Howdy folks

I have a good offer on the Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb and was wondering if an owner (or previous owner) can help me with a few questions regarding the suitability for use in an apartment. I already have a Blues Junior, and it's one loud small amp. It doesn't break up that easy though, even though its got the master volume.

From what I recall years ago the 65 is a good amp for cleans but you can't really crank it up without having it really loud given the absence of a master vol.

Your thoughts, options and recommendations are highly appreciated folks.

BTW , I play a lot of clean blues, but I still need the overdrive option.

Cheers
HNS

It's a mighty loud twenty-two watts!

Your blackface needs might be better served with a Princeton Reverb.

I live in an apartment block. I can keep my DRRI on 3 w/o complaints. I can get both clean & very slight breakup @ that volume. I could possibly get away w/4, but any louder, forget about it.

Thanks a million mojjett ... I'm sure it's a great amp, but it would be underplayed in my case unfortunately, but its still a sweet deal :lol:
