Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue 40W 1x12" Combo Amp  

I played on a Fender Blues Jr. for a couple of months, loved the sound, but I like the additional features of the Deluxe (especially the standby switch).

No issues so far.

This amp is SWEET.  Awesome tweedy tone.  I play mostly classic rock and blues and it sounds great.  My kid is a heavy metal head-banger and ran this amp with some of his footpedals, sounded great.  I have read many stories about how loud this amp is, and it is true, you can shake the walls with this thing, but you can run it at bedroom levels and it still sounds fantastic.  I bought an omnisonic box to tame it given what I have read and that was a complete waste of $20. Google this amp and you'll see plenty of folks that can tell you what settings to use to make the volume good for in home use.  I don't think I'll ever buy another amp. This is the one.

My only issue is with the quality.  After only 6 months of ownership, the wiring to the speaker came loose.  This isn't too bad and is an easy fix, but if a simple wiring job doesn't last more than 6 months then I suspect that I'm in for some nasty surprises within the next year.  If you're good with working on tube amps then this is probably a good buy.  If you don't know anything about amps, stay away beause this amp may cost alot more than you bargained for.

I bought this amp about a year ago. I have a total of 7 different amps and this is the best amp I have ever owned. My band (Cole Porter Band) mainly plays country music and this amp has a amazing sound for country. I am the lead guitarist and I wanted a amp that can get a country twang on one channel and a fat blues sound on another channel and this amp can get both. The clean channel on this amp has a very sweet/smooth tone to it that is very hard to beat. For the dirty channel, this amp does not get very dirty at all. It is a mild overdrive that is mainly for blues, jazz, country and classic rock styles. Not made to get heavy gain for a metal sound. My only complaint about this amp is that if your traveling on the road a lot, you must take care of the tweed on this amp. DO NOT sit drinks on it, or get it wet. The tweed on this amp is real and comes off easily if you don't take care of it. You might consider buying a road case for this amp also to keep the tweed from coming off. Other then that, I highly recommend this amp to blues, jazz, country, and classic rock guitar players.

I love this amp, I looked for years to find an amp with authentic clean sound, that could also get dirty and this amp hit the nail on the head.  I can play music from U2 and Bruce Springsteen to songs like Hells Bells by AC/DC and they all sound great. 

I thought I had gotten a great deal on this amp, but after having it for less than three weeks it started making a horrible high pitched screeching noise.  I tried leaving it alone for a while but the problem persisted.  It turned out the tubes were bad.  I recommend the amp, it's great, but be cautious when you get it.

This amp has just enough features to get the job done, without a lot of things I don't need.

Have owned and gigged with it for almost a year.  It has fallen over several times in the back of my SUV.  No problems.

After comparing several other combo and small watt head options, I feel I did pretty well.

I think this is a fantastic amp.  I've gigged with it live for close to a year now.  It fills up a huge train station/bar (with very high ceilings) at only 3 on the volume.  I usually use the drive channel as opposed to the clean channel.  Quite a few reviewers say they don't like the drive channel, or that it's not enough for leads, but I love it. It's a real gritty, in your face sound that you can't really find elsewhere.  'Mean and clean' is the best way I can describe it.   This amp has plenty of punch, especially with the stock GT tubes.   I swapped those out for JJs recently and was not as impressed.  Even after biasing the amp at 91, the sound lost some bite and ferocity.

Overall a great amp.
