Just picked this up today from deepest Colchester. Looks like Katy was in town as well.

    Lovely! Looks ace, unlike the pink Evoque..... which looks shit in all colours but somehow even shitter in pink :)

    My head said brake, but my heart cried never.

    Agreed. Amp looks great. Why on earth would anyone drive around in a sex toy pink car?

    Delux Reverbs are truly great amps. I had a ‘73 for quite a few years. It was blackfaced by Brindsley Schwartz and sounded really sweet. Ended up doing a bunch of gigs that needed more headroom and I stupidly sold it. Don’t think I’ve ever quite got back to that reactive, goldilocks sound, when the situation allowed it to be set just right (which was a lot of the time tbh!)
    Even with some VERY nice amps on the way. Enjoy!!!

    Thanks - it does sound really sweet. I say a touch more mids than my old late 60s Vibrolux that l sold during hard times. 

    My next door neighbour is an amp freak, electronic engineer and runs a studio. It’s incredibly convenient! The Deluxe has the classic Fender vibrato issue… tick tick tick tick. But he says it is usually fixed by dressing some wiring and putting a capacitor across the opto bulb.

    Lucky find - you don't see many of those just dumped in the road.

    I've a 78 super reverb that I picked up a year or so ago... Great amps, and whilst I can't speak for the deluxe, I was amazed at a les paul through the super. Great score and enjoy!
    Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life
