Up for sale, a 1973 Fender Deluxe Reverb in collector-grade condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original slip cover, two-button footswitch and a full vintage tube set. 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 100% original save for two small silver caps on the back of the chassis, presumably for a reversed effects loop mod. Otherwise untouched, the circuit retains its stock Schumacher-made transformers which have a particularly wide date spread. The choke dates to the 50th week of 1970, the power transformer to the 9th week of '72, and the output transformer and reverb transformer to the early weeks of '73. The preamp retains all of the original blue molded signal caps, and the power supply even retains all of the stock (and still viable) filter caps. The CTS pots have visible date codes from the 9th week of '73, and the chassis stamp reads May 3rd, 1973. The tube complement is original to the amp, with all RCA-branded valves save for a single GE 12AX7.

The original Oxford 12L6 12" speaker has a clean black frame, blue foil Fender label on the ceramic magnet, and dated sticker from the 10th week of '71. The tube chart is also intact on the inside of the cabinet.

Cosmetically, this amp is extremely clean, with sparingly little wear on the original smooth black tolex or silver sparkle grillcloth with pale blue stripe, which shows only modest darkening over the decades. 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 black vinyl slip cover with silkscreened "Deluxe Reverb" text is included, along with the original two-button footswitch.
