The wonders of the pre-CBS tube amplifiers from Fender.

Fender again made a change in their amplifier cosmetics between 1963 and 1964. The color of the tolex covering was changed to black, and the control knobs were changed from ones with pointers that indicated the level number labeled on the control face to ones that had the level numbers incorporated upon the knobs themselves. These are referred to as the Blackface amps. The Deluxe was given its new look in 1963, and again, the circuitry was altered to the number AA763, devoting a full 12AX7 to the preamp of each of the relabeled “Normal” and “Vibrato” channels, as well as to the oscillator for the tremolo effect, a 12AT7 tube as a phase inverter, and individual Treble and Bass control knobs rather than single tone controls for each channel. The output bias remained fixed, but incorporated a potentiometer to make bias adjustment simpler. The output was also bumped to 22 watts.

This amp is in good condition and has been recently serviced and given a clean bill of health. Over the years the caps have been replaced, the power cord was upgraded to 3-prong, and a knob and at least one tube socket replaced (as indicated by  the original parts included with the amp). Everything is fully functional and the amp sounds great. No footswitch or cover.
