I must be doing something wromg. I think it is too powerful. If I put the volume on 1, and the guitar volume all the way up, it is already way too loud. Is it really that sensitive?

some one was wondering about how loud it will go.well whats say this it could probly blow the windows out of a house.i can never stand to crank it up all the way.it gets realy loud for a 40 watt amp but to the human ear 100 watts only sounds like double the amount of 10 watts.but i realy love the fender blues deluxe you can realy get any sound you want out of it with the help of a nice pedal.

Whoa. Anyone worried about volume need not worry, PERIOD! This is one loud little amp. It is decidedly “old school” meaning that you’ll have to rely on your guitar’s volume pots to control the drive, tone and volume. Think, “Old School Fender” rather than modern. I’ve been playing Fenders for 30 years. This model is the absolute BEST thing that Fender has released in all that time-owing to the two channel operation, excellent reverb and true Fender tone. I compare it to my Blackfaced Bandmaster in terms of tone and “feel.” With a Tonebone Classic for overdrive on the clean channel it’s a dream rig. Go get one!

THis is my favorite amp. The price is right. The sound is beautiful. I have had a HIWATT head, Marshall heads, an old 65 SHowman, and this amp is still my favorite.
It’s light enough to haul anywhere. It sets up easily and it’s easy to mic up…nice reverb.
I think everyone should have one.
I play it for practice and for shows. It’s perfect for either…

Loud enough? It will cover just about anything short of a large stadium show! It is the loudest 40 watts I’ve ever heard, especially with an extension speaker added. Beautiful, shimmery cleans and a nice edge when cranked. I’m not a fan of the overdrive channel but it does have its place with some songs. I prefer to crank it on the clean channel to get that extra oomph and hit it with an overdrive pedal when I want to get into heavier territory. It’s easy to get a dirty sound but much tougher to find a great clean sound. You can always dirty it up with a good pedal.

I do recommend replacing the tubes with Svetlana 6L6 and Tungsol 12AX7 tubes. They really add to the bloom of the sound. Some like the original tubes, though, so tastes will vary on this.

It will cut through any mix.

i have been looking to buy one of these, and i was wondering if it stands out anough over a acustic drum set. i have a horible fear of trying to play and not being loud anough.

I have an original 1994 Fender Blues Deluxe. I’d be interested in a
review of how the Reissue Version compares to the 1993-1997 Original.

This a great amp, Fender would be my choice every time.
