10 best fender tube amplifier

Product description

In early 1952, the Fender® Bassman® amplified a great new invention - the Fender Precision Bass® guitar. At 50 watts, it competed easily with the common instrumentation of the day: horns, piano, small drum kit, and maybe even an electric guitar through a new 10-watt amp. Through the ’60s and ’70s, the original all-tube tweed 4x10” Bassman® was popular with rock, country and blues guitarists as a reliably great-sounding and easy-to-use guitar amp. In the ’90s, Fender released an affordable ’59 Bassman reissue amplifier to great acclaim. Many guitarists, tired of experimenting with preamps, equalizers and effects racks, rediscovered the simple pleasure of plugging into a Fender tube amp. The reissue Bassman’s wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency swirl make it perfect for building great tone with almost any guitar or effect, and it remains a staple of the Fender guitar amp line to this day.

User questions & answers

Answer:	It can be used with a keyboard, but its meant for bass guitar.
Question:	Is this a bass amp
Answer:	Yes, there will be a power cable included with the amp.
Question:	where is this amp made
Answer:	Yes, it should work if your double bass has a 1/4" cable connection with your pickup system.

User questions & answers

Question:	So am I buying a Harmonica or a tube amp. First paragraph is describing a harmonica in different keys
Answer:	It's the amp. Clearly a typo with the first part of the description. And the amp is great
Question:	How do you hook up an effects loop
Answer:	You don’t, way better to run a befal board in series. This amp doesn’t need much, a tube screamer, your favorite wah pedal, maybe a delay, that’s it. It is an incredible tone machine. I put an expensive 10 band EQ on this amp thinking I might make the tone even better, not so, I pulled it out of the loop, amp better by itself.
Question:	Are the tubes made by Fender? If not, what brand are they
Answer:	Without taking the amp apart, I can see 3 GT tubes and one made in Russia. The last tube I can.'t see the label. Hope this helps, if not I can open the back for more info.
Question:	I am going to purchase a slide/lap guitar. i am attracted to fenders mustang series, but have been advised to purchase a tube amp. any thoughts
Answer:	The Blues Junior is a great sounding amp. I play my lap steel through it on occasion and it's a good combination. Most guitarists prefer the sound of tube amps. The Blues Junior is a big step up from the mustang series in terms of sound quality. It's also more expensive. Play your instrument through both and see if the difference in sound is worth the difference in money to you.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a lot of pedals especially reverb/echo ones, then do I need this tonemaster or a champion 100xl will do? Pls advise
Answer:	The Champion 100xl has a gamut of foot pedal effects built in if you check the specs on Fender's website. This may be a disadvantage or advantage to you in that you will need to use fewer effects pedals than you do at present. The Champion 100xl weighs far more than the Tone Master Deluxe reverb, which is important to me as I travel internationally. The Tone Master Deluxe Reverb has a normal socket as well as it's Reverb socket. I also have a selection of effects pedals, among them a Fender Marine Layer Reverb which I still use with this amp. The sound reproduction is fantastic even though it has only one speaker (I know that the Champion 100xl has two Celestions which are fantastic speakers). The Tone Master Deluxe Reverb's ability to power down from 22 watts to 0.2 watts was another reason why I selected it over the other Fender amps. It enabled me to hear, and enjoy, the music created without disturbing the neighbourhood whilst still allowing full volume on gigs. Both are great speakers but the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb allows more scope in what effects pedals I want to add to it for whatever genre music I want to play.
Question:	So the tone master does a better job on the reverb deluxe then their mustang gt does ? (tm is 1 trick pony. mustang gt does 100's ofthings though
Answer:	I have the GT 40, and this amp blows it out of the water. The GT series divides they processing power between different amps and the Tone Master uses it all for just one
Question:	Does the Tonemaster Twin have enough clean headroom
Answer:	Absolutely it does. Just like a normal Twin it has tremendous headroom for clean but you can also attenuate it in the back to get it to break up at lower volume. Best of both worlds.
Question:	How would this sound with acoustic guitars? Advisable or not
Answer:	Not advisable. Electric guitar amps intentionally distort and are designed to produce a limited frequency range. Acoustic needs a clean, full range amplifier like a Fender Acoustisonic.

One of the most popular amplifiers of all time lives again in the 57 Custom Champ. Renown for its flexibility, ease-of-use and knockout tone this is the classic sound heard on thousands of recordings. A wide variety of playable tones inhabit this hand-wired performerfrom crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes.The Fender 5F1 circuit used in the 57 Custom Champ has become legendary for its heightened dynamic response and sweet sounding tube overdrive when pushed. A 12AX7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube generates this in-demand overdrive. When the volume is cranked, this little wonder sings with the natural compression and rich even-order harmonics of a power tube working at peak output in Class A topology. The 8-in. Weber Alnico speaker stays true to the classic Champ sound, compressing to create fat tone at higher levels while more than ably reproducing the raunchy tones found at the top of the amps volume knob. The hand-wired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tonesparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids.Onstage this amp looks great, retaining classic Champ visual appeallacquered tweed, chickenhead knob, leather handle and 1/4-in inputs for low or high output instruments are all here. In the studio, the 5-watt design means youll be able to explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones (or your ears).

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Corona california, usa
Question:	Does this come with a cover
Answer:	Yes, the '57 Custom Champ comes with a fitted cover.
Question:	Is this amp 110v or 220v
Answer:	110v
Question:	Is this a good harmonica amp
Answer:	No idea. My guess is that it would be overkill for a harmonica amp but I don't understand the specific needs of a harp player. You're always playing through a microphone for a harmonica, right? In that context it seems a bit ridiculous to spend this kind of money. Or is this question meant in jest?

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the Super Reverb have an effects loop
Answer:	No, this amp does not have an effects loop.
Question:	How does this amp compare with the Mustang modeling amps in terms of clean tone and overall value? I have a pedalboard for overdrive sounds
Answer:	The Mustangs are a great value due to their wide variety of good-sounding amp models, on-board effects, and watts per dollar. Many players feel, however, that for a clean amp sound nothing beats a Fender classic tube reissue like the Deluxe. It's good with pedals too. Kind of pricey compared to the Mustangs, but for some "that sound" is where the value lies.
Question:	Does the fender '65 twin reverb reissue actually contain two independent amplifiers ?? two completely independent sets of volume and tone controls
Answer:	It is called a twin reverb because of the twin 12 inch speakers. Not the amplifier. The Deluxe Reverb only has 1 - 12" speaker.
Question:	It's loud enough to a live gig
Answer:	For jazz, it works fine but has limited headroom. It'll do loud, but not really loud clean. If that's a problem just mic it and it's fine in the PA.

Question:	One more try, and please read the question. the bj models before the bj iv had horrible, non linear volume controls, is the iv fixed? is it linear
Answer:	The iv fixed it.
Question:	Where is this amp made - thanks
Answer:	This amp sounds great even though it's made in Mexico. The speakers are Fender (Jensen) Made in USA. It's loud as hell.
Question:	besides 4 the stock speaker does it have an extra speaker out 4 to make it a mini like stack
Answer:	It has two speaker outs. The primary tap is at 8 ohms. When you plug into it and the second tap, the transformer's 4 ohm tap is used. This means you can either (1) run the amp alone on the internal 8 ohm speaker, or (2) run it with the internal speaker and an external 8 ohm running at the same time (in parallel), or (3) unplug the internal speaker and use the primary output to drive an 8-ohm external speaker cabinet, or finally (4) use both taps to drive two 8-ohm external speaker cabinets. I've done them all with my 2 14 year old Hot Rod Deluxes.
Question:	Does it have a headphone jack
Answer:	No this amp does not have a headphone jack.
