Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? These amps are built like tanks. Reliability How has it stood up over time? My original Blonde was with me ten years and other than the radio station bleed I had no issues or repairs to that amp. General Your general opinion of this product. I had owned an original California Blonde but had issues with radio interference in a club where I play due to old electrical wiring. I traded my old Blonde for a Genz Benz, but after two months I missed the huge sound of the California Blonde amp and I took a chance that the new model might have circuitry to reject the radio station bleed. I am glad to be back with this amp again. The new features are great and I am getting complements on the sound. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I like the separate control buttons for phase and reverb for each channel. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The tone was what sold me on my first Blonde and it brought me back to this newer version. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? My only complaint was a dent in the front face board. It could have happened in shipping. Action How was the action out of the box? I like the new three direct outputs on the back. Phantom power for microphone is a major plus.
