Handwired Edition of the Ultimate Club Amp

The Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is a hot-modded incarnation of one of the most beloved combo amps ever made. It delivers the legendary tube tone that has let the Deluxe reign supreme for a half-century as the ultimate club and recording amp among countless pro guitarists. Optimized for this custom edition, the 20-watt '64 Custom Deluxe features handwired, modified AB763 all-tube circuitry, Bright and Normal channels, tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo on both channels, a 12" Jensen C-12Q speaker, and a solid-pine cabinet for lighter weight and improved resonance. From its extra-heavy textured black vinyl covering to its gently-aged silver grille cloth, the vintage visuals are picture-perfect. Whether you're going for single-coil spank or humbucker grind, there's nothing like a Deluxe for definitive Fender Blackface clean tones: full, snappy, and responsive, with glassy mids, chimey highs, and just the right amount of breakup. The Fender '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is the amp you've always wanted.

Definitive Fender Blackface cleans

The '64 Deluxe Reverb just bleeds tube tone. Powered by four 12AX7 and two 12AT7 preamp tubes, two 6V6 output tubes, and a 5AR4 rectifier tube, the amp also features tube-driven reverb and tremolo. The '64 Deluxe Reverb has been the ultimate combo amp for anyone who craves pure Fender tone, but doesn't need a ton of wattage. The '64 Deluxe Reverb is perfect for rock, country, blues, or fusion guitarists who want a moderately powered amp they can crank up on the gig or in the studio. The fat, snappy guitar tones heard on many of our favorite recordings, from Memphis to Abbey Road, were made using the Deluxe amp. We have many Deluxe devotees at Sweetwater, and we're all very excited about this handwired, custom edition of this classic amp.

The amp you've always wanted

The Fender Deluxe Reverb amp of the '60s was small, lightweight, and portable. Despite its conservative power rating, the Deluxe was capable of big tube tone, and Fender's world-class reverb and tremolo effects were the icing on the cake. From its inception until today, countless guitarists have chosen it as their go-to club and studio amp, crafting signature sounds with a stompbox or two feeding a simple miked-up Deluxe. Today, original Deluxe Reverbs are prized collectibles, and becoming harder to find. The '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb offers today's players the versatile tone and dynamics of the original with some valuable modern upgrades. This robust 20-watt combo amp is a wise choice for creating big tube tone in small spaces, and provides an ideal amount of output for small-to-medium-sized gigs, rehearsals, and studio sessions.

  • Fender Custom Series all-tube 20-watt amp

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While demo items from Fender do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

My “Go To” Amp

I absolutely love this amp! A buddy of mine recently bought a real 1964 Deluxe Reverb and once I played through it I had to have one but unfortunately I could not afford a vintage one and the fact that they can be somewhat unreliable due to age kind of worried me so this amp was the closest I could get and I got to say I am very impressed and I know once I break the speaker in it will sound even better! I guess the only negative thing I will say is that I wish the faceplate said "vibrato" like the originals did. The "bright" kinda bothers me but oh well. Also, I wish that fender built black a footswitch with the "RCA" jacks instead of the Made In Mexico footswitch that comes with this amp. Other than those couple things, I am in love with this amp and look forward to years of fun with it!

Two Thumbs Up!

What a great amplifier! No issues at all with this amp. It's lightweight. Sounds amazing with humbuckers, single coils, P-90's, and Filter'Trons. I swapped the Jensen for an Eminence GA-SC64, which gave it some extra oomph and more clean headroom. Our band does mostly originals in the style of Elvis Costello & the Pretenders - perfect match for powerpop.

Sweetwater was excellent to work with and Brandon always follows up with an email or phone call to make sure I'm a happy customer.

Nice job, Fender!

The tone

Simply the tone. Everything you expected for classic rock. Lot of clean headroom. My first tube amp and just can't regret.
Rated 4.5/5

Loving the ‘64 Fender Deluxe (my first high-end gear purchase)

This amp sings!!! Unbelievable tone and total gem. My first Fender hardwired amp - so far I'm very satisfied with it.

Special thanks to Sweetwater crew too! The amp arrived in excellent condition, including the fun candy bag. I hope you never stop doing the candy! Lastly I want to specially thank my salesperson Israel for the excellent customer service.

Worth the $$$ Tones out of this world!

This amp is what I have been searching for for years. This has incredible tones with a guitar plugged straight in or using pedals. The amp is extremely dynamic with both playing and using volume and tone knobs on the guitar making it easier to get different tones on the fly. I tried a 65 Deluxe Re-issue and a princeton re-issue prior to this and the first deluxe had a terrible squeal and I tried multiple cables, guitars and outlets and all got the same results, nothing else plugged in. I tried a Princeton after that and it sounded great but I could get a lot of the same sound from my blues junior IV. I ended up settling then for a Fender Pro Jr IV for the simplicity of two knobs and that amp is amazing as well, but I missed the reverb I had first heard on the deluxe re-issue before the squealing started. I decided to go ahead and give the handwired 64 a try, and I am not disappointed at all. My sweetwater sales rep Greg Okeefe has been wonderful throughout the process as well. He has been patient with my multiple amp escapade and provided prompt return options every time. I am confident making a big purchase like this with Greg and the sweetwater team to provide support if ever needed!

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
