Fender Pure Vintage Amplifier Accessory

Finally decided to try these on my 1993 Blues Deluxe Amp after years of contemplating. As it turned out, installation was very easy. Didn't need the included long screws as the exsisting lower side chassis screws worked great and are threaded right to the amp chassis. After the legs were attached I tilted the amp to desired angle and drilled 1/8" pilot holes for the leg stops. I should have done this years ago. Sonically sounds much better and looks very cool too. These are thick heavy chromed steel and look cool retro.

Although they were fairly easy to install, it would be nice if Fender included some type of template based on the amp size to mark off the holes for hardware placement, JMO. I did what most said they did and looked up installment on You Tube. They work great!

These work as expected. As everyone says, it is annoying that there are no instructions and no measurements, and that is why I deducted 1 star. I paid about $35, and true to form, Amazon lowered the price a week later and was selling them for $30 (grrrr.) Of course when I came back later to buy a 2nd set for another amp, they are $37.99! Timing is everything on amazon...What you need to know:- When mounting with the hardware, the order of pieces is: long screw, leg, flatwasher, amplifier side, flat washer, split washer, flatwasher, nylon locknut.- The 2 wood screws and button looking things are the stops.Placement for using these 14" tilt back legs on a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Re-issue (2014):** NOTE if you are putting on any other amp, the measurements will be different !**- Placement and tiltback angle: To achieve approx 30 degree tiltback, I mounted as follows:- The leg (center) bolt I placed 1-3/4" from the back edge, and 5-1/4" from the top edge.This allowed the screw and washers to just clear the backplate support boards (approx 1x1's, mounted about 0.5" in). I read someone else mounted at 1 1/2" in, and I don't see how they could have on a '65 DRRI, unless those supports have moved. The back edge of those is at 1 1/2".- Measure carefully, then double or triple check it before you drill. You want both sides in the exact same location.- BEFORE drilling remove the upper half backplate (4 screws), and the tube closest to the side edge.- I removed the power cord tie down ( 1 screw) as well.. to allow pulling the power cord out of the general area of drilling.- I placed blue painter's tape on both the inside and outside before marking and drilling. This serves two purposes: It allows for easier, more readable marking, and it helps control any splitting on the drill through. Drill slowly, and stick your left hand inside the amp area to catch what little sawdust comes through, the rest should come out the top. (I'm assuming you will turn the amp on its side to drill each side.)- I placed the stops 3-3/4" from the top and 3-3/4" from the back edge. This achieved about 30 degrees of tiltback on my 65 DRRI, or maybe just a little more like 35%. I don't think you want to go back much further than that as you still want that amp pointed out at the audience, not up at the ceiling.UPDATE: I have gigged with this many times since installing these legs. They are really handy for fast setup at jams, and even at gigs where I have more time to set up, I still don't carry an amp stand any more. Really happy with this addition to my DRRI.DISCLAIMER: If you follow my measurements and drill into something, it's because your amp is different than mine and you didn't check before you drilled. So check before you drill. Then, check again. Again, other amps would be different!!HANDY ACCESSORY: for '65 DRRI Owners- if you are tired of needing your footswitch to turn on reverb, speed and intensity functions - search e-bay or reverb for "Always On Plug". I made a few shunt plugs that go in the footswitch jack so you don't need the footswitch at all to take advantage of all the features of the amp. People like them....get one if you have a DRRI or a Super Reverb!

I really like these legs on my SRRI so I thought I'd add them to my Champion 100. I had to take out the electronics, a simple unscrewing and there is plenty of space to dripp the holes. Took some measurements and drilled the holes, there are forums out there that have instructions, but i guess its all personal pref since Fender doesnt include any with the item. Surprisingly the legs lined up so my measures were good- this was the trickiest part but they look great once they are attached to the amplifier. I used the 16" legs on the Champ100.

The picture clearly shows amp corners and the metal mounting brackets for the chassis. All that was delivered was the tilt backs. False advertising.

All hardware is included-fits my Music Man 65-210 perfect!

This item is a genuine Fender product. It is top quality and will fit the smaller fender amp products like the Deluxe Reverbs. I purchased these “tilt back legs” to fit my two Fender Deluxe Reverb guitar amplifiers (one is the Fender “ ‘65 Deluxe Reverb Re-Issue” and the other is the Fender “ ‘64 Custom Deluxe Reverb”). These are part of my blackface Fender 60’s backline I use for certain shows. I also use an original 1966 blackface Fender Bassman in this line up. All “tilted back” of course! These legs are easy to install. I will buy another pair when I pick up the new line of Deluxe Reverbs from Fender.

You pretty much have to use Youtube to figure out exactly where to install these legs on your amp...I have a 68 Reverb Deluxe and there are no instructions...there are videos and online diagrams that you can use to get an idea where you want it...on my amp, you have to be careful where you install, and you don't have a lot of room to work inside the amp itself to hold the nut in place that keeps the bolt on the legs...it's a great product. Shame on Fender though for not having official instructions and making us scavenge online for assembly directions.

The photo with the tilt back legs includes 2 metal corners and two short metal strips and finger bolts. These were not with the shipment but I really wasn't expecting them anyway. The 2x 14" tilt back legs and installation hardware were what I was looking for. The Fender legs don't include any installation instructions but again I wasn't expecting any per comments left by previous purchasers of this product. You'll need to look to YouTube videos to help with installation. Also, a 30 degree plastic angle from a math set helped with setting the proper tilt-back angle. Overall I'm happy with the quality and finished look of the product!

Exactly as expected. Does not come with instructions but there is lots of info on the forums. Great upgrade for the amp, gets it a a very good listen angel.

The only problem is there were no instructions. Fender should do their homework and include measurements for different amps.

Used this product on a fender hot Rod deluxe amplifier. Product worked as described. Nicely chromed.
