The Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb: Classic Tone with Modern Versatility

Iconic Silver Panel Design and Legendary Sound

The Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb captures the look, feel, and sound of Fender's iconic late-'60s silver panel amplifiers, offering players a timeless tone with modern enhancements. This 22-watt tube amp features a 12" Celestion® G12V-70 speaker, which provides a rock-oriented flavor while staying true to the lush and dynamic Fender sound. Its lightweight yet powerful design makes it the perfect choice for gigging, recording, or home use.

Vintage Meets Custom

The '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb offers two independent channels:

• The Vintage channel delivers the classic silver panel tone that defined an era.
• The Custom channel features a modified Bassman® tone stack for greater pedal compatibility and tonal flexibility.

Both channels include Fender’s renowned tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo, ensuring rich, immersive effects that add depth and character to your sound.

Enhanced Playability and Touch Sensitivity

Modern updates to the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb make it an incredibly versatile amplifier for today’s players. The reduced negative feedback provides greater touch sensitivity, allowing for dynamic, expressive playing. Additionally, the quicker gain onset adds a smooth, natural overdrive when you dig in, making it ideal for both clean tones and gritty rock textures.

Premium Build Quality

Built with handwired tube sockets, a 4-spring reverb tank, and Schumacher® transformers, this amp is designed for reliability and superior tone. The birch/pine cabinet enhances resonance while keeping the amp lightweight, and the vintage-style silver-and-turquoise grille cloth completes the classic look.
