Do you have bias instructions for a 65 BF Deluxe Reverb? Just re-capped the amp and want to make sure the bias is set correctly. thanks!

Bob T,

The amp you are referring to is the “Deluxe Amp” and it is listed here on Ampwares. It is the same amp without reverb, so ne less gain stage om the vibrato side. If you want reverb you will need to run it outboard using a pedal or reverb unit. I have both a DR and Deluxe, love em both.

Garrick,

Greetings, I have an opportunity to purchase or I should say trade a keyboard for a 1967 Fender Deluxe amp however my dilemma here is,or I should say my question is… that all of the other Fender Deluxe amps im seeing, all have reverb, the one that I’m buying is just vibrato only? with three knobs on the one channel and 5 knobs on the other channel I can not find any information on this amp… can somebody help me are these rare or what?

Jeffery Mercer,

I have a blackface Deluxe Reverb dated early 1967. Beautiful sounding amp, the classic Fender tone. I just put in a Jensen P12N Alnico Vintage speaker and it sounds even crisper. (I’d heard someone greatly improve a stock, modern Fender amp with a Gold Celestion).

J,

I have one 9/1966 and it had a blue label speaker in (12K5-6) when I bought it in 1988. This year I had to recone the speaker and it sounds like heaven! Creamy and chilly, the sound is macig, maybe also due to old RCA-tubes… This amp is in Finland, the Volt-electronics have been modified in the import process in Sweden as they came via Sweden to Finland then. So if you ever visit here, welcome to test it. Juuso
