 Original Fender Tweed Blues Deluxe.
Made in the US. This is a friends amp that I am selling this amp is 98.99% Mint.
This is an Australian 240 Volt amp
This amp is from January 1995 It sounds delicious. It comes with its , Original Fender Cover, and a Fender footswitch this amp is 40 Watts of pure, warm Fender tone. The Fender Blues Deluxe offers classic Fender looks and bluesy sound with useful modern features. For years, the choice of professional musicians has been Fender vintage amplifiers because of their incredibly warm tone and dynamic performance characteristics.
This Amp was bought in 1995 and used every now and then but it always lived at home This Amp is almost as Mint as the day it was built. This Amp is as clean and as Mint as they come, it is truly a Closet Classic. This is definitely a collectors piece............I am asking a fare price for this so if you want this piece of untouched history and if you know your amps, you will know that the Fender Blues Deluxe, USA built amps are the best amp Fender has made since the 50's, the new Mexican built re-issues just dont have the same tone or sound that these had, these are becoming harder to find especially well kept ones as whoever is lucky enough to own one and uses it wont part with it, this one as you can see has hardly been used and the cash is now needed elsewhere
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.
Word on the vintage gear market is that these USA built blues deluxe amps are the sleeper amps that are becoming the next big collectible as it was the first Fender "reissue" that they got right, these 1990's Deluxe amps were built in the USA not Mexico like the new re-issues, and you can definitely tell the difference, they are in my opinion the best amp Fender has built since the 50's.

........Thanks and please check out my other auctions.

Here is some info from the web 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 continue to request the warm tone, unique circuitry, features and look of the original versions. These 'Reissue' models will be offered in addition to the Hot Rods. The Blues Deluxe Reissue produces 40 watts into a single 12" Special Design speaker by Eminence.
