Hey what's up everybody.
It's Chase Bryant here with my friends from Fender.
I'm here today to check out the new 64 Custom Deluxe Reverb.
I'm we're here to talk about a couple of the key features,
and I can't wait to dive into this thing.
[MUSIC]
So diving into this amp a little bit, as you may know the 1964 Deluxe Reverb is
one of the most classic circuits of all amps of all time.
This is one of my favorite amps, and
this here is as close to that amp as I've ever heard.
This is all hand-wired.
It's an AB763 circuit which is as close to what the old 64s were.
And it also features the pure vintage and blue tone caps.
I am a huge fan of that because trying to reach that vintage tone,
it's got all the parts, and it's done the same way they did it back in the 60s.
As an owner and collector of many of these old amps,
I've got to say that I think they nailed it with this.
Between the circuit, between it being hand-wired, and
between those caps, you're getting a great amp right here.

So another great feature about this amp two channels,
Normal channel and Bright channel.
The great part about this is,
there's absolutely clear differences between the sound of both channels.
The normal channel is a little rounder,
you kind of get that really nice round low end.
You go to the bright channel, you get some of that twang,
that kind of west coast sound.
It's great to have two different sounds in one amp, you can take it to any gig and
get any sound you want.
So I'm going to do a little demonstration between the two channels and
let you hear for yourself the differences.
This is the normal channel,
both channels are set
the exact same way.
[MUSIC]
Switching over to the bright
side set the exact same ways normal channel.
[MUSIC]
So amongst all great parts of this amp, I think my favorite feature is the fact that
it's tube-driven reverb and tube-driven tremolo.
Very sweet sounding at that, and the best part about that is you've got it on both
channels, so no matter whether you're using the normal channel or
the bright channel, or you're using both and channel switching between the two,
you've got the reverb and trim everywhere you go.
So I'm going to give you a little
demonstration of what this
sounds like, here we go.
[MUSIC]
There's a reason guys like me love this amp.
You can take it home, leave it in your bedroom, you can put it under the bus.
You can take it to the stadium, you can take it to a club show,
you can take it anywhere you go.
It's a very light Solid Finger-jointed cabinet and
it also features the Jensen C12Q.
I like this speaker, I think it's pretty close to vintage speck.
And I think the one thing about it is it carries all that great harmonic structure
that you can always get in these Deluxes.
And it cleans up very well or it can be dirty, and
the one thing that I really love in the aesthetics of this amp is the fact that
this ragged front cover it looks like it's been played for 40 years.
This amp is perfect for so many different reasons.
One you can take a cable plug right into it, turn a little reverb on,
crank the amp, and use your volume control.
Get by with playing soaring leads, or just playing great luscious rhythm sounds.
So I'm going to do my best to explain this amp on about four right now,
then I'll crank it up to ten and give you a good lead sound.
But this is the amp at about four in volume.
[MUSIC]
Now turning the amp
up to about ten for
a little bit more of a rocky,
bluesy lead sound,
here we go.
[MUSIC]
So I'm going to show kind of how I'd use this amp live with just a little hint
of overdrive just to kind of a light mild overdrive and a little long delay on this.
And I'm going to play more of a rhythm pattern so
you kind of hear the dynamics structure of this amplifier, here we go.
[MUSIC]
I really love this amp,
it's perfect for any player,
it's perfect for any gig.
