Fender Deluxe Reverb
A 22-watt Fender combo with a single 12-inch speaker, revered for its sweet breakup at manageable volumes. The Deluxe Reverb is the Goldilocks Fender -- louder and fuller than a Princeton but still breaks up beautifully unlike the ultra-clean Twin. A studio and club standard for decades.
