The Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Amp is a 22 watt amp designed for country, blues, or rock players. While some tone connoisseurs will bemoan the fact that it's nothing like the original vintage Blackface, in my opinion this reissue does a great job for the price. It features dual channels (both vibrato and channels), a tube-driven Fender reverb, and more.
It uses four 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 5AR4 rectifier tube, two 6V6 Groove Tubes, and a 12 inch Jensen C-12K speaker. It’s great for anyone who needs a dynamic, flexible amp that can handle most gigs. You can easily control the reverb and vibrato using the two-button footswitch. The Fender 65 weighs in at about 42 pounds, and it’s a fairly small amp—less than 25 inches high and 18 inches wide.
The normal channel, just has a volume, treble, and bass control only. However, without the reverb or vibrato in the circuit, you miss out on a lot of this amp. The main controls on the Fender 65 are in the back, so it’s pretty standard and simple to set up and use. As far as pricing goes, the Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Amp tends to be in the mid to cheap range for Fender products, making it a good choice for anyone who needs a dynamic amp but doesn’t want to spend a large amount of money. It also makes a nice backup amp or an amp for recording in a studio.
