Background behind the build

As my first ever amp build, I decided to go with the Fender Deluxe Reverb. The Deluxe Reverb is one of the most famous amps of all time. It offers a wide spectrum of sounds from heavenly cleans to beautiful tube breakup. It also has a two tube reverb circuit and a roach powered tremolo. Why this amp over the dozens of other Fender amps on the amp market? I chose this amp for a few reasons:

• Clean, high headroom amp that is playable at basement levels
• tube reverb circuit
• Amps like this have been played by some of my favorite players

For more information on the background behind this build, along with what some of the confusing terminology I used means, check out my blog post on this topic.

Information about the kit purchased

As this was my first amp build ever, I decided to go with a kit build instead of having to source all of the parts myself. I chose to go with this kit from Mojotone, an amp supply store out of North Carolina. On my blog post on this topic, I will do a full run through on my thoughts on this kit including ease of build, quality of components, and tech support. Check out my blog post here.

Information about/difficulties with the build

This amp follows a fender AB763 schematic with standard reverb and roach powered tremolo. A brief description, along with detailed gut shots from the amp, will be available on my blog post on this topic. I did have one major difficulty when building this amp, and that is with the tremolo effect. Again, I will go more in-depth on my troubleshooting process in my blog post on this topic.

Final thoughts/completed amp pictures

Overall, not too hard of a build. Had a few difficulties, but I was easily able to troubleshoot them. I love the sound of this amp and it is the amp that I most use when playing out due to its volume and ease of transportation. You can find my elongated final thoughts, along with some pictures of the finished amp, on my blog post on this topic.
