Product Description

In a historic collaboration, Fender introduces its first artist signature amplifiers-EC Series amps bearing the name of legendary guitarist Eric Clapton.

1950s-era Deluxe and Tremolux amps are prized for the warm, rich compressed tones of blues and early rock 'n' roll. Clapton often uses a Deluxe when playing traditional blues, and Fender has answered his call for a special model with several distinctive features by introducing the EC Tremolux amp. Built to Clapton's own exacting specifications and handmade in the United States, it's a fascinating variation on the '57 Deluxe designed with a '50s-era output tube bias tremolo (which produced a more throbbing pulse than later Fender tremolo circuits) and a switchable power attenuator (reduces speaker output). A pinnacle of personally inspired amp tone for stage and studio alike, it's a must for Clapton fans and guitarists who want the ultimate in tube performance.

Hear the classic Fender tone of the EC Tremolux in this video from Fender:

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (1 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Great Amp!"
Overall: I bought this amp to record with and to play some smaller venues. The amp does what I want it to and sounds great! I was wondering what the higher wattage ceramic celestion speaker was going to sound like in a 12 watt amp? It is a great choice! Punchy and throaty when pushed.. Roll your guitars volume back and the the amp / speaker clean up nice. Most of the older late 1950's fender tweed amps sound a bit honkey and thay don't have much headroom. Well this tremolux stays pretty clean up until about 4 1/2 with plenty of volume for a small gig. No reverb but the solid pine cab resonates nice, almost sounds like a bit of reverb.. The tremolo is real tremolo, throbbing and swampy .. very nice! It's a bit pricey, but for a hand wired boo-teek quality amp that sounds great, the price is right! Lots of tweed deluxe clones out there that cost more! This is a tweed deluxe with trem.. Trem-o-de lux get it? The Lacquered tweed, really doesn't seem that Lacquered? Anyway, I will have this amp forever!
Style of Music: Blues, rock power trio stuff!

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
