1970 Fender Deluxe Reverb "Silverface" – Vintage Hand-Wired Tone

Experience the legendary sound that defined an era. This 1970 Fender Deluxe Reverb is a prime example of the "Silverface" transition period, retaining the hand-wired craftsmanship that vintage purists crave. Renowned for its crystalline cleans and the "to die for" spring reverb that only a vintage Fender can deliver, this amp is the ultimate workhorse for the studio and the stage.

At 22 watts, it hits the sweet spot of being portable enough for any gig while providing enough headroom to cut through a mix. This is more than just an amplifier; it’s a piece of music history that has been preserved in very good cosmetic condition.

Product Highlights

• Vintage Soul: Authentic 1970 model featuring hand-wired circuitry.
• Iconic Reverb & Vibrato: Lush, deep, and unmistakable Fender tube-driven effects.
• Gig-Ready Portability: The perfect weight-to-power ratio for the working musician.
• Well-Preserved: Appears completely original with the exception of a replaced speaker (for improved reliability) and two non-original back-panel screws.

Condition & Collector's Note

This amplifier is 55+ years old and has been remarkably well-maintained. It is fully functional and sounds incredible. As with any vintage tube instrument of this age, we recommend having it inspected by a qualified amp technician upon arrival to ensure it is biased and maintained for peak performance.

When you buy a piece like this, you aren't just buying an amp for today—you’re investing in a legacy. Treat it well, and it will be singing for another 50 years.

Why the 1970 Model?

The 1970 Deluxe Reverb is highly sought after because it bridges the gap between the classic 60s era and the later Silverface years. While the faceplate changed to the aluminum look, the internal architecture remained largely identical to the prized "Blackface" circuits of the late 60s, offering that same warm, harmonically rich breakup at a much more accessible price point.
