Main Features  
Uses COSM technology to model the amp sound of a Fender® DELUXE REVERB®.  
Makes it easy for you to enjoy that vintage Fender® amp sound simply by connecting the  
FDR-1 to your usual guitar amp.  
Features reverb and vibrato effects like those on an actual DELUXE REVERB® amp.  
* Reverb:An effect that adds reverberations to sound.  
* Vibrato:An effect that changes the volume level in a cyclical way.  
About the Fender® DELUXE REVERB®  
fig.DeluxeReverb.eps  
The DELUXE REVERB® amp was announced in 1963. It’s medium  
wattage and pure tone made it a top choice throughout the ’60s,  
’70s and ’80s, for use in recording sessions and live performances  
in a full range of genres, from surf music, blues, and country to jazz,  
soul, and even hard rock.  
In addition to its characteristic clean and crisp tones, at high vol-  
ume levels the amp delivers a lustrous overdrive sound that could  
only come from the DELUXE REVERB®.  
Among the several members of the series, the 1965 model is espe-  
cially acclaimed and has captured the hearts of many guitarists.  
Reissued in 1994, the DELUXE REVERB® is truly one of Fender’s  
finest amps and a perennial best-seller to this day.

1. AC Adaptor Jack  
1 2  
This jack accepts the connection of an AC  
adaptor (optionally available BOSS PSA-se-  
ries). By using an AC adaptor, you can play  
without being concerned about how much  
battery power you have left.  
* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-  
series), and make sure the line voltage at the  
installation matches the input voltage specified  
on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors  
may use a different polarity, or be designed for  
a different voltage, so their use could result in  
damage, malfunction, or electric shock.  
* If the AC adaptor is connected while power is  
on, the power supply is drawn from the AC  
adaptor.  
* If there is a battery in the unit while an AC  
adaptor is being used, the FDR-1 will switch  
over to battery-powered operation should the  
line voltage be interrupted due to a power  
blackout or power cord disconnection.

2. CHECK Indicator  
This indicator shows whether the effect is on  
or off, and also doubles as the battery check  
indicator. The indicator lights when the ef-  
fect is on.  
This switch turns the effect on/off.  
5. Thumbscrew  
When this screw is loosened, the pedal will  
open, allowing you to change the battery.  
For instructions on changing the battery, re-  
fer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 14).  
* If you’re powering the unit with a battery  
and the CHECK indicator goes dim—or  
doesn’t light at all—when you try to turn the  
effect on, the battery is near depletion and  
should be replaced. For instructions on  
changing the battery, refer to “Changing the  
Battery” (p. 14).  
* The CHECK indicator shows whether the  
effect is being applied or not. It does not  
indicate whether the power to the device is on  
or not.  
6. INPUT Jack  
These jacks are for connecting the output  
from an electric guitar or other instrument or  
effects device.  
* These jacks double as power switch. Power to  
the FDR-1 is turned on when you plug into  
the INPUT jack; the power is turned off when  
the cable is unplugged. When not using the  
FDR-1, be sure to disconnect the plug from  
the INPUT jack.  
3. OUTPUT Jack  
This output jack is used for connecting to  
guitar amps and other effects processors.

12. VIBRATO Knob  
This adjusts the amount of vibrato effect (cy-  
clical fluctuations in volume) that is applied.  
Turning it clockwise makes the effect more  
intense.  
8. LEVEL Knob  
This adjusts the volume of the effect sound.  
Turning the VIBRATO knob while depress-  
ing the pedal switch changes the vibrato rate  
(RATE setting mode).  
* No sound is output when this knob is turned  
completely counterclockwise.  
Turning it clockwise increases the rate.

Inserting a connecting plug into the INPUT jack  
turns on the power to the unit.  
Raise the amp volume only after turning on the  
power to all connected devices.  
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the  
unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should  
you prefer to use a battery, please use the alkaline  
type.  
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers  
or other devices, always turn down the volume, and  
turn off the power on all devices before making any  
connections.  
If there is a battery in the unit while an AC adaptor  
is being used, normal operation will continue  
should the line voltage be interrupted due to power  
blackout or power cord disconnection.  
Some connection cables contain resistors. When  
connection cables with resistors are used, the sound  
level may be extremely low, or impossible to hear.  
For information on cable specifications, contact the  
manufacturer of the cable.  
causing malfunction and/or damage to speakers and  
other devices.  
When powering up:  
Turn on the power to your guitar amp last.  
When powering down:  
Turn off the power to your guitar amp first.  
Always make sure to have the volume level turned  
down before switching on power. Even with the  
volume all the way down, you may still hear some  
sound when the power is switched on, but this is  
normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.  
When operating on battery power only, the CHECK  
indicator will become dim when battery power gets  
too low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.

Changing the Battery  
When the indicator goes dim or no longer  
lights while the effect is on, it means that the  
battery must be replaced. Replace the battery  
following the steps below.  
1. Hold down the pedal and loosen the  
thumbscrew, then open the pedal  
upward.  
*
The pedal can be opened without detaching the  
thumbscrew completely.  
*
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the  
unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should  
you prefer to use a battery, please use the alkaline type.  
2. Remove the old battery from the battery  
housing, and remove the snap cord con-  
nected to it.
