The Blackbird Deluxe is the latest and greatest offering from VS Audio of Athens, Greece. It does very convincing light to medium driven amp tones of 'brownface' and 'blackface' era Deluxe Reverbs. But it doesn't stop there; a warm, dynamic and independently controlled Bias Tremolo (Vibrato) is on tap and there's a handy Send & Return effects loop as well. Two stages of gain are footswitchable and the whole thing is typical of VS Audio - brilliant. If you're after those classic tones, you need to have a look at the Blackbird Deluxe.
