Fender 1985 Deluxe Reverb II Rivera Era 1x12 Combo Excellent

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This 1985 Fender Deluxe Reverb II from the sought-after Rivera era is a versatile, USA-made 1x12 combo that blends classic Fender clean tone with a more modern, gain-capable voice. Designed during Paul Rivera’s influential tenure at Fender, these amps added channel switching and increased flexibility while maintaining the musical feel and dynamic response players expect from a great tube combo. 

The clean channel delivers the sparkling highs, tight low end, and open midrange that make Fender amps such incredible pedal platforms. Switch over to the gain channel and you’ll find thicker, more driven tones that move beyond traditional blackface territory into richer, more saturated sounds.. 

This example runs strong and it is really, really clean too.  It is all original throughout.  We cleaned the pots and tube sockets and tested all the tubes. 

Rivera-era Fender amps have developed a loyal following thanks to their flexibility and build quality, and the Deluxe Reverb II sits right in the sweet spot of power, portability, and tonal range.

As with all amplifiers at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally evaluated to ensure dependable performance.

We buy, sell, and take trades.

Shipping Policy
By completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy. Shipments require signature on delivery, no exceptions. Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely. If there is damage, retain all packing materials intact, photograph them immediately, and send the photos to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.

Amplifiers: We take additional precautions to prevent common shipping damage. Depending on the amp, this may include removing tubes, pulling the chassis from the cabinet if heavy transformers present a drop risk, or removing heavy speakers that could crack baffles in transit. Reassembly is required on delivery — we label everything clearly. These measures add to shipping costs but reflect hard-won experience. All amps are tested in our shop upon intake and again before shipping. We cover shipping damage but cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in instruments that are 20 to 50-plus years old.
