Description
Alluringly refined yet harboring tones from polite to raw to raucous, the Pawn Shop Special Excelsior model is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive tube combo amps in Fender history. Its brown textured vinyl covering, smartly stylish E grille design and bold crossed-swords front-panel badge convey a decidedly stately vibe with a marked air of cold-war cool.
To say nothing of its admirable tone and power. The 13-watt Excelsior elegantly encloses a single 15 Special Design speaker, with a bottom-loaded primary chassis and top-loaded control chassis for operating convenience and low noise (powered by two 6V6 output tubes and two 12AX7 preamp tubes). Distinctive features include GTR, microphone and accordion inputs that each have individually optimized circuitry; tremolo circuit with speed control, bright/dark tone switch (for treble or bass emphasis), volume control and 1/4 internal speaker disconnect that lets the amp drive an external speaker enclosure. For playing at home, smaller gigs and studio sessions, the Excelsior is a class act that brings a fresh and unconventional new vibe to your playing.
Unique Features:
13 Watts of output power, Two 6V6 output tubes, Two 12AX7 preamp tubes, 15" Special Design speaker, GTR, Microphone, and Accordion inputs, each with individually optimized circuitry, Bottom-loaded primary chassis with top-loaded control chassis for low noise and operating convenience, Volume control, Tremolo with speed control, Treble/Bass tone switch, 1/4 speaker plug may be disconnected to use Excelsior with an 8-ohm, 15W minimum, external speaker enclosure

WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GET VINTAGE, THERMIONIC TONE FOR $299 or less!
Well, many would, especially with bias tremolo.
First and foremost, this amp has TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL for tonal improvement, thanks to Fender's simplistic old-school combo construction.
Off the shelf, Excelsior sounded great with both my mim Stratocaster AND mia Jazz bass strung with flatwounds. Tones achieved covered the entire spectrum at the turn of a (volume) knob. From Bright and articulate, to raucous crunch. It's true tube tone baby!
...however, IMO, Excelsior was locked; lacking an organic drive 50's and 60's tube amps produced, undoubtedly.
With the help of simple upgrades, like an alnico woofer, nos tubes (incliding a 5751 in v1)
AND A VOIDED WARRANTY OF COURSE
The amp now sounds amazing; like none other.
Excelsior now makes it possible for any of my passive guitar's or bass's to sing that true blooming, vintage vibe, at bar-gig volume too.
I can't thank them enough. Fender has designed an extraordinary amp at a next- to-noting price!
Grab one while ya' can...You'll be surprised at what this amp CAN'T DO!

Im from calgary and order the thing 6 days ago and it just arrived this morning (which means late delivery). But when I open the box, the thing is perfect. No Issues at all, the jewel light doesnt flutter, tubes ok. So I guess either I am lucky or LnM check their items before every shipment. All in all the waiting 'is not' in vain.

I joined 'Club X' at the end of 2012. It took almost three months for the Excelsior to arrive (I imagine a good sign of the amp's popularity).
In a sentence, this amp is so very good and so very frustrating all at the same time. It's fun as hell......but it hums and buzzes (especially in D or D#).
There's quite the online community after the amp's first year of production to discuss modifications, remedies and upgrades.
As for myself, I may kick myself in twelve months time.....but I'll be drinking the full glass of the Excelsior Kool-Aid. I'm purchasing a second one and investing in the mods, DI box, AB/Y and true bypass pedals.

After reading about this amp before and after mods, I thought I would give it a "try". I replaced the tubes with JJ's and changed the Pre-amp tube to a 12Y7 to allow more headroom. I replaced the speaker with an Emminence 1518 and then replaced the Tone Switch with a Non-Linear POT. It became a new amp!!! I play mostly Country and Classic R&R and after playing 2 gigs (one with my Tele, one with my Gretsch 6120) it has become my go-to amp. I just LOVE the tone and the Tremolo rocks. I highly recommend this amp.

Went to take a look at an Epiphone Les Paul someone had for sale (he happens to be the first review of this product) and he had taken me upstairs to check out the amp. He played a little Slash tune and MAN that thing had a great sound. He had the volume on 1 and I could feel every strum. Put it up to 2 and the doors were rattling. This one amp has plenty of power and a magnificent tube amp sound. It's a definite sale for the price. If you need an amazing amp at a low price, this is what you're looking for.I'm low (and when I say low I mean LOOOOWW) on cash, but once I make up the price I'm getting one for myself with no hesitation.

Relatively new to electric guitars, I bought a Line-6 Spider Jam as my first amp until I could find the tone I wanted in a tube amp. I was prepared to eventually spend $1k on a decent tube amp. But one day I heard someone testing out the newest little Fender I was amazed. The Tone was Perfect, the Look was unique and when I saw the price tag it was an instant sale.
I have a Gretch 5420, a Les Paul Studio and my first electric ...a Fender Classic Vibe 50's Tele (Squire). They all sound amazing but the cheapest one (Tele) is still my favorite.
As mentioned, the Single Coils really shine on this little amp. My next guitar will likely be an American Standard Strat. I figure I owe it to myself for saving myself a ton by getting this little gem of an amp for a song!
Line 6 digi will be sold on Kijiji soon.
I have Noticed since I bought my Excelsior a couple months ago, the dealers cant keep them in stock, they are flying off the shelf as fast as they arrive so get one while you still can.

I'm currently running two of these little tone monsters in "stereo" with an AB/Y selector box - awesome tone! Essentially 2 x 15 speakers (ala "Dual Showman" cabinet style) makes it a great combination for intro-surf rock. You can't beat the price, and it really is a cool, vibey retro amp. Get one while you can ...

Walked into my local L&M not expecting to walk out with a new amp! This little guy took me by surprise ... what a great, funky, lo - fi tone machine! I ran a 50th anniv. Fender Jaguar and a Tele with hb's thru it and it sounded amazing. Clean to gritty and some compression. Definately a bargain for the price and a great little tube practice amp! Get one while you can!

Okay - for all of those that have been interested in this amp for some time waiting for them to become available and in the meantime watching whatever video's become available on YouTube - you need to play and hear this for yourself.
Like most of us, I have owned a few different amps of all makes, models and sizes over the years. Included in my current "stable" of equipment is a Tone King "Imperial" which is one heck of an amplifier and you can't reasonably compare the Fender Excelsior to that kind of equipment. That said, the Excelsior seems to have been given a lot of bad reviews that I feel are unjust. I too just picked mine up this past week and from the minute I plugged it in it gave exactly as advertised. I am almost exclusively a Strat player and the tones coming out of my various Strat models were all "spot on". However, when I plugged in my guitars to either the microphone or accordion I couldn't believe how good those sounded. Those options add a whole new dimension to this amp and one that I think is really underrated. Then I plugged in some of my favorite pedals all of which sounded great including a Boss ME-50 multi-effects board which is fairly finicky about the amps I try and match it up with. It seemed to instantly love the Excelsior and I have just begun to to experiment with it. So, for the money, and the versatility this amp affords the player, I don't think it can be beat. Don't listen to the negatives - go out, find one, play your favorite "axe" through it (or any "axe" for that matter) and listen for yourself. There is pretty much something in there for everybody.

Just bought it this week and what a great amp. The tremolo with the bright switch really adds depth and sparkle to the sound. I like it better than my blues jr's and that's pretty hard to do. Great price and I think Fender has a winner..

Fender has (re)created a classic amp that pays tribute to those old department store amps of the 50's and 60's. They were simple devices that went from clean and smooth sounding to compressed and distorted in the twist of the volume knob. Like many old amps it features an excellent tremelo and no reverb, The tone is either bright or dark and works in conjuction with single coils or humbuckers to deliver many useable tones. The big 15'" speaker and the 6V6 tubes combine with smallish transformers to deliver that quirky garage band vibe that many old dudes remember and some guys like Jimmy Page used to created classic sounds in the studio. The Excelsior has it's own sound and cool looks which is a nice change in a world where most amps look and sound too similar.

I was looking at a vox ac 30 but was told it really was to loud.....then i thought ok maybe an evil robot...or the ac 15.....well i was debating for a year and then one day i tried the epi vol only 5watt amp combo and i liked it but it was a little too small....then my main guy at L&M pulled out this. i loved the look...and i hate fenders amps......but i really loved the look..so i plug into it and i think it took all of a minute to decide that bang for buck this thing kills the competition.the tone is awesome and with a couple pedals you can do anything with this. its not a ac 30 but this thing is loud....and for 300bucks there really is no better deal for a true tube amp combo with a 15inch spk. it sound awesome with anything but loves the 3 les pauls i have. if you want a great deal for a great amp....and you can find one of these.....get it before there gone.

Protégez votre investissement avec la Garantie de fiabilité Long & McQuade.
Une bonne garantie est souvent un facteur décisif au moment d’un achat. Étant donné qu’une réparation peut être très dispendieuse, les manufacturiers n’offrent en général qu’une protection limitée d’un an couvrant seulement les défauts de fabrication. Lors d’une acquisition aussi importante que celle d’un instrument de musique ou d’une pièce d’équipement, vous voudrez avoir l’assurance que votre achat sera protégé de façon adéquate.
C’est pourquoi Long & McQuade offre une année GRATUITE de sa Garantie de fiabilité sur la plupart de ses produits. Cette couverture, qui bonifie celle du fabricant, vous procurera la tranquillité d’esprit que vous recherchez.
En quoi la garantie Long & McQuade se distingue-t-elle de celles des autres fabricants?
- Fiabilité assurée : l’usure normale de certaines pièces est couverte. Le produit fonctionnera aussi bien qu’au premier jour pour toute la durée de la protection. Pour les instruments d’orchestre, nos techniciens et techniciennes évalueront la nécessité d’effectuer un nettoyage en profondeur, un remplacement de tampons ou un nettoyage à ultrasons. Ces services ne sont pas offerts systématiquement dans le cadre de la Garantie de fiabilité.
- Possibilité de remplacement : si votre produit est irréparable ou coûte trop cher à remettre en état, nous l’échangerons contre un modèle identique ou équivalent, sans frais supplémentaires. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous vous accorderons un remboursement complet.
- Politique anticitron : si votre article présente un problème récurrent, nous le remplacerons.
- Accessibilité : vous pouvez vous prévaloir de votre garantie dans n’importe quelle succursale Long & McQuade.
- Réglage de guitare : une mise au point gratuite est incluse à l’achat de toute guitare neuve ou d’occasion.
- Prêt de matériel : un produit de rechange peut être mis à votre disposition pendant la réparation de votre article.
- Survoltage couvert : l’appareil est garanti même s’il est endommagé par une surtension.
- Assurance-accessoires : tous les accessoires fournis avec le produit (pédale, étui, etc.) sont couverts.
- Usage commercial approuvé : l’équipement acheté pour une utilisation intensive bénéficie aussi de cette protection.
Long & McQuade se réserve le droit de limiter l’achat d’années additionnelles. Les produits d’occasion sont protégés par la Garantie de fiabilité pour une durée de trois mois. Certains articles (logiciels, cymbales, etc.) sont couverts uniquement par la garantie du fabricant. Les biens non durables (cordes, anches, baguettes, piles, tubes, etc.) sont exclus, tout comme les dommages accidentels, la détérioration esthétique et les problèmes causés par l’humidité ou la température. Les haut-parleurs endommagés par un usage excessif ne sont généralement pas couverts. Notre garantie ne compense pas la perte de jouissance. A partir de juin 2018, la garantie de performance n'est plus transférable. Valide seulement au Canada.
Achat d’années additionnelles de garantie
Certains fabricants offrent une garantie de plus d’un an, mais qui est en général limitée et moins avantageuse que la nôtre. Lorsque c’est le cas, la prolongation de notre protection vous sera tout de même profitable, du fait qu’elle est plus complète et pratique.
Vous pouvez acheter des années supplémentaires de notre protection si vous souhaitez en profiter plus longtemps. Les tarifs sont les suivants :
- Produits NEUFS : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf par année supplémentaire.
- Produits D’OCCASION : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer initialement de trois mois à un an. À partir de 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
- Guitares : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus. Tarif maximum de 45 $. Une mise au point gratuite supplémentaire n’est pas incluse avec l’achat d’années de couverture additionnelles.
- Instruments d’orchestre : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
