Fender’s tweed-era amplifiers (named for their distinctive covering) have earned their reputation as ideal blues and rock 'n' roll amps for good reason. They deliver crisp, articulate clean tones at moderate volumes, a quality rarely found elsewhere. Yet, when pushed, they produce a smooth, creamy overdrive, especially in the delicate transition from clean to crunch—making them nearly unrivaled in this regard.
The Reissue Blues Deluxe stays true to this legacy, offering two channels: one dedicated to clean tones and the other capable of rich, expressive overdrive, even at lower volumes, thanks to the master volume control. Tonally, it sits somewhere between a Bassman and a Deluxe, delivering a wide range of classic Fender sounds. The Eminence 12” speaker ensures plenty of power, easily filling small clubs with warm, dynamic tones.

As the name suggests, the Blues Deluxe excels at blues, but its warm, harmonically rich overdrive makes it equally suited for rock, country, and any style that benefits from organic tube-driven warmth.
