Rate and Review This Product
The '65 Deluxe Reverb is an absolute Fender classic. Built with an all-tube signal path, the Deluxe Reverb gushes with vintage Fender tone with enough power for small to mid-sized venues. The '65 Deluxe Reverb captures all the magic of a genuine '60s Fender tube amp, providing the lush tonal landscape that's made this a go-to studio amps for decades.
Pure Tube Power and Tone
This Fender combo abounds with warm, dense tone thanks to its all-tube signal path. With two 6V6 output tubes, one 5AR4 rectifier tube, four 12AX7 preamp tubes, a pair of 12AT7s all pushing a 12-inch Jensen speaker, this amp overflows with vintage tube flavor. Using the normal channel, the simple warm textures are ideal for gigging jazz players. There's also plenty of potential for some genuine tube overdrive, and this amp is ripe for classic rock and bluesy breakup. With such ample tube tone covering so many styles and sounds, it's little wonder how many pro rigs feature the Deluxe Reverb as their centerpiece.
Vintage Fender Effects
In today's world of dizzying digital multi-effects, it's easy to forget the simple goodness of tube-driven reverb and analog vibrato. The '65 Deluxe features an onboard reverb channel just like the classic Fender amps of the '60s. Think of the echoy tones of '60s surf rock -- it was a Fender reverb amps providing those deep, cavernous textures. The '65 Deluxe Reverb also includes pure analog vibrato with independent speed and intensity controls, and a two-button foot-switch to control both effects.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"zZounds wowed me with a perfectly smooth transaction and friendly and polite service." - customer on May 7th, 2012
Sound:
I tried it next to a Hot Rod Deluxe also interested in, and I was amazed how much clearer, puncher and fuller it sounded. The two amps are what I narrowed it down to and in the end this amp was better in all that I was looking for. Reverb was thinner on the hot rod and the cleans were not as warm. This amp doesn't have a drive channel or effects loop but I don't care. I use foot pedals for fuzz, which the green Russian big muff sounds so thick through this amp (you have to true-bypass it first, easy to do!). The only thing I was worried about was the 22 watts, but in the end it proven to be more then I need. I played in 2 bands and funk, classic rock soul band and rock jazz experimental. For both of these bands I have the volume 2.5 for one and 3 for the other and it

"Beautiful Fender cleans, oustanding ZZsounds customer service!"
Sound:
This amp has the best cleans in the business. Takes pedals well and you can just hear that wonderful tube breakup. Finally found that sound in my head. Great for playing any style of music as long as you get the appropriate pedal.
Feature:
Amp doesn't have the features of some of the newer amps but Fender knows, if it aint broke don't fix it. Pretty standard affair but when you buy a Fender, you are buying prestine, crystal clear cleans and of course it's American made.
Ease of Use:
Again, pretty standard amp but it's a classic!
Quality:
The first one I bought had a bad speaker, ZZsounds with their wonderful customer service wasted no time in issuing my RMA number and shipping out my replacement. The replacement is built solid, no issues!
Value:
My Fender Reverb Deluxe is some what pricey but you get what you pay for. Fender amps are some of the best in the industry so I don't mind paying for quality. Price was exactly the same as any other outlet, plus ZZsounds has pay tp play and great customer service.
Manufacturer Support:
ZZsounds always comes through when you need them. They are fast to respond when you email them with a problem. Always very friendly and helpful. Again, my 1st amp had a bad speaker, ZZsounds resolved and I had my new amp in a matter of 2 days! ZZsounds has a customer for life with me.
The Wow Factor:
Well that would depend on the person, to me this amp is VERY SEXY! Always wanted to own a Fender Deluxe and now I do. Blackface Fender amps are sweet!
Overall:
I found my sound and my amp, no need to look any further.
Style of Music: Metal, Classic Rock, Blues
