Detail 01
40 watts, tube
Loud enough to keep up with a drummer. Natural breakup arrives late, usually past conversation volume.

FenderBlues Deluxe Reissue 40W 1x12 Combo Amp
1/7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
40-watt tube 1x12 combo in the Fender Blues family. For players who want valve breakup at gigging volume and can carry 45 lb.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-to-mid club gigs where a 1x12 covers the room
- Players who want overdrive from power tube compression, not pedals
- Studio work where a single 12-inch speaker mics cleanly
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Apartment players — 40 tube watts gets loud before it breaks up
- Anyone carrying gear up stairs alone; 45 lb is real weight
- Players wanting built-in modeling or amp presets
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
1x12 speaker
Tighter and more focused than a 4x10. Easier to mic with one microphone, easier to carry.
Detail 03
45 lb
Two-hand carry. Fine for car-to-stage, tiring for public transit or long load-ins.
Detail 04
23-1/2 x 18-3/4 x 10-1/2 inches
Fits a car back seat or trunk. Deep enough that thin gig bags will not work.
Detail 05
Tube (valve) circuit
Tubes wear out and need replacing eventually. Warm-up time before playing, and it runs hot.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No footswitch, cover, or cable is described here — budget for what you need
- 02Tube amps need a bias check when power tubes are replaced
- 03At 40 watts, an attenuator or load box helps for home volume
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this loud enough to gig with?
Yes. 40 tube watts through a 12-inch speaker holds up against a drummer in clubs and small halls without a PA.
02Can I use it at home?
You can play clean at low volume, but the amp's overdrive needs volume. For quiet breakup, add an overdrive pedal or attenuator.
03How does the 1x12 compare to the 4x10 Super Reverb?
The 1x12 is more focused and far lighter. The 4x10 spreads sound wider and has more low-end push, at over twice the price.
04Does it take pedals well?
Fender clean platforms are a standard base for drive and modulation pedals. Set the amp clean and stack from there.
