The original all-tube 5E3 circuit is renowned for its early-onset distortion and highly interactive controls—a little experimentation unlocks a world of tonal treats for your ears. The classic design is updated with improved volume pot tapers, offering more precise control at low settings used for rich, mellow clean tone from the Instrument and Mic channels.
The handwired circuit includes premium yellow coupling capacitors chosen for their authentic vintage Fender tone—producing sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids. A newly designed single 12-inch 8-ohm Eminence Special Design alnico speaker delivers these rocking vintage tones, driven by a pair of 6V6 power tubes for 12 watts of classic tube sound and touch-sensitive response.
Period-accurate appointments include a lacquered tweed covering and a top-mounted control panel with easy access to the highly responsive chickenhead control knobs—all housed in a durable cabinet. With timeless looks and premium vintage sound, the ’57 Custom Deluxe delivers everything a guitarist’s heart could desire. Includes a protective cover.

This amp is a versatile tube amplifier that is perfect for use in a small room or studio yet powerful enough for gigging any small venue. Takes a little time to learn how to dial it in but once you do, this thing will blow you away!!! Great for pedals as well. Scott

Best amp in my collection
I’m a life long user of guitar amps as an engineer in NYC and player. I just turned 70 and am over the moon with the Deluxe. I now understand why Kieth uses them on stage and in the studio.

One dimensional. Harsh. All mids
I tried this amp for a few weeks. Wanted to like it but no way. Total lacking of anything resembling clean at any volume level. Basically it’s one trick is a mid hump snarling raspy crunch that I couldn’t tame even with boutique pickups. I know I know, Tom petty, the eagles, but just think if they c...

The Real Deal
You know about the 5E3 magic of this legendary amp already so I will simply say, there are a lot of clones out there, but I am happy I stepped up for the real Fender. Not disappointed at all.
