Fender Custom '68 Deluxe Reverb Reissue
Fender Custom '68 Deluxe Reverb Reissue
The Fender Custom '68 Deluxe Reverb Reissue pays tribute to 1968's transitional silverface-era Fender amps, a year when the tone stayed pure Fender but the look changed entirely — the silver-and-turquoise front panel and aluminum "drip edge" grille trim that defined the era are faithfully recreated here. Small, light, and moderately powered, the original Deluxe Reverb became a go-to amp for classic Fender tone precisely because of that combination, and this Custom reissue carries it forward.
Under the hood, four 12AX7 and two 12AT7 preamp tubes drive a pair of 6V6 power tubes for 22 watts of touch-sensitive tube breakup, feeding a single 12" Celestion G12V-70 speaker that leans into a rockier, more aggressive voicing than the original's stock speaker. Both channels — Custom and Vintage — carry reverb and tremolo, a genuine departure from the vintage original where only one channel typically had those effects. The Custom channel adds a modified Bassman-style tone stack for greater tonal flexibility with pedals, along with quicker gain onset and reduced negative feedback for improved touch sensitivity over a stock vintage circuit. A 2-button vintage-style footswitch controls reverb and vibrato on/off.
Whether you're a player who wants authentic silverface-era Fender tone and looks with modern circuit refinements, someone who runs pedals and needs the Custom channel's added tonal headroom, or a player who wants reverb and tremolo on both channels rather than just one, this '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb delivers real vintage character with genuine playability upgrades. This Fender Custom '68 Deluxe Reverb Reissue is ready to plug in and play. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Fender dealer.
