The Vintage Reissue '65 Deluxe Reverb is one of Fender's most popular reissue amps, delivering classic Fender tube tone for the discerning guitarist. Its 22-watt, 1x12" configuration is perfect for stage and studio alike.

This special '65 Deluxe Reverb FSR (Factory Special Run) model is being produced for January 2011 in striking Wine Red vinyl covering with Wheat grille cloth. Fender's fitted it with a Jensen P-12Q speaker, which includes the vintage-style "bell" cover over an alnico magnet. This speaker, borrowed from the tweed '57 Deluxeâ„¢, has a warm crunchy tone that's easily overdriven for classic blues and rock 'n' roll styles.

Wish Fender didn't configure their amp pricing structure based on the estimates of visiting Saudi kings playing The Price is Right, because that thing looks awesome. If any amp purchase would have me buying a pith helmet and crystal brandy decanter to complete the matching set, this is it.

I really want a Deluxe Reverb. All tube including the rectifier and reverb - quite uncommon in amps these days.

That video actually turned me off them a lot. The Overdrive is really, really unpleasant. Some pretty horrid harmonics and rattle going on there.

Do not want.

Can't watch the video- at work. This amp looks nicer in black, or silverface like my one. We never play loud enough to get any overdrive or breakup though.

Could be that yours is a Silverface and you don't use HAMBACKERS.

My Champ sounds pretty terrible if you hit it really hard, but it's great at sounding lovely clean and with pedals.

Could be the tubes aren't that nice either. Which when combining a complete retube with the cost of new amp you might as well get a nice SF anyway.
