Fender® unveiled its "Tweed" series amps to great success and acclaim in 1993. The concept: What if a great old collectable '50s Deluxe™ or Bassman® was customized with channel switching and reverb? Behold the Reissue Blues Deluxe™ a vintage-style tube amp with "boutique" tone at a great price that many a pro rock, country and blues player has used to superb effect. While its newer cousin, the Hot Rod Deluxe™, has many modern refinements, more and more enthusiasts continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, classic features and sharp look of the original version. Accordingly, the Reissue Blues Deluxe™ pours 40 watts of juice into a single 12" Special Design Eminence® speakers, fueled by two 6L6 Groove Tubes® output tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes. Its two channels, "normal" (with bright switch) and "drive," are voiced for classic blues, country and rock; other features include Fender® spring reverb, an effects loop and two-button channel footswitch. The great look includes tweed covering, "chicken head" pointer knobs and a chrome control panel.
