At the root is, of course, the AB763 blackface circuit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat are these improvements?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1) One thing you'll notice is the addition of a \"MIDDLE\" tone control on Channel 2. This, of course, was not on the original Deluxe Reverb. So, why did Vintage Sound decide to add it in? Well, first of all, it absolutely does nothing to hurt the integrity of the circuit or tone. The original Fender circuit actually had a fixed \"MIDDLE\" that was set permanently at 6.8k. Vintage Sound removed this resistor from the circuit and replaced it with a much more versatile 10k potentiometer. The result is you now have the ability to adjust this frequency range without compromising the original tone. If you want it to sound precisely like a 65 Deluxe Reverb, just turn the pot to around 6-7 and you're there. You want to scoop the mids a touch, pull back. Warn the tone a bit, turn up. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2) Also included is a very nifty reverb dwell control which is on the rear of the chassis. Obviously, this too was omitted on the original circuit, but it comes in quite handy for adjusting the amount of decay the reverb has. Nice!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3) Another smart alteration is the incorporation of a Diaz based tremolo mod that Vintage Sound does. This accomplishes a few things... You'll notice the Vibrato has the ability to be slower than stock Fenders. The vibrato being too fast was always a complaint people had with vintage Fender Deluxes (and still do to this day). The other advantage this gives is when you turn the dial all the way down, you switch off the vibrato circuit, bypassing it and leaving you with a cleaner, more pure signal. The result is a slightly more present tone, and a bit of a bump in volume. Furthermore, with the older Deluxe Reverbs, you can hear a \"ticking\" sound with the vibrato. This is caused by several design flaws in the original circuit allowing the LFO signal to leak into the audio path. These issues have been addressed with better routing of the wires, superior components, and filtering of the oscillator output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo, what do you end up with?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA truly amazing sounding Deluxe Reverb that's truly better than an original with nothing modified in a way that disrupts the original tone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#339966\" style=\"color: rgb(51, 153, 102);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWattage: 22 watts\u003cbr\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e 4 x 12AX7, 2 X 12AT7\u003cbr\u003ePower Tubes: 2 x 6V6 \u003ci\u003e(optional 2x6L6)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eRectifier: 1 x 5AR4 \u003cbr\u003eFront Controls: Channel 1: Volume, Treble, Bass\u003cbr\u003eChannel 2: Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Speed, Intensity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eRear Controls: Dwell (Very cool custom feature for controlling the reverb decay time!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eEffects: \u003cb\u003eTube Driven Spring Reverb, Tube Vibrato\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eSpeaker: WGS \u003cspan\u003eG12C-S\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eInputs: 2 Inputs\u003cbr\u003eAuxiliary Input: RCA Footswitch Jack\u003cbr\u003eExtension Speaker Jack: External Speaker Jack\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eCircuit Construction: \u003cb\u003eAll Point-to-Point, Hand-wired\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabinet Construction: Dove-tail jointed solid pine w\/Baltic Birch Plywood baffle and back panels\u003cbr\u003ePilot Light: Blue Amp Jewel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: rgb(17, 34, 68); font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eCombo Dimensions: 17.5\" High x 24.5\" Wide x 9 1\/2\" Deep (50 lbs)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptional Accessories: Two Button Footswitch, Padded Cover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327971963064,"sku":"VSVIN22BKAGSLV","price":2495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/files\/vintage-sound-vintage-22-in-black-w-aged-silver-grill.jpg?v=1720036924","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/vintage-sound-vintage-22-combo-amp-black-aged-silver","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
