1971 Fender Deluxe Reverb Silverface Vintage Tube Amp 1x12, Clean & Serviced w/ Oxford 12L6

Up for sale, a 1971 Fender Deluxe Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original two-button footswitch and a fresh set of JJ tubes. This amp excels at delivering sparkling, detailed cleans with great headroom, and the lush reverb accentuates the chiming, smooth treble response. Both channels sound distinct and strong, and turning things up past 5 on the Volume dial introduces glassy overdriven textures and a touch of compression. Both Reverb and Tremolo are accessible via the included footswitch, and the Tremolo has a nice chop and wide range of speeds.

The circuit is very original, minimally serviced to ensure optimal performance. The stock Schumacher-made transformers date to 1971, as do the CTS pots, with visible date codes from the 18th week of the year. The preamp has a combination of the original blue molded signal caps and some modern Sprague Orange Drops. The preamp features new small electrolytic caps, along with some metal film resistors to ensure the best possible noise floor. The power supply has also been recapped with high quality Sprague Atoms, and a modern three-prong power cable has been installed.

The original Oxford 12L6 12" speaker has a clean black frame, blue foil Fender label on the ceramic magnet, and dated sticker from the 40th week of '71. The tube chart is also intact on the inside of the cabinet and very clean.

Cosmetically, this amp is extremely clean, with sparingly little wear on the original smooth black tolex or silver sparkle grillcloth with turquoise stripe. The faceplate retains its turquoise text and full set of witch hat knobs. All of the stock hardware is present, including the handle caps, chassis straps, raised Fender logo with tail, and sphinx glides (feet).

The original two-button footswitch is included.
