Description
1968 was a transition year for Fender amps, with a sound that was still pure Fender but a brand-new look. With its silver and turquoise front panel and aluminum grille, the Deluxe Reverb has been given a completely new face, as it remains the ideal recording and performance amp. Small, light and moderately powerful, it produced a big-tube sound, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists, the Deluxe Reverb has always been the ideal amp for Fender’s classic sound.
The 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic look, sound and performance of Fender’s silver-faceted amps of the late 60s. Both channels feature reverb and tremolo, and the Custom channel features a modified Bassman gain chain that gives modern musicians greater tonal flexibility with pedals. The amp also features faster gain and reduced feedback for greater touch sensitivity. The 68 Custom Deluxe Reverbs single 12 Celestion G12V-70 also offers a more distinctive rock ‘n’ roll flavor.
