The Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is a hot-modded incarnation of one of the most beloved combo amps ever made. It delivers the legendary tube tone that has let the Deluxe reign supreme for a half-century as the ultimate club and recording amp among countless pro guitarists. Optimized for this custom edition, the 20-watt '64 Custom Deluxe features handwired, modified AB763 all-tube circuitry, Bright and Normal channels, tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo on both channels, a 12" Jensen C-12Q speaker, and a solid-pine cabinet for lighter weight and improved resonance. From its extra-heavy textured black vinyl covering to its gently-aged silver grille cloth, the vintage visuals are picture-perfect. Whether you're going for single-coil spank or humbucker grind, there's nothing like a Deluxe for definitive Fender Blackface clean tones: full, snappy, and responsive, with glassy mids, chimey highs, and just the right amount of breakup. The Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is the amp you've always wanted.

Definitive Fender Blackface cleans





The '64 Deluxe Reverb just bleeds tube tone. Powered by four 12AX7 and two 12AT7 preamp tubes, two 6V6 output tubes, and a 5AR4 rectifier tube, the amp also features tube-driven reverb and tremolo. The '64 Deluxe Reverb has been the ultimate combo amp for anyone who craves pure Fender tone, but doesn't need a ton of wattage. The '64 Deluxe Reverb is perfect for rock, country, blues, or fusion guitarists who want a moderately powered amp they can crank up on the gig or in the studio. The fat, snappy guitar tones heard on many of our favorite recordings, from Memphis to Abbey Road, were made using the Deluxe amp. We have many Deluxe devotees at Sweetwater, and we're all very excited about this handwired, custom edition of this classic amp.





The amp you've always wanted





The Fender Deluxe Reverb amp of the '60s was small, lightweight, and portable. Despite its conservative power rating, the Deluxe was capable of big tube tone, and Fender's world-class reverb and tremolo effects were the icing on the cake. From its inception until today, countless guitarists have chosen it as their go-to club and studio amp, crafting signature sounds with a stompbox or two feeding a simple miked-up Deluxe. Today, original Deluxe Reverbs are prized collectibles, and becoming harder to find. The '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb offers today's players the versatile tone and dynamics of the original with some valuable modern upgrades. This robust 20-watt combo amp is a wise choice for creating big tube tone in small spaces, and provides an ideal amount of output for small-to-medium-sized gigs, rehearsals, and studio sessions.
