Fender 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Amplifier
1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that was still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a silver and turquoise front panel and classy aluminum “drip edge” grille cloth trim, the Deluxe Reverb received a fresh new face as it remained the ideal recording and performing amp. Small, light and moderately powered, it produced big tube tone, with worldclass Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists ever since, the Deluxe Reverb has been the go to amp for classic Fender sound.The ’68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic look, sound and performance of Fender’s late ’60s “silverface” amps. In a special twist, both channels boast reverb and tremolo, and the “custom” channel has a modified Bassman tone stack that gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals. The amp also features quicker gain onset and reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity. The ’68 Custom Deluxe Reverb’s single 12″ Celestion G12V 70 speaker also delivers a more distinctively rock ‘n’ roll flavor.

Yes, it is darker than the ’65 Reissue (I own both), but it is also much fuller sounding with more low end and more mids. Going back and forth, the…
Rock and/or roll This is a loud amp. Don’t let the low wattage fool you. It’ll rattle the neighbor’s teeth. I have to use an attenuator in order to get the tubes to saturate without going deaf. The sound is fantastic. The difference between the two channels is nice. The first channel is very ‘old school bassman’. Think BB King or Clapton’s blues stuff. The second channel is John Mayer’s Gravity or Pearl Jam’s Yellow Ledbetter. The reverb is nice and warm, and the tremolo is tube-driven, which gives it a very…
