Fender '57 Deluxe Guitar Amp

I would call this a destination amp, certainly not one on the journey. Very simple in its controls, and by driving the AlNiCo 12 inch jensen P12 R you certainly get the vintage sound we are all looking for. I sold a Fender Bassbreaker to partially pay for this amp and I find the sound at lower volumes to be similar, but when you push the bassbreaker, my vibrolux, the 59 RI bassman or the modern deluxe, you get an interesting edge to the sound that is not found when you push the 57 deluxe. The option to change out one of the 12ax7's for a 1 ay7 for the lower gain sound added heavy cream to an already great milk shake. Loads of harmonics and actually it is suprizingly loud. I am driving it with a gretsch 6119 ht (single coils), a Gibson 335 and an Epiphone Sheraton, both of these are humbuckers. The best instrument is the Epiphone! One last thought - we referred to the Bassbreaker as the Back Breaker (at 70 lbs), and this little guy comes in at 22 lbs! Maybe less really is more. Great in the studio, will need a mic and monitoring on a big stage.

This 57 Deluxe amp is the nicest sounding amps for a 12watt amp cabinet is made from the best pine wood which makes it a great sounding board for tone, it's 25LB weight is great to carry to a GIG , A tone like no other , from clean highs to a distortion that is pleasing to the ear , lighter you play a very clean sound attach the strings and a mad dog comes out from the amp . A great guitar amp to play and own . it is a little pricey ,But a great hand wired amp to Own
