Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb Modifications
$ 119.95
Turn your '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb into a tricked-out Black Panel '65. This kit reworks the '68 Custom into essentially a vintage-spec '65 Deluxe Reverb — recapturing the sparkle, warmth, and incredible dynamic touch of a true Fender Blackface amp instead of a thin shadow of its predecessor.
Which option should I order?
- Supreme — the full transformation (tone stack, signal-path, noise, and 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 instructions.
What the mod does, in detail
Vintage-spec tone stack (both channels) — Upgraded with high-quality WIMA and MLCC caps at modified values to faithfully recreate the tone of a vintage '65 Black Panel Deluxe Reverb.
Reverb & vibrato re-routed — Moves reverb and vibrato off the Custom channel and onto the Vintage channel only, reducing noise.
Signal path & tone caps — Improves the signal path and upgrades the tone caps, with a few key circuit tweaks that make the amp genuinely gig- and studio-ready.
