Fender Deluxe Reverb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fender Deluxe Reverb is a high-end guitar amplifier made by Fender. It has been in continuous production, in one form or other, for more than 60 years. The Deluxe Reverb is a 22-watt tube amplifier (at 8 ohms), powered by a pair of 6V6 power tubes, one 5AR4 rectifier tube, four 12AX7 preamp tubes, and two 12AT7 tubes driving the reverb and tremolo circuits. Throughout its production, the amplifier has most often featured a Jensen C-12 series 12 inch loudspeaker, although Oxford, Marlboro SE and Eminence speakers have also been used.
The Deluxe Reverb is most often used by players seeking a traditional Fender clean tone, with, owing to the relative low output power, propensity for 'breakup,' or musically-pleasing distortion. Many players note the quality of the tube driven spring reverb and tremolo (referred to — somewhat inaccurately — as "vibrato" by Fender).
