FENDER BLUES DELUXE AMP 1994-TWEED-USA BUILT GOOD CON

Here is some info on this great amp

In 1993, Fender released the 'Tweed' series amps to great success and acclaim. The concept: what if a great old collectible 1950s Deluxe or Bassman was customized with channel switching and Reverb The Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were launched as vintage-styled tube amps with 'boutique' tone at mass-produced prices, and many pro players in the rock, country, and blues fields used them with great results. After a few years, the Blues Deluxe and Blues DeVille were reborn as the Hot Rod Deluxe and Hot Rod DeVille, when they received modified circuitry, a third -More Drive channel, and Black/Silver cosmetic treatment. Though the Hot Rod series amps are more popular than ever today, increasing numbers of enthusiasts, and purists continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, features and look of the original versions. These amps re so sought after these day's that Fender has built a 'Reissue' model (which are built in Mexico now and not the USA and are therefore inferior in every way) which will be offered in addition to the Hot Rods. The Blues Deluxe produces 40 watts into a single 12" Special Design speaker by Eminence.  These are by far the best amp that Fender has built since the 50's.

Features:
3 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 6L6 output tubes.

Normal and Drive channels, voiced for classic blues, country and rock styles

Bright switch for Normal channel

Due to the channel switching possibilities in this amplifier, the Fender Blues Deluxe is really two vintage amps in one. The "NORMAL" channel is based on the original tweed BASSMAN circuit of the late 1950's and is capable of delivering every performance characteristic you would expect of that type of amplifier. Even the "Bright" inputs of the BASSMAN have been accommodated by incorporating a bright switch that adds the familiar vintage "sparkle".

The "DRIVE" channel shares the same tone controls as the NORMAL channel but has separate "Drive" and "Master" controls. Using the "Drive" control, the overdrive sound of this channel can be set anywhere from clean and almost identical to the "NORMAL" channel to the sweet, singing, "on ten" BASSMAN sound. The "Master" control can then be used to adjust the overall loudness of this tone. The "DRIVE" channel allows you to have gain and sustain without getting evicted from your neighborhood, or it can be used to supply that extra edge for a solo.

The Fender Blues Deluxe features a single 12" vintage re-issue "gold label" speaker.

The Fender Blues Deluxe also provides the lush REVERB typical of the Fender Reverb Unit that is commonly used with BASSMAN amplifiers.

Preamp Out and Power Amp In jacks provide a signal path for an endless supply of effects devices. Further, using the Preamp Out Jack the Fender Blues Deluxe's preamp signal can be sent to an additional guitar power amp, mixing console, etc. Note that if you wish to silence the power amp in the Fender Blues Deluxe while doing this, you need to insert a shorting plug into the Power Amp In jack. Also, the Fender Blues Deluxe's power amp can be used by another preamp by sending a signal from that preamp to the Fender Blues Deluxe's Power Amp In jack.

The 40 Watt tube power amplifier is derived from the BASSMAN and uses a 12AX7A driver for that renowned vintage "soft clip" when the power amplifier is overdriven.

The Fender Blues Deluxe consists of a rear-loaded chrome chassis, "Oxblood" grille cloth over the speaker baffle and a cabinet covered in real vintage tweed. Real tweed is used because it's tough and it stands up to travel on the road, just like the amps themselves.

The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of quality performance and a wide range of musical sounds. The built-in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over four decades of dedication and the combined research and development skills of musicians and engineers.

DATING CONTEMPORARY FENDER AMPLIFIERS
All Fender amplifiers manufactured from 1990 to the present include a date code, printed on the quality assurance (QA) sticker on the back of the amp chassis. This black-and-silver sticker contains several lines for "sign-offs" on completion of sound and electrical testing. The final line contains a date code of two printed or handwritten letters denoting the amplifier's production date by year (the first letter) and month (the second letter).  This Amp is an EJ which is 1994 OCT
Quality Assurance stickers were used in Pre-MIM AMPs, and allowed users to determine the month and year their amp was manufactured.
