Faithfully Recreate Iconic Tube Amp Tone and Reverb With Advanced AMPWORX Modeling

At the heart of the Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 is AMPWORX, TC Electronic's acclaimed modeling technology that precisely replicates every component in the amp's original circuitry. From the tube saturation to the transformer warmth, it's all accounted for. The result is the most realistic digital recreation of the 1965 Blackface Reverb Deluxe available. With its crystal-clear clean channel and smooth overdrive from the normal channel, you get this legendary amp's highly-coveted tone. And the classic spring reverb is recreated in exacting detail using the original tank's impulse response—instantly recognizable and beautifully musical.

Shape Your Sound With Independent Channel and Reverb Controls

The Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 gives you versatile tone-shaping options. The normal and vibrato channels each have dedicated volume, treble, middle and bass controls so you can dial in the perfect clean or overdriven sound. The reverb control lets you add just the right amount of ambience, from a subtle sheen to lush, immersive wash. And the bright switch accentuates the high end for added clarity and cut. Whether you need sparkling cleans, sweet overdrive or ambient swirls of reverb, the Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 puts iconic tube amp tone at your fingertips.

Get Studio-Ready Tones With the Optional Cab Sim

In addition to the authentic amp and reverb modeling, the Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 includes an optional cabinet simulation capturing the 1x12 Celestion G12M Creamback speaker from the original amp. Engage the cab sim and you have a studio-ready signal, perfect for recording direct or headphone monitoring. The detailed IR captures the exact resonance and spaciousness of the cab. Just plug straight into your interface or mixer for huge tube amp tones, even at lower volumes. It's like having a mic'd up vintage amp right in the room.

Practice Silently With the Dedicated Headphone Output

The Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 includes a dedicated headphone output for silent practice sessions. Just plug in your headphones and you can experience the inspiring tube amp tones and lush reverb without disturbing others. It's great for late night practicing or rehearsing before a gig. The headphone out also lets you track guitars silently into your DAW. With its authentic tone and flexible connectivity, the Ampworx Combo Deluxe 65 makes an inspiring addition to your pedalboard.
