This second hand valve guitar amp is in very good condition.

Some tarnishing to the casing.

Few amps have earned the kind of universal respect that the Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb commands. The 2016 reissue sticks closely to the original mid‑’60s circuit philosophy: sparkling cleans, lush reverb, and a voice that sits perfectly in a mix without overpowering it. It’s an amp that rewards touch, dynamics, and musicality  and it’s easy to see why it’s still a studio and stage staple.

 Build & Construction

The 2016 Deluxe Reverb is classic Fender through and through:

• Blackface styling
• Sturdy pine cabinet
• Silver grille cloth
• Simple, functional control layout

It feels solid without being heavy, and the 22‑watt rating hits that sweet spot between portability and usable volume. 

 Tone & Sound Character

This is where the Deluxe Reverb earns its reputation.

Clean Tone

The cleans are unmistakably Fender:

• Bright but not harsh
• Scooped mids
• Tight low end
• Beautiful note separation

It’s the kind of clean tone that makes you want to play more slowly just to hear the amp ring.

Breakup & Overdrive

At around 4–5 on the volume dial, the amp starts to bloom into that classic edge‑of‑breakup sweetness. It’s touch‑sensitive, warm, and harmonically rich. Push it harder and you get a gritty, vintage‑style overdrive that feels alive

Pedal Platform

The Deluxe Reverb is famously one of the best pedal platforms ever made. Overdrives, boosts, delays, reverbs, modulation — everything sits beautifully on top of the clean foundation.

 Reverb & Tremolo

The onboard spring reverb is lush, deep, and dripping with character. It can go from subtle ambience to full surf‑rock splash.

The optical tremolo is equally gorgeous — warm, pulsing, and musical. It’s one of those effects that instantly inspires new ideas.

 Real‑World Use

At Home

It’s loud. Very loud. You can play it at home, but the sweet spot lives above neighbour‑friendly levels.

In the Studio

This is where the amp shines. Engineers love it because it sits perfectly in a mix with minimal EQ.

Live

22 watts is more than enough for small to medium venues, especially when mic’d. It cuts through without stepping on anyone else’s frequencies.

 Pros

• Iconic Fender clean tone
• Beautiful breakup and touch sensitivity
• One of the best pedal platforms ever made
• Lush spring reverb and warm tremolo
• Lightweight and gig‑friendly
• Sits perfectly in a mix

 Cons

• Loud for home use ,  sweet spot requires volume
• Bright top end may be too sharp for some players without EQ or speaker swaps
• No master volume

The Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue remains one of the most musical, expressive, and reliable amps you can buy. The 2016 model captures everything players love about the original: shimmering cleans, responsive breakup, and effects that feel like part of the instrument rather than add‑ons.

If you want a classic American clean tone, a world‑class pedal platform, or an amp that simply makes you play better, the Deluxe Reverb is still the benchmark.
