Fender Deluxe Reverb
The Fender Deluxe Reverb is an extremely popular amp. It can be found on just about every stage in the world. In its inception it was seen as more of a recording or practicing amp due to its size and wattage, today however it viewed as one of the best all-around amps. Its plenty loud for a medium sized club gig and when paired with a good PA it can handle even stadium stages. It has 22 watts of tube power meaning at reasonable volumes you can render nice tube compression and saturation. It comes equipped with reverb and tremolo. Coming in at a manageable 43 lbs. this little guy makes load in easy.
