Ask Zac Episode 17 - Why The Fender Deluxe Reverb Is The Best Guitar Amp Ever Made

April 17, 2020

I first played through a mid 60's Deluxe Reverb amp as a 13-year old in South Texas in 1986. It took me over 24-years of wandering, but I finally came back to the Deluxe Reverb in 2010, and have been happy ever since. In this Ask Zac, I take you on my wandering through the tonal amp desert, that finally got me back to the venerable Deluxe Reverb, and also give some nitty-gritty info on how I set my amps, which tubes I use, and what type of speaker I prefer.

Here is a good description of important vs less important tube slots on Fender amps
