Fender 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb

I love this amp..Perfect for pub and club gigs playing anything from classic rock, country and blues. i find it has just the right amount of power to get that classic fender breakup sound at small gig volumes.. back the volume off on your guitar and get great twin type tones.. if you have not used amps without pre-amp gain controls before you need to learn to use your guitar volume to control the gain or simply put an overdrive or distortion in front of it... they sound great with pedals.i use an ABY pedal to switch between the 2 channels or run both at the same time. both channels have different characteristics. custom channel is bassman sounding, vintage is more twin. having had twins and devilles in the past..its a joy to carry this amp. very small in weight but big in sound..

As a professional guitarist who plays a Gibson R9, I have mixed feelings about the Fender 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. The sound is undeniably impressive—warm, rich, and full of that signature "tube" character. It captures even the subtlest nuances of my playing beautifully, making every note come alive with expression.

However, the build quality could use some refinement. Certain details feel slightly underwhelming for an amplifier at this level. Another drawback is the volume potentiometer. Its sensitivity doesn’t allow for easy adjustments at low volumes, which is frustrating for home practice or smaller gigs.

While the amp shines in live performances, delivering stellar tones and dynamics, I’d love to see Fender address the flexibility in volume control to make it more versatile. All in all, it’s an impressive amplifier with room for improvement. 🎸 Let me know if there’s more you’d like to add! 😊

I was deciding between this, and the Blonde Tonemaster Deluxe. as well as Bassman Tonemaster. To me, this one is absolutely worth the higher price. When you turn it up, the low-end is beautiful, there's a glassiness and a little natural compression to the sound but also a ton of dynamics.

Even though, I've never been a purist, I love how it's a fully mechanical amp, with zero digital processing. It just inspires you to play more.

You can jump channels for more tones, or get an A/B/Y switcher to switch between channels or use both at the same time.

There were a few screws that had to be tightened to stop the rattling.

I had a lot of amplifiers. I often trade them, looking for the right sound ... and finally, I found it. 68 deluxe is custom guitar amplifier that can do everything. With this amplifier can cover all styles of known and unknown music. Custom channel phenomenal cooperate with guitar pedal effects and vintage channel has the right fender clean with reverb and vibbratom-controlled lamps. The right of all tube amplifier in the real sense of the word. Ingenious Celestion built into this amplifier G1270. TOP peaks. And what is very important to me, it's nothing that can more easily take amplifier on the one hand and on the other hand guitar. Everything in one go and brilliant tone, Thanks Thomann
