1967 Fender Deluxe Reverb
Quite possibly the most universally revered amplifier of all time, Fender's Deluxe Reverb made its debut in 1963, marking the first time that reverb and tremolo were offered on the Deluxe model. Deluxe Reverb Amps built between 1963 and 1967 have been featured on countless recordings and have graced innumerable stages, helping to make them among the most sought after vintage amplifiers today.
Built at the end of the black panel era, this 1967 Deluxe Reverb is among the last to have left the Fender factory before the model was updated to feature a silver control panel with blue text later that year. The amp remains in excellent cosmetic condition decades on, with very little wear on the grill cloth or Tolex. This amplifier has been serviced a few times over its life and some internal parts have been changed out as needed. The Jensen speaker is date coded 1964, suggesting that it is a replacement of the original. The original output transformer dates to the 6th week of 1966. The power transformer has been replaced with a Mercury Magnetics ToneClone. The amp has had a capacitor job in years past; and a handful of screws have been replaced over the decades.
With fresh servicing by Toronto’s Dom Tantalo, this vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb is once again in perfect working order. It's a spectacular-sounding amplifier that delivers classic scooped-mids, dynamics and touch sensitivity and offers the transparency that makes it a great platform for pedals. Additionally, the amp breaks up beautifully when pushed, especially when paired with a humbucker or P-90-equipped guitar. The tremolo is consistent and responsive, and the reverb is wide and lush. When playing through this amp it's easy to understand why the Deluxe Reverb has become one of the most widely recorded and gigged amplifiers of all time.
