For your consideration is a 1982 Fender Deluxe Reverb II River Era hand wired, 2 channel amp.
This amp is basically a hand wired traditional Deluxe Reverb on the 1st channel, but what makes this amp stand apart is that it has a footswitchable second channel that can actually achieve relatively high gain.
The gain channel (Channel 2) has a Mid Boost knob that take is to another level of gain. The included footswitch changes channels and turns the reverb on and off.&n...bsp;
These are the last of the original production all-tube hand-wired Fender amplifiers. These rarely come up for sale, and are really a Fender best kept secret for their wide variety of available tones at a bedroom or small club-friendly power level of 20 watts.
So this amp is like having the classic Blackface Deluxe Reverb circuitry of the ‘60’s on Channel 1 which gives you that classic Fender clean with a sweet breakup when you crank it...
And then Channel 2 gives you beautiful classic rock tone, but if you pull mid-boost button on the overdrive channel you can literally get into 80's metal territory, or use it as nice push for solos. The mid boost button is like having a Tube Screamer pedal embedded in the amp!!
You don't often see this amp coming with the hard to find 2-button footswitch which works perfectly and the lights on the footswitch work as well.
This amp is in impeccable condition for its age. The tolex looks incredible. Don't let this rare beauty get away!!To hear the edge of breakup tone this amp is capable of, check out the this Youtube video of it's close cousin, the Princeton Reverb II Rivera Era amp entitled "Princeton Reverb II & Stratocaster". Beautiful Mark Knopfler vibe.International bidders are responsible for all taxes and customs fees charged by their destination country.
