Description

The reissue Blues Deluxe is a vintage-style tube amp with boutique tone at a great price that many pro rock, country and blues players have used to superb effect. While its newer cousin, the Hot Rod Deluxe, has many modern refinements, more and more enthusiasts continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, classic features and sharp look of the original version. It pumps 40 watts into a single 12” Special Design Eminence speaker fueled by two 6L6 Groove Tubes output tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes. Its two channels (normal with bright switch, and drive) are voiced for classic blues, country and rock; other features include Fender spring reverb, effects loop, two- button channel footswitch, tweed covering, chicken head knobs and chrome control panel.

  • Great amp, very loud
3 year owner, zero issues...Got this as a step up in volume from my Blues Jr IV Stealth..which is also loud but I needed a stand alone for gigs...Sounds awesome straight in and a great pedal platform as well. Very loud! On one it is loud...(Note the amp on the right rear of the pic :-)

  • Fantastic Sound!
If you are looking for a great tube amp in the lower price range, look no further! Man, this delivers. Sweet highs, authentic lows, and everything in between. I recently bought a Fender Mustang 3 v.2 digital mod amp and it drove me crazy for three months. I finally figured out that it's target buyer was a young rocker who wants a lot of distortion effects. I'm older and like a clean sound with an occasional effect, mostly on the cleaner side. I have a wah, echo, eq, chorus, and tuner pedal in my chain. Bought a fuzz for kicks but seldom use it. One thing, I didn't have any luck using the loop in this amp for any combination of my pedals. I called Fender and the guy said he runs all of his pedals between his guitar and one of the two guitar inputs on the amp. I tried it and problem solved. Very helpful rep at Fender, by the way. It recently took me three days to get any kind of response from Gibson. Thanks to the fantastic people at Amazon and the Music Zoo, I was able to just returned the guitar (twisted neck) POSTAGE PAID and I got an email from Amazon that my refund was being applied before I got home from UPS!!! Back to the amp. It comes with a cover and a two button foot switch (mine was tucked way up in the cabinet where I could barely reach it) for reverb and channel select. And this puts out the sound. In my bedroom I haven't been able to turn the volume of the amp OR any of my 3 guitars past "3". It rattles windows. The tweed covering is classy. I use the lower impedience jack for my American Standard Strat and higher for a Les Paul and an electric 12 string, both with hot humbucker outputs. It also has that famous Fender real spring reverb with that famous slap back you can hear on '60's surf records. You can even see the spring housing all along the bottom of the cabinet. But if you want really deep reverb you'll have to augment it with a reverb pedal. Very nice having two different inputs on the amp too. I doubt I'll ever be good enough to perform in a club, but if I ever do, this is the amp I'll be using and the one my kids will have to fight over when I'm under the grass. I was surprised at the difference between a solid state amp and a tube. This one is sweet. Can't wait for my wife to go somewhere so I can crank it up! One slight PITA: the controls are on the rear of the unit as this is a pretty authentic reissue and that's the way they did it "back in the day". I have to have it against a wall in my practice area and had to photo copy of the picture of the controls illustration to help me read the controls backwards. Still absolutely love this amp!!! ... show more

  • It'll make your guitar sing!
For reference: I am a beginner/intermediate player, and this is my first tube amp. I'm upgrading from a Behringer GMX212, which is a solid-state amp with too many effects for its own good. I've spent hours mucking around trying to find a good sound on it. In just 5 minutes I found my guitar's voice on the Fender Blues Deluxe. This amp is the reason I bought my guitar. It really makes your guitar sing. It has a clean, warm sound, and picks up the characteristics of your guitar's natural sound. Higher notes seem cleaner, and bass notes have a grittier sound. Overall it's perfect for blues, classic rock, and country. There's an effect that will add a serious bite to the higher strings, if enabled. The nuances of the amp come out at higher volumes, which I understand is a characteristic of tube amps. The overdrive is nothing to write home about, so it's not recommended for metal. Although the reverb and presence dials have a noticeable effect. The amp is LOUD, even compared to my 60W solid-state with 2 speakers. It'll hold its own in smaller venues like bars, parties, etc. I encourage you to search YouTube to hear sample sounds of this amp. There's tons of videos, and you should be able to pair the amp up with something close to your guitar model. After my experience with this amp, I'm never going back to solid-state again! ---Amazon Return Policy---- I had to return the first amp sent to me because of a defect. Amazon sent a replacement out right away and with 2 day shipping. I had to pay to ship the original back, but I was refunded within a day or two once Amazon received it. I am very pleased with Amazon's return policy, especially with such a heavy and expensive product. ... show more

  • Great amp great tone !
I bought the blues deluxe as a practice amp or just as a grab an go amp. I have been playing through a fender 68 custom twin since 2017. I must say this little 40 watt 112 amp as impressed me to say the least. I do not use channel 2. Nor do i use the effects loop. I do run a small pedalboard with compressor, overdrive, chorus, and delay. I run the board right into the front of the amp, and couldn't be happier with the tone. A lot of reviews stating stock speaker is too bright. I haven't noticed this at all. I've been playing for about 30 years, and playing out about 20 years. So I feel I have the ears for great tone, and this amp delivers it. ... show more

  • Bad reverb on 1st one... Rverb went out on the 2nd too.
Amazon is playing games. Said this unit is NON-returnable because it's HAZ mat because it contains magnetized materials. WHAT? AND, no 2 day Prime shipping either. Replaced the reverb tank with a MOD brand 3 spring from Amplified Parts. Check the vid on Youtube for the part number, and order from Sweetwater because Amazon Prime sucks these days. ... show more

  • lots of headroom
I bought two of these amps to run in stereo, to have a clean pedalboard platform with lots of headroom. I had to work out some grounding issues (the most effective method turned out to be ground isolators in the instrument cable line) but these can get very loud. Too loud for a bedroom? Maybe don't turn them up past 4. Good for a medium sized club i would say. Don't expect them to break up when overdriven while you are right next to them, as they will be too loud. But it you want to get your overdrive from your pedals, this is an excellent choice. One needed a single preamp tubed replaced upon arrival but this was inexpensive and i did it myself without warranty. So far, after some troubleshooting with the ground in my house, these amps are doing great and i am really enjoying playing in stereo for the first time. ... show more
