Lucas Miles Custom Deluxe Combo - AUS 2016

Lucas Miles Amplification has built a strong reputation amongst Australian players for producing some of the country's finest hand-wired amplifiers. Built in Melbourne using traditional construction methods and premium components throughout, the Custom Deluxe is Lucas Miles' take on the classic 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb, refined with carefully selected upgrades and subtle voicing changes designed to deliver an even richer and more balanced response. Rather than simply cloning a vintage circuit, the Custom Deluxe incorporates Jupiter Vintage Tone capacitors inspired by the yellow Astron capacitors found in classic American amplifiers of the 1950s and 1960s. Paired with a Jensen P12N Alnico speaker and oversized Mercury Magnetics output transformer, the result is a remarkably full and articulate amplifier with warm lows, balanced mids, and a smooth top end that avoids the harshness often associated with modern reissues. Like all Lucas Miles amplifiers, the Custom Deluxe is hand wired point-to-point using cotton covered wiring and traditional fibreboard construction. Premium components are used throughout, including carbon composition resistors, Sprague Atom filter capacitors, Accutronics reverb tank, and high-quality tube complement. The result is an amplifier that captures the feel, dynamics, and responsiveness of a great vintage American combo while offering the reliability of a modern hand-built amplifier. For players seeking boutique craftsmanship, vintage-inspired tone, and one of Australia's most highly regarded hand-wired amplifier builders, the Lucas Miles Custom Deluxe represents an exceptional alternative to both vintage and production-line amplifiers.
