Reissue of a legendary combo amp
The 1950s Fender Deluxe tube amps have become some of the most coveted vintage amplifiers of all time for how well they record and how they sound when cranked wide open. They display a warm low end with plenty of top-end clarity that is never shrill - just plenty of fat, thick overdrive that sounds like the best part of yesteryear. Because vintage Deluxes and this Fender '57 Custom Deluxe are 12 watts, they break up at just the right volume, making them ideal for live performance and recording. There's a very good reason this circuit is so sought-after on the vintage market.
Nails the authentic Fender tweed tone
The Fender '57 Custom Deluxe sounds great at low volumes for clear, clean tones. But it's when you turn the volume knob up past noon that you'll begin to coax iconic sustain from this icon of amplifiers. It's a tone unlike any other amplifier out there. And because the whole amp is handwired with incredible attention to detail, the '57 Custom Deluxe responds to your playing, guitars' pickup positions, and control manipulations effortlessly. You'll attain a wide range of tonal shades out of this simple-to-use amp.
Looks great onstage, in the studio, or at home
A good portion of what makes the original and this '57 Custom Deluxe so identifiable are the amps' very 1950s looks. The '57 Custom Deluxe tube combo amplifier is covered in the expertly applied lacquered tweed covering. Its golden hues stand out and look fantastic whether onstage, in the studio, or sitting comfortably in your living room. The period-correct oxblood grille cloth and genuine leather handle complete the aesthetic package. We know these amps sound fantastic, but every player at Sweetwater wants one to make our home studios look that much better.
