Fender 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue Modifications
$ 119.95
Make your '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue sound like a real Black Panel Deluxe. The most common complaint about the Reissue is that it's thin and harsh next to a vintage Deluxe Reverb. This kit closes that gap — recreating the sparkle, warmth, and dynamic touch of a Black Panel amp, so you get vintage Fender mojo instead of a mediocre reissue.
Which option should I order?
- Supreme — the full tone transformation (tone stack, signal-path, and key circuit tweaks below). Start here.
- Recap — filter & bypass cap refresh with MOD Filter Caps and top shelf components.
- Have us install — send us your amp and we'll do the whole job (parts + labor).
Most players with basic soldering skills can finish the mods in a couple of hours using our detailed, full-color online instructions.
What the mod does, in detail
Tone stack (both channels) — Upgraded with high-quality WIMA and MLCC caps at modified values to faithfully recreate the tone of a vintage Deluxe Reverb.
Vibrato tick fix — Cures the ticking vibrato these amps are known for.
Signal path & tone caps — Improves the amp's signal path and upgrades the tone caps, with a few key circuit tweaks that make it genuinely gig- and studio-ready.
The result: sparkle, warmth, and the incredible dynamic response of a Fender Black Panel amp instead of a thin shadow of its famous predecessor.
