After using the Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Pedal for a week, I realized that it was having one serious issue. The reverb setting had a random crashing and sometimes pinging noise that kept popping up. It was very distracting and I would be concerned that it would be present if I ever were to play in public using this BOSS Fender Reverb pedal. I read of others having this same problem in online postings and reviews. I took this pedal back and exchanged it for the BOSS Fender '63 Reverb Pedal, which is a clean reverb and has no gain knob or vibrato. The vibrato was a nice option, but I didn't buy a reverb pedal to get that effect. The gain knob on the '65 pedal was probably causing the crashing noise in the reverb. The gain was there for the purpose of getting overdrive sound; the AC4TV produces a great tube overdrive and you do not need to add an overdrive pedal to that set up.
The BOSS Fender '63 Reverb pedal produces a quality, vintage Reverb sound without causing the problems that the '65 pedal is known to bring about. I recommend the '63 pedal for those of you who are looking for a pure reverb sound to add to a Class A Blues type amp. -- Guitar Man
