Vintage Modified Amplifiers
Fender tube amps are considered the most treasured guitar
amplifiers of all time, and popular models like the Showman®
and Band-Master™, the first professional tube heads on the
market, are collectors’ items today.
The Band-Master VM amplifier takes the desirable mid-
powered tube head concept to “Vintage Modified”
performance by combining a real tube amp with a
complement of essential effects. The 40-Watt tube platform
provides a foundation of great tone to build on, and the
versatile tube preamp offers a wide range of tone & gain
settings from subtle to aggressive. An all-new high quality
DSP platform adds Reverb, Chorus/Vibrato, and Delay effects
with the convenience and “tweakability” of standard stomp
boxes, without the need for extra cables or power supplies.
The Band-Master VM amp (combined with its companion
212VM enclosure) is the perfect head + cabinet rig for onstage
versatility and great Fender tone.
Fender tube combos are considered the most treasured
guitar amplifiers of all time, and popular models like the
Deluxe Reverb® and Hot Rod Deluxe™ are easily as desirable
now as when they were first introduced. Countless guitarists
reach for some version of a Fender Deluxe amp when they
do a session or a gig, thanks to its perfectly-sized 1-12 combo
portability, ease of use, and great tone.
The Deluxe VM amplifier takes the sought-after Deluxe
formula into a new era of “Vintage Modified” performance by
combining a real tube amp with a complement of essential
effects. The 40-Watt tube platform provides a foundation
of great tone to build on, and the versatile tube preamp
offers a wide range of tone & gain settings from subtle to
aggressive. An all-new high quality DSP platform adds Reverb,
Chorus/Vibrato, and Delay effects with the convenience and
“tweakability” of standard stomp boxes, without the need for
extra cables or power supplies.
The Deluxe VM amp is the perfect grab-and-go rig for club
dates, weekend jams…any situation that calls for a portable,
easy to use, great sounding combo.
