I'm selling my Fender85 Deluxe amp. Shows signs of use (a few scratches etc.) but in full working condition. I’ve had it for over a decade but nowadays I’m almost exclusively playing acoustic guitar and have no need for it. It’s an 85 Watt solid state amp with a 12" speaker. 85 watts = plenty of volume: when cranked up, the amp really is loud - I have used it both for practices and gigs and found its output excellent for both. It has two channels: one clean, one with distortion, EQ and reverb. Nice warm sound for a solid-state, and the EQ allows for as many variations on it as you fancy (see pics for close-ups of all dials). The distortion is beautifully scratchy (think trashy, messy, i.e. early Radiohead – Jonny Greenwood a big fan of the Fender solid states). It’s not a super-heavy distortion, though, so would need to be combined with stomp boxes for any metal heads. The input jacks are a little loose. Occasionally the lead needs a little wobble when first put in but it always works. This has never bothered me, but it’s something that a guitar shop could fix easily. The amp is without the accompanying footswitch (it had been lost). The switch was for changing between the channels. If you get the sound you want out of your pedals, then this isn’t really an issue. I used to get a nice, clean sound and then used my stompboxes read more
