The '57 Deluxe is proof that vintage Fenders are in short supply, so FENDER®
is graciously releasing this handwired all-valve tone machine that's
great for any style of rock, blues, or country. The pine cabinet is
covered in a genuine lacquered tweed covering with vintage brown/gold
grille cloth. Two 12AX7 preamp valves along with a matched pair of
Groove Tubes GT6V6 output tubes provide the sound we've all grown to
expect from vintage Fender tube amps. Clean or crunchy, no matter what
your style, the Fender '57 Deluxe is the perfect choice.

Handwired all-tube design
Authentic look and classic tone
The '57 Deluxe boasts the classic sound of an original Fender Deluxe
amp of the 1950s, which was a medium-powered amp that found its way
onto countless live and recorded performances. The solid pine cabinet
and 12" Jensen P-12Q speaker - just like the original - contribute to
the '57 Deluxe's resonant, touch-sensitive performance.The original
Tweed Deluxe amp of the 1950s is well known as being one of the finest
tone machines ever devised, and this reissue maintains that tradition.
Handwired all-valve design
Electronically, the '57 Deluxe is equipped with handwired all valve
circuitry on an eyelet board with a late 1950s 5E3 circuit pumping out
about 12 watts of true Fender valve tone. The tube complement consists
of a pair of 12AX7s at the preamp stage with a matched pair of Groove
Tubes GT6V6 output tubes. Tube tweakers and vintage enthusiasts can
swap one of the 12AX7s for a 12AY7 to capture the lower-gain tone of
the original Deluxe from the '50s. Fender also thoughtfully
incorporated a 5Y3 rectifier tube, which contributes to natural tube
compression and "sag" when the amp is pushed harder.
