Stu-bud Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Fender just released its new '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb, a hand-wired version of the reissue. Has anyone bought one or tried one out? They've been for sale for a few weeks now. Just curious as to how they stack up against a regular '65 reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I love a the responsiveness of a deluxe amplifier. Haven't seen or played the new ones. Here's my Fender '57 only 300 made for the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been for sale for a few weeks now. Just curious as to how they stack up against a regular '65 reissue. I haven't tried one. It's a step in the right direction over the printed circuit models, IMO, but the price... ouch. Well worth it for an amp that will last a lifetime, but for the same $2500 you still score a vintage one of the same era. Tough call. Adding the reverb and tremolo to both channels is certainly a bonus of the reissue though. And the demos sure sound great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If you can't go in the store and get some great sounds out of an ordinary Deluxe don't bother spending the money on this one. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I see some cheapo parts in there. At least they're hand wired in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I see some cheapo parts in there. At least they're hand wired in place. I'd make or buy a clone first. For $2500 you could build 2 of them with good parts. In fact, you can order this one assembled from Mojotone for $1500 (the kit is only $1100) http://www.mojotone.com/kits/BlackfaceAmpKits_x/Mojotone-Blackface-Deluxe-Reverb-Style-Amp-Kit_2 You could likely build one for closer to $800 if you sourced the parts yourself and shopped around.

surfpup Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I like Mojotone. I think I'm going to build their 5E3 Tweed Deluxe kit soon. Dub built one and he loves it. And sine I have a SF Deluxe the Tweed circuit will give me something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I think I'm going to build their 5E3 Tweed Deluxe kit soon. Dub built one and he loves it. And sine I have a SF Deluxe the Tweed circuit will give me something different. I used a Mojotone chassis and eyelet board but got all the caps, transformers, tubes, speaker, etc elsewhere. I really highly recommend that you build one. My build is probably all around the sweetest sounding amp I've ever used. I can play it for hours with no pedals or anything and just don't get tired of it. I am pretty much waiting for one of my friends to ask me to build them one because I really want to build more but don't want my girlfriend to think I'm crazy for adding another amp to the ever shrinking space The 5e3 Deluxe is a totally different amp compared to the Deluxe Reverb, the difference is much more than just the addition of reverb and tremolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
