- In this episode I review the Fender Blues Deluxe combo. It's a great medium amp, with a very versatile tone.
This Fender Blues Deluxe is part of the limited edition series so it has a different speaker and finishing. It sounds a little different from a regular Fender Blues Deluxe.

Truth be told, you're a KILLER player. All your chops are so good that we pro's can't help but light up, turn on the black lights and Lava Lamps and get into the posters. That coming from someone like me is ranking you as a damn good blues rock guitar player.
Thanks a lot
best demo of this amp on the net
thanks
Excellent instructional/educational/informative video my friend!
Thank you so much
This why I love your channel. Listening to your thoughts on an amp I don't own helped me figure out the amp I do own. Cheers Brother!
Thanks. It actually does the same to me. Because of the channel i force myself to explore a lot more than I would
Hey man I’ve had my Blues Deluxe Western Noir for a little under a year now and have found it a bit challenging to understand the EQ and you just helped me immensely. I’ve always cranked the bass on all my amps and this was no different so thank you for clearing up some misconceptions I’ve had about these amps. Thank you so much. I’ll be sure to check out more of your content
Hey! Great! I’m happy it helped.
This is a great review! So very informative. I have the Blues Deluxe and have put an Eminence Swamp Thang in it. I eq'd it with the same ratio as you, but thought I was crazy for having the bass so low. Now I understand why. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
Thanks for your support. The bass control is key to the amps behavior and feel!
Budda, your explanation of how the EQ works on this amp is priceless! Fender should include a link to your video in its promotional material and flyers for this amp. I struggled getting a good sound on this amp for a year, and hated it. But after watching this video, I set the bass level to 0 and the treble level to about 6, and mid range and presence level to about 4. This is on the clean channel. On the drive channel, I just add a little bit bass. Super great sound, really happy with it. You are right, this is a great amp but too many people don't know how to set the EQ, usually setting bass at 7 and treble at 4. When you turn the volume up, the sound is awful. I have the western noir limited edition too. I did, however, make two changes to the amp. I put a Jensen P12N in it, and changed the first tube to a 12AT7 to tame the loudness. I feel the 12AX7 is just too much. Now I can use it at home for practicing. Thanks again, brother! I hope one day to visit Portugal!
I’m really happy it helped. Thanks for sharing
I bought the Fender Blues Deluxe Limited Edition...it's a great amp and I'm loving its clean channel with Origin Revival Drive Compact and Cali76 compressor et al.
It’s a great amp
Great feel in the guitar playing. Rock on...
Thanks a lot
helluva player
I always played mine with all the eq at 5.. thought was the way to go, special because I use a pedalboard..
👌👌
fantastic playin
i love it when you strum play sounds wicked very srv john mayer
thankyou man
thanks a lot
Yeah you definitely have the sweet spot dialed in there Budda........great video, great playing as well
Thanks a lot
Ótimo review. Tenho um Blues deluxe tweed que comprei à cerca de 3 anos e tem sido um prazer tocar. Tem um som limpo fantástico com bastante headroom e bastante "aveludado". Contudo como não tenho tantas Gigs, fica parado durante muito tempo. Quando olho para ele penso em vender, mas quando toco arrempendo-me só de pensar nisso. Amp fantástico com boa dinâmica e definição. Obrigado pelo review.
É um amp fantástico sem dúvida!! Obrigado pelo comentário e aproveita o amp. Os instrumentos só se compram, não se vendem!! Eh! Eh!
@@BuddaGuedes quantas caves já tens cheias que amplificadores pedais e guitarras?😁 O que tenho, por enquanto já ocupa três prateleiras e uma parede de um quarto. Sei que também rentabilizas o teu material no estúdio, mas nunca pensas-te "já tenho que chegue para o resto da vida"?
and what a great tone
i think im gonna get try one of those amps today
cheers once again
let me know when you try it!
Great playing and demo!
Thanks
I have a 1993 ..I chopped up into a head ( long story ) I just got it back from my cousin after 12 years …so…I put a 5751 in v1 …left the 12ax7 in V2…and put a 12au7 inV3….Just use the clean channel and dime it…not the EQ but volume….It’s Glorious!!!! I never liked the OD channel…✌🏻❤
Thanks for sharing
put a les paul into that drive channel . Magic
🤘🏻
great, great tone/amp. Thanks, Budda.
You’re welcome
I have the same amp - and it has a better speaker than the regular blues deluxe
It’s a great amp!!
I was told by the music store owner that the only difference between this amp and a regular blues deluxe is the tolex.
I don’t think só. I think the speaker here is a celestion and on the normal tweed it’s an Eminence.
@@BuddaGuedes oh yeah ....could be...tjats just what the guy at the shop told me
Budda Guedes yes that’s right
Celestion G12 65 Heritage
Good speaker
Great review. Only thing it was missing was a Les Paul for reference. Loved it anyway.
Great remembered. I’ll try to make one with Humbuckers
I was looking at this same model amp at local music shop this past winter. I debated buyimg it for awhile and I didnt end up buying it. Ive wished I had ever since.
When in doubt, buy it!!! Eh! Eh!
Yeah. But these amps are very common. So just go buy one now. If you want the limited edition just get a regular deluxe and change out the speaker. The tolex on this one has nothing to do with the sound.
Blues deluxe citcuit have nothing in common with a bassman at all, is more similar to a blues junior actually, blues deluxe have no cathode follower tone stack lika a bassman for instance, have way smaller transformers and cascade gain stage,is like a blues junior with a drive control that is introduced on the drive option to have less signal to ground on the clean option but is actually the same clean channel so no 2 channel amp, even the phase inverter is different , sound nothing like a bassman
To my ears it’s more like a Bassman than a Blackface
Hi Budda ! Great demo ! What do you think about the presence control on this amp ? Most of Time i finally turn it down when i using od pedals in font …
The presence is usefull when in a band context. If you need to be more PRESENT in the mic
So this is the Blues Deluxe... how much more headroom does the HotRod Deluxe have? I really want an amp that will scream in the "Normal" mode and then take a Big Muff for my distortion. I use my pedals for my distortion, and need a super bright normal channel that pushes the amp just below the point of breakup. I'm a telecaster player if that helps identify my 'tone'.
This is a great one but I belong the Hot rod has more headroom. I would choose this any how
Hi Budda
could you tell me is there much difference between this amp and an ordinary mark for blues deluxe with an eminance or jenson speaker
listening to this one it sounds great
do you recomend the others or is this amp clearly the Daddy
thanks man
There's a difference but the Blues Deluxe is a Killer amp indeed. The tweed (normal version) is also a killer amp!!!
tnx for great review man
You’re welcome
What model strat are you playing in this episode?
It’s a Mexican classic player with Texas special
Hi friend great review!!!
What settings would you suggest for a fender blues deluxe reissue tweed model???
It would depend completely on the result you’re interested
@@BuddaGuedes true how about just some general eq for anything? Country Rock style?
It’s not that simple, but take all the eq off and raise one at a time to understand where it’s boosting.
Generally country would be scooped, busboy will all depend on your taste. Try it all at middle
@@BuddaGuedes nice!!! I’ll try that , thanks man, actually fooling around with it this week I’ve stumbled across Greg Koch’s bassman settings on it and it’s sounds great this past week, presence and middle maxed , no bass or treble with a lion tamer and volume about dimed, It actually sounds good 😆
And loud too!! Eh! Eh!
What mics are you using on the amp here?
I don’t remember but probably the Beyerdynamic m160 and a 57
Great review... I have the tweed blues deluxe reissue... is the difference the speaker? Like the look of the tweed and it sounds great but is it worth swapping out the speaker?
I think that's the only difference but I'm also trying to figure it out. The reverb on this one sounds better than what I remember a regular Blues Deluxe did, but I haven't played one for a long time so I might be wrong!!
But from what I remember the Blues Deluxe is a killer amp too.
Budda Guedes love your stuff... I know you’ve looked at AC30’s; I have one; maybe you could do a review on why they are so loud when they only put out about 30 watts!
I tried the regular and the western noir version, which I ended up purchasing. It has a different speaker - the Celestion Heritage G12-65. It sounded better to me at least.
cool amp! .. well, for me I love putting bass on my tone and also when it fuzzes out for a power solo situation its great .. do you recommend this one better than a blues jr 111 or IV? for gigging
That’s a hard one to answer. The blues jr is smaller but has less headroom. The Blues Deluxe is heavier but is a very loud amp.
Só the choice would depend on how much headroom you’ll need.
@@BuddaGuedes yeah.. so if I need more Clean headroom before it cranks up I thing this blues deluxe will be a better option correct? its this a 40watt amp output¡? cause the blues jr is like 15 watts I guess
That’s correct.
Hi Bud, is it a reverb tank in the amp?
I’m not sure!!!
Yes, spring reverb tank
👌👌👌
Maneiro cara!!
Isn't the "volume" cranking the pre amp and the "master" the power amp?
In this amp, the master only affects the drive channel. Só the volume pot is for the master on the clean channel
Gimme your bank account number because you've just sold me one. Great review, as always.
Yeah !!! It’s a great little beast!!

Lol
The BUGERA V22 sound better for 3 time less expensive. I tried the 2. The sound spectrum is wider on the bugera, among others ...Save your money. The logo fender is very expensive.
It is what it is!!! There are hundreds of good sounding amps. The Fender logo also gives you more return if you want to sell the amp second hand.
we do not buy an amp to sell it.
I hope not. But if people didn’t sell used gear there would be no eBay, Reverb, Craig’s list, etc.
I’m not saying you should buy a fender. I’m just saying it holds its value through time. And that’s something to keep in mind.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
bugera sucks.
Just sold my Bugera v22 to buy a Blues Deluxe. I've had the bugera for 3 years, playing it stereo with a vox ac15 quite a lot. It sounded good, I like the v22, but had the chance to play through a Blues Deluxe with Eminence Cannabis Rex 12 and it just killed the Bugera.
