This is a fabulous amp, has the right tubes, cool digital effects and typical Fender build know how. In fact it would be almost the perfect 40 watt Fender amp if it wasn’t for the dumb idea of wiring the chorus and delay on the same circuit…so when you turn one of them on it turns the other one off…doh! Fortunately there is an effects loop for pedals…but even so…that should not be necessary when both effects are already on board.
This one is in good used condition and with the essential footswitch. A mega versatile amp for practice and gigs.
I can arrange meets between Byron and Brisbane. Shipping elsewhere not a problem.
Here’s the official blurb….
Fender Deluxe VM (Vintage Modified) Tube Amplifier (Type PR 772) is a 40-watt hybrid guitar combo amplifier manufactured by Fender between 2009 and 2012. It stands out for combining a classic, real-vacuum-tube power section with a solid-state preamp and a built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) effects suite. The winning bidder will receive exactly what is pictured.
Core Features:
- Hybrid Architecture: It uses actual tubes for its 40W power amplification stage and overdrive stages, while relying on high-quality digital processing for onboard effects.
- Onboard DSP Effects: Features built-in digital effects including Fender reverb, chorus/vibrato (with rate and depth controls), and a tape-emulation delay (with time and repeat controls).
- Independent EQ Layout: The Clean channel features Volume, Treble, and Bass. The Drive channel features dedicated Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle, and Bass adjustments.
- Included Accessories: It originally shipped with a specialized 4-button footswitch that allows players to toggle Drive, Reverb, Delay, and Chorus independently.
Tonal Profile and Usage:
- The Clean Channel: Delivers the classic, high-headroom, crisp "Blackface" Fender clean sound that handles external pedals well.
- The Drive Channel: Moves from a subtle, bluesy crunch to more aggressive, modern overdrive distortion.
- Gigging Convenience: Weighing 40 lbs. it is considerably lighter than many traditional all-tube 40W amplifiers. This makes it a popular "grab-and-go" combo for gigging guitarists who want built-in effects without hauling an entire pedalboard.
Technical Specifications:
- Power Output: 40 Watts
- Speaker: 1 x 12" Celestion G12P-80 (8 Ohms)
- Tube Complement: 2 x 12AX7 (preamp/drive stages) and 2 x 6L6 (power stage)
- Channels: Two channels—Clean and Drive
