Fender Deluxe Reverb-AMP Owner's Manual page 8

1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that
was still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a
silver-and-turquoise front panel and classy aluminum "drip
edge" grille cloth trim, the Deluxe Reverb received a fresh
new face as it remained the ideal recording and performing
amp. Small, light and moderately powered, it produced big
tube tone, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects.
For countless guitarists ever since, the Deluxe Reverb has
been the go-to amp for classic Fender sound.
The '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic
look, sound and performance of Fender's late-'60s "silverface"
amps. In a special twist, both channels boast reverb and
tremolo, and the "custom" channel has a modified Bassman®
tone stack that gives modern players greater tonal flexibility
with pedals. The amp also features quicker gain onset and
reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity. The
'68 Custom Deluxe Reverb's single 12" Celestion® G12V-70
speaker also delivers a more distinctively rock 'n' roll flavor.
