While the Twin Reverb set the standard as the large-club amp, its smaller sibling the Deluxe Reverb established itself as perhaps the most popular small-to-medium club and studio amp of all time. And now, in this age of improved sound reinforcement and lower stage volumes, a Deluxe Reverb remains all the amp that plenty of players need to get their mojo going, whatever size the venue. With 22 watts from two 6V6GT output tubes in class AB, a single 12” Oxford 12K5-6 speaker, and tasty tube reverb and tremolo (the latter errantly dubbed “vibrato” on Fender control panels), the Deluxe Reverb® is a grab’n’go combo that has proved a pivotal tone tool for too many major players to begin to mention. Its clean tones exhibit classic mid-’60s Fender sparkle and bite, while its overdrive is extremely dynamic and expressive. Plenty of guitarists consider this the “ultimate Tele amp”, but inject just about any style axe and the Deluxe Reverb® will deal out gorgeous tones with equal finesse.

Normal
The Normal channel is the mellower of the two, with less brightness and gain than the Vibrato channel.

Vibrato
The Vibrato channel is a separate preamp circuit with tone and clipping characteristics that are different than the Normal channel due to an additional 12AX7 tube stage. High frequencies are increased due to the addition of a bright cap across the volume knob.
