What is included with the amplifier?
The amplifier comes with a two-button vintage footswitch for controlling the reverb and tremolo effects, and a fitted protective cover.
What type of speaker does it have?
It is equipped with a single 12-inch Jensen C-12Q speaker.
Is the amplifier valve (tube) powered?
Yes, it is an all-tube amplifier. The preamp uses 3 x 12AX7 and 2 x 12AT7 tubes, the power section uses 2 x 6V6 tubes, and it has a 5AR4 rectifier tube.
How many channels does it have and what are the controls?
It has two channels: Normal and Bright. Each channel has its own Volume, Treble, and Bass controls. Shared controls for the tube-driven spring reverb and vibrato (tremolo) with Speed and Intensity knobs are also present.
What is the cabinet made from?
The cabinet is constructed from solid pine, which is chosen for its resonant qualities and lighter weight compared to some other woods.
What does 'hand-wired' or 'point-to-point' construction mean?
Hand-wired or point-to-point construction refers to a method where individual components are connected directly by wires and soldered to terminal points, rather than using a printed circuit board (PCB). This traditional method is often associated with easier repair, modifiability, and is believed by many to offer superior tone and durability.
Is this amplifier suitable for use with guitar pedals?
Yes, the '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb is famously pedal-friendly. Its clear, responsive clean tone provides an excellent foundation for overdrive, distortion, modulation, and other effects pedals.
