In a bold move from Fender, massive digital processing power is used to achieve outstanding sonic performance in the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb Blonde amp: accurately modeling the circuit board and 22-watt power output of an original Deluxe tube amp.
A powerful 100 watt digital amplifier is used to achieve the headroom and dynamics of a true vintage Deluxe tube amp.
The resonant cabinet is combined with a Celestion® NEO Creamback speaker for a more distinct rock 'n' roll feel.
The result is tubeless Deluxe Reverb tone, volume and dynamics that is virtually indistinguishable from the all-tube original.
The amp model has been modified to remove the virtual bright-cap on the Vibrato channel, giving modern players greater tonal flexibility when using distortion and overdrive pedals.
In addition, the reverb control now provides easier fine-tuning at lower settings.
Perhaps most notably, even with all these features and more, the Tone Master Deluxe Reverb is actually only about half the weight of an all-tube Deluxe.
The blonde vinyl cover elegantly evokes the classic Fender vibe of the early 60s, and the front panel features give guitarists a playing experience identical to the tube version, including Fender's worldwide standard for reverb and tremolo effects.
Additional rear features provide modern convenience and flexibility - including a full power selector and five mute settings, balanced XLR line output with impulse response (IR) speaker simulations recorded with Shure SM57 and Sennheiser MD421 microphones, mute button for use on a quiet stage or at recording, USB port for firmware updates and more.
