Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The build quality appears spectacular. It's a solid cabinet, and the authentic tweed covering is stunning for that vintage vibe. Very easy to service too or experiment with tube changes. These reissue amps (unlike the originals) have a bias trim pot which is easily accessible by simply removing the back panel. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Brand new...so, too soon to discuss reliability. Overall Your general opinion of this product. At 40 watts, this is a perfect amp for any practice or gig situation, covering stunning clean tones to classic rock. This is a pro player's amp at a great price point.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Looks great to me. Reliability How has it stood up over time? No idea only had it for a short time, but it's got a 5 year warranty..and with AMS addtional year, what your downside? Overall Your general opinion of this product. I demo'd Fender amps for about a year before settling on this amp. I was willing to shell out 2 grand on an amplifier and I went into this expecting to like the Deluxe Reverb Reissue more, but I didn't. This amp does the Fender clean beautifully. People on forums pan the "More Drive Channel" and I don't get it....sure it's not a Diezel head...but for classic rock it's right on...Wonderful Amp....cannot stop playing it. It is LOUD...and you need to push the tubes to get the best tone. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Controls are backwards..you'll get used to it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Warm...beautiful cleans, wonderful breakup, loves pedals. No harshness to speak of to my ear. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Great. Action How was the action out of the box? Doesn't apply.
The perfect canvas for artistic creation.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Well made and no rattles or loose parts so far... Reliability How has it stood up over time? No magic smoke has escaped yet, so that is a good thing.. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I have been wanting one of these for over a year, but always backed out at the last moment. I finally got one and I should have never waited so long. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The nobs turn pretty easy and I always find myself rotating them to the more loud area... Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? As I stated before, this amp sounds great on it's own, but I like to write stuff like Pink Floyd with backings of ambient tones and lead work with tones of sustained distortion and delay. This amp is really opening up my creativity... Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Sweet tweed nostalgia.. Action How was the action out of the box? It has a little heft to it...
cant be beat..

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Fender Quality all the way. Reliability How has it stood up over time? It's a Fender. Although tube amps usually require a bit more maintenance and care than solid state amps, I expect this amp to last a long time with very little trouble. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Very solid, well-built amp. Vintage lacquered tweed looks as good as this amp sounds. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? vintage, sparkling clean tone to warm overdrive. Perfect for blues, rockabilly, jazz, and classic rock and roll. This is not an amp for metal. If you're looking for an amp with a lot of gain, consider the Marshall MA-50 in the same price range.

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? YES Reliability How has it stood up over time? I have a 1993 original issue that has lasted this long with original tubes and constant wk. end gigging and it ain't failed me yet! Overall Your general opinion of this product. If this amp is as good as the original...BUY IT!! After owning every amp imaginal in the last 40 yrs., this is the best toneful amp there is period. Why pay out the wazzoo for a botique amp when this will smoke all of them. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Like a premo tube amp should. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I can't say enough, you'll just have to hear for yourself. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Killer Action How was the action out of the box? N/A
