The best Fender Black Face amp? ( or similar)
Moderator: bclaire
So I'm bidding on a Pro Reverb amp on ebay, and I'm not sure if it's the best one out there, but it sounds pretty sweet from what I've read.
I'm trying to get a black face clean to run in "stereo" with my rocker to get some really punchy lead tones, so that when I step into a solo, it really stands out. I'll worry about OD or pedals later, but I'm looking between these amps:
Fender Deluxe Reverb
Fender Pro Reverb
Peavey Delta Blues
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
I keep thinking the Deluxe Reverb is what I need. What is your favorite fender black face-type amp?

I had an original 65 Deluxe Reverb(pic in my quote).. i loved it, but i was always having so many problems with it. so, sadly, i traded it in for my R30 and 2x12 cab (which i love!). but i miss do the heck out of the old Deluxe . the good news is that the music shop i traded it at is keeping it with their vintage collection. so i can go in and play it whenever i want.

I do like the idea of a 15" speaker for jazz and such. I guess the thing is that my Rocker 30 just isn't doing it for me as of late, in the past few weeks. Maybe my ears are off or something, but I want to be able to really step out and solo, and get a really great clean, and the R30 is great, even the clean, but I need something else. Clay, I think the Vibroverb is a little too pricey for me: my wife is having a baby, and I've got to get saving up to bring him/her into the world. So I think it might be a Deluxe. Unless I get this Proverb for $450.

<br />The Deluxe is a great amp, just don't go buy a Superchamp, unless you want to go to bed dreaming about those lovely noises that it produces.I am going to burn mine at the stake ,soon. Very soon.

Haha, I DID buy a super champ, and it only made me want a bigger, less digital black face amp. The super champ can nail some ok tones, but it's a nifty practice amp at best, and I need something better. The Deluxe looks to be a really cool amp, not a toy, and everyone loves them, from rock to blues to country to pop.

I have the Deluxe and a R30- the cleans/ mild overdrives of the deluxe are absolutely out of this world- beautiful. great with a strat or a les Paul- it is my main amp
I would try it if possible- it will overdrive in a very distinct way, very like vintage BB King live at San Quentin to my ears- it has a kind of raspy quality to it- it may or may not be what you're after. The non vibrato channel has some of the best overdrive I have ever heard- the 2 channels are quite different in how they behave, I have a warmer overdrive pedal for the vibrato channel and a brighter one for the non vibrato channel.
Brilliant price point but mine already broke down after 2 months of moderate use- touch wood it has been going fine since
I would recommend, it's also about a stone lighter than the r30c

Congrats on the imminent arrival Neil. You're going to have to think rationally soon about music and gear, which are by nature irrational subjects. It's hard, but change is.
I can't advise you about the amps though, sorry.
