Perfect For Blues, Country, and Rock Styles.

In 1993, Fender released the 'Tweed' series amps to great success and acclaim. The concept: what if a great old collectable 1950s Deluxe or Bassman was customized with channel switching and Reverb. The Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were launched as vintage-styled tube amps with 'boutique' tone at mass-produced prices, and many pro players in the rock, country, and blues fields used them with great results. After a few years, the Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were reborn as the Hot Rod Deluxe and Hot Rod DeVille, when they received modified circuitry, a third -More Drive channel, and Black/Silver cosmetic treatment. Though the Hot Rod series amps are more popular than ever today, increasing numbers of enthusiasts continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, features and look of the original versions. These 'Reissue' models will be offered in addition to the Hot Rods. The Blues DeVille Reissue produces 60 watts into four 10" blue Alnico-Magnet speakers by Eminence.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Overall, this amp fits my needs perfectly. Its a loud 60 watt amp and handles the lows from my Fender active jazz bass, even at high volumes. Great cleans and nice overdrive.
Sound
Clear lows (no mud!) and nice highs without being brittle.
Features
Vintage looks and sound with modern features such as effects loop, high and low inputs and two channels. It also handles an 8 ohm extension cab.
Quality
Solid build quality. Laquered tweed covering is nice to look at. The AlNiCo Blue speakers are absolutely awsome.
Value
$825.00 is a bargain for this amp.
Manufacturer Support
I rate it a ten even though I never needed technical assistance from Fender for any of their products (I own several Fender amps, guitars and basses)
The Wow Factor
It looks great and sounds great with my guitars and my basses.
