I wouldn’t call a Fender Deluxe Reverb “underrated”. 😅 I would love to have this amp. Unfortunately in the bands I play in it would be too loud if you want to go for that edge of break up sound, which is what I want. And it’s not even too loud for me personally. I just work with some musicians that can’t stand a bit of volume, while I am so used to playing (relatively) loud. I play quieter than ever and still I have to be careful. The Princeton would be a great alternative for lower volumes. But as much as I like the cleans of the Princeton, the edge of break up sound seems a bit too messy for me. And thus I never bought a Deluxe Reverb, even though I consider this to be one of the best sounding amps ever. 😕

All reissues of blackface style amps from Fender sound great on clean sound. What differentiates them from vintage Fender amps is that the old ones work also very well with overdrive stomp boxes.

My first electric guitar was a 1973 Gibson Les Paul -- bought it used, in 1980, for $400. The amp I bought with it -- a silverface Fender Deluxe Reverb, for I think $250 used. Did not know what I had. Yes, the clean tone was glorious . . . however, turning volume past *2* was ear-splitting loud. Neither I nor my apartment neighbors would have ever been able to deal. I never heard a hint of breakup in tone, didn't know it could. And it weighed about as much as a car. I sold the Fender amp, won't even say what I replaced it with (junk in comparison). The Les Paul -- I still have it. 🎸😎

I find with those amps I got better results using an A/B switch into both channels. While very subtle it seemed to create a more "balanced" response. I set the channels up more as loud and louder rather than clean vs dirty. While I would use the second channel as a lead boost after the solo I'd be more likely just to roll guitar volume down over switching back to normal. But even just using it as a single channel there seems to be a difference with having something plugged into each side over just plugging into one side by itself

@johnnathancordy Deluxe Reverb's are my favorite small amp. So versatile. You have to try jumpering the channels. I think this really unlocks the tone options of this amp. You can get tones very similar to the higher-powered fenders. Try this setting: Vib Vol4 T10 B1, Norm Vol6 T1 B10. Sounds big like a Bassman. Also, a classic mod is to remove the V1 tube. You get more gain in the vib channel. Take that a step further by replacing the V6 phase inverter tube with the 12AX7 you pulled out of V1. So good❤ Shameless plug: i have TONEX captures of everything i described above of my 1966 DR on ToneNet under the username MusicTech. They are DI captures sent through IRs of the cab loaded with a Weber 12F-150. Those IRs can be found on ToneHunt along with other speakers i tried in that cab.

Anyways… in both amps the reverb only worked when plugged into the vibrato channels. Vibrato channel 1 is my favorite on both. Not really using the vibrato much but it’s a foot stomp away.
