yo let me be honest w you.. this is one of the absolute best sounding amps I have ever owned. I promised myself I would never sell but tbh I am not using it enough ever since I had kids. It belongs in the world with someone who is going to play TF out of it. If you’re a collector, just don’t buy it. If you’re a player looking for a solid amp that replicates your clean un altered natural tone.. buy this. I never regretted it and I don’t think you will either. Tour with it. Slam some dings into it. Make it yours. Nothing is sacred, this is a beautiful start.
1965 Fender Deluxe
original Oxford 12K5 speaker
Production Run #1 example with the model's earliest features
Pre-CBS Black Panel amp w/ the famed AB763 circuit
early no-logo cabinet
"Fender Elect. Inst. Co." text on the faceplate.
The tremolo has a strong, even pulse as well, with a wide range of speeds.
The circuit is very original
stock Schumacher-made output transformer and choke date to the 47th week of '64.
power transformer is a properly-spec'd USA-made replacement.
The preamp is virtually untouched, with all of the original blue molded Ajax tone caps intact in the preamp. These caps are essential to the rich, musical quality of the Black Panel-era circuits.
The CTS pots are stock with visible date codes from the 2nd week of '65.
power supply has been professionally recapped with Sprague Atoms, and the power cable has been upgraded to a modern three-prong.
new bias pot and bias cap ensure the power tubes see the proper voltage.
The power tubes are a pair of matched Groove Tubes 6V6s, and the tube complement includes a vintage GZ34 rectifier and a host of vintage and modern preamp tubes.
The speaker is the original Oxford 12K5-6 with a black frame and fresh professional recone. The stamp on the edge of the frame dates to the 48th week of '64. The tube chart is intact, noting the Production Run #1 provenance, and retaining an "OC" date code which translates to March of '65.
The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth is intact.
A non-original logo was at one time installed (and subsequently uninstalled) as this baffle is the earliest style of the Black Panel era, designed to be logo-less.
Stock hardware includes the handle caps and chassis straps, and the witch hat knobs on the faceplate are modern replacements.
nothing is sacred. used this as my ‘distortion’ amp. Never let me down. Ever.
