to switch on the reverb.
EASE OF USE:
There are few extras except for the bright switch (for the clean channel) and presence control (for the overdrive channel). It has a seperate control knob for reverb, and the standard three EQ controls. I'm very happy they kept it so simple.
VALUE:
No doubt you pay more for a tube amp, but at just over $600, you are getting a lot for your money here.
SOUND:
This amp really has a great warm, bluesy tube amp tone. I was going to buy the Hot Rod, but f |
