TC Electronic Combo Deluxe 65' Preamp Eelvõimend / Riiulile monteeritav võimendi

1965 Blackface Deluxe Reverb Tone in a Pedal

The TC Electronic Combo Deluxe 65' Preamp recreates the legendary clean headroom and spring reverb of the 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb in a compact pedal format. As part of the AmpWorx Vintage Series, this twin-channel preamp uses component-level circuit modeling to capture every nuance of the original blackface circuit. Guitarists who want authentic vintage Fender tones without hauling a heavy tube combo will find their solution here.

GIBBS Spring Reverb IR and Celestion Creamback Cabinet Simulation

TC Electronic captured a 4-second impulse response from the original GIBBS dual-spring reverb tank used in the 1965 Deluxe, and paired it with a zero-latency convolution engine. The cabinet simulation is based on the official Celestion Creamback speaker impulse response—the same driver that gives classic Fender combos their sound.

Twin-Channel Gain Structure and 3-Band EQ

Move between pristine clean and pushed overdrive with two footswitchable channels. The green channel delivers the sparkling clean sound the Deluxe Reverb is known for, while the red channel offers more gain and bite for dynamic playing.

• Gain and Level: independent controls — dial in the right overdrive and volume for each channel
• Shape your tone with the 3-band EQ that mimics the original amp's interactive tone stack.
• Bright Switch: top-panel toggle — adds high-frequency presence, perfect for cutting through a busy mix

Authentic Spring Reverb with Tone Shaping and Three Output Paths

The built-in reverb is sourced from the actual GIBBS tank, captured as a convolution impulse. A dedicated Reverb Tone knob lets you darken or brighten the decay to match your style.

• DI Output (6.3 mm TS): includes cab simulation — connect straight to PA or an audio interface for recording
• Main Output (6.3 mm TS): no cab simulation — ideal for plugging into amplifier FX returns
• Headphone Output (3.5 mm TRS): includes cab simulation — practice in silence whenever needed

Pedalboard-Friendly Power and Connectivity

At approximately 227 g and powered by 9 V DC at 300 mA, the Combo Deluxe 65' slots easily onto your pedalboard. The 6.3 mm TS input accepts external pedals, so overdrive and boost pedals in front of the preamp interact naturally with its gain stage.

• USB Connection: firmware updates keep your pedal current
• To activate bypass mode, hold both the Reverb and Channel buttons at once.

Gigging Guitarists, Home Recordists, and Vintage Tone Chasers

This model is the right choice for players needing classic Fender blackface character in a pedalboard-friendly box. Jazz musicians benefit from the clean headroom and rich reverb for trio settings, while blues and country artists appreciate the lightweight alternative to a vintage tube combo. Home studios can record direct via the DI output, eliminating the hassle of miking amps or using isolation cabinets.

TC Electronic AmpWorx Vintage Series

The Combo Deluxe 65' is part of TC Electronic's AmpWorx Vintage Series—a collection of single-amp modeler pedals dedicated to precise recreations of iconic amplifiers. Instead of a multi-amp processor, the engineers focused on circuit accuracy by analyzing every detail of the original 1965 Deluxe Reverb to deliver an authentic playing experience.
