{"product_id":"68-custom-deluxe-reverb","title":"Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb 22W Tube Combo Guitar Amplifier","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Silverface Sound, Hot-Rodded\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a reason the late-'60s Fender silverface amps have held onto their reputation for decades. That silver-and-turquoise panel, the aluminum drip-edge grille trim, the blue jewel pilot light — and behind all of it, a touch-sensitive, harmonically rich tube circuit that players keep coming back to. The '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb isn't a straight reissue of that era. It's something more interesting: a tribute that takes the best of the original and sharpens it for the way people actually play today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 22 watts through a 1x12\" cabinet, it sits in that sweet spot where you can push the amp into natural overdrive at volumes that won't clear a rehearsal room. Two channels give you two genuinely different voices, and both have access to the onboard tube-driven reverb and tremolo — something the original '68 Deluxe Reverb couldn't offer. Whether you're looking for clean Fender shimmer or something with more bark and bite, this amp has a lane for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been wanting a small, giggable tube combo with real vintage character and enough flexibility to work with your pedalboard, the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Channels, Two Personalities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vintage channel is what you'd expect from a classic Deluxe Reverb — traditional silverface tone with that familiar Fender clarity and feel. The Custom channel takes a different path, using a modified Bassman tone stack that pushes the midrange and adds more low-end weight. It responds differently to pedals, too, making it a strong platform for players who run a lot of dirt or boost in front of the amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn both channels, you get access to the full tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo circuits — a meaningful upgrade over the original design. Dial in a little reverb on the Custom channel with a light overdrive pedal in front and you've got a setup that covers a lot of ground without ever leaving the amp's menu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAll-Tube Circuit, Built to Feel Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb runs a full all-tube signal path: four 12AX7 and two 12AT7 preamp tubes, two 6V6 power tubes, and a 5AR4 rectifier. The tube sockets are hand-wired, and the transformers are custom Schumacher units built to the same specs as the originals. That combination contributes to the amp's feel as much as its sound — there's a responsiveness to pick attack and guitar volume that solid-state designs struggle to replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender also reduced the negative feedback compared to the original circuit, which means the amp overdrives a little faster and responds more directly to how hard you're playing. Players who use their guitar's volume knob to clean up will appreciate that sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpeaker and Aesthetics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than the Jensen speakers associated with classic Deluxe Reverbs, the '68 Custom uses a 12\" Celestion G12V-70. It adds articulation in the upper midrange and tightens up the low end compared to the vintage Jensen sound — a slightly more modern, rock-leaning character that pairs well with the amp's hot-rodded voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, Fender nailed the period detail: the black textured vinyl cabinet, silver-turquoise grille cloth, aluminum drip-edge trim, and the skirted control knobs with nickel-plated caps all land exactly where they should. This is one of Fender's more distinctive-looking amps, and it's aged well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmp Format:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x12\" combo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmp Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e All-tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 — Vintage (traditional silverface voicing) and Custom (modified Bassman tone stack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\" Celestion G12V-70\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4x 12AX7, 2x 12AT7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x 6V6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1x 5AR4 tube rectifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard Effects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo (vibrato) — available on both channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransformers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom Schumacher, vintage-spec\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Sockets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-wired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four 1\/4\" inputs (two per channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAesthetics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-'60s silverface style — silver-turquoise grille cloth, aluminum drip-edge trim, blue jewel pilot light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2274000000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
