1965 Fender Deluxe Non-Reverb Blackface Vintage Tube Amp AB763 with Jensen C12Q
Up for sale, a 1965 Fender Deluxe, thoroughly played and freshly serviced. A true road warrior, this amp features the famed AB763 circuit and has incredible headroom and power, something that instantly sets it apart from its reverb equipped brother. Since the addition of the reverb effect into the Fender circuit essentially adds another gain stage, the non-reverb Deluxe really stands out as Fender’s premier 1×12 Blackface combo amp, with incredible warmth, EQ balance, and clarity. Perfect as a platform for pedals and an ideal amp for studio use, this Deluxe captures the quintessential Fender clean sound, with smooth tube overdrive and a hint of compression at higher volumes. The tremolo has a strong, even pulse as well, with a wide range of speeds. The circuit has been freshly serviced, with new F&T filter caps sleeved in the original cardboard tubes and a largely original preamp that retains the famed blue Ajax tone caps which are essential to the sweet, musical Blackface sound. All of the original Schumacher transformers date to 1965 along with the original CTS pots. A three-prong power cable has been installed and the amp boasts a fresh pair of 6V6 power tubes, as well as a host of newer preamp tubes. The speaker is an era-correct Jensen C12Q which has recently been professionally reconed. The speaker has a clean black frame and small blue foil Jensen label on the ceramic magnet. The original tube chart is intact and, with an “OI” date code that translates to September of 1965. Cosmetically, this amp has clearly been on the road for years and seen countless stages. Despite heavy use, the original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth are intact! The stock baffle is still viable, and all of the original hardware is intact including the raised Fender logo, handle, and sphinx glides (feet).
