The non-reverb Fender Deluxe is an amp that was forever underappreciated, but the secret is out. I remember getting these amps back in the 90s, and most people would pass because there was no reverb. Well, the thing is - these amps sound just a little better than the Deluxe Reverb when it comes to pure guitar tone.
The Deluxe produces a tight, harmonically complex breakup at manageable volume levels. The cabinet and baffle, Oxford 12" speaker, and Schumacher iron are all original and in excellent condition. The black tolex shows no issues, the grille is clean and intact, and the chassis is in excellent shape with no repairs or modifications noted.
I replaced all the electrolytic capacitors - they needed updating, and I reinstalled them in the original capacitor sleeves. I replaced the cable with a grounded one - the original is included. I cleaned all the pots, tube sockets, and jacks, and tested all the tubes - and I think all the tubes are original to the amp. The amp runs perfectly. The preamp tube complement includes a Sylvania 12AT7; the two 12AX7s are RCA. The power tubes are RCA 6V6. The rectifier is an Amperex GZ34.
This is pretty much the perfect first-year, blackpanel Deluxe.

Shipping Policy
By completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy. Shipments require signature on delivery, no exceptions. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely. If there is damage, retain all packing materials intact, photograph them immediately, and send the photos to .
Amplifiers: We take additional precautions to prevent common shipping damage. Depending on the amp, this may include removing tubes, pulling the chassis from the cabinet if heavy transformers present a drop risk, or removing heavy speakers that could crack baffles in transit. Reassembly is required on delivery — we label everything clearly. These measures add to shipping costs but reflect hard-won experience. Vintage amplifiers (20 years or older) are sold as-is — all amps are tested in our shop upon intake and again before shipping. We cover shipping damage but cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in instruments that are 20 to 50-plus years old.
