Feature:
classic fender clean, classic fender cruch, i couldn't ask for more

Quality:
classic fender

Value:
yes im buying it asap

Sound:
this is the amp that defines fender clean. i haven't seen a better clean channel (the only channel in this amp). Reverb is classic fender reverb. the tremolo on the amp didn't work but im sure that brand new it is great. Turn the volume up past 5 and you start getting a nice cruchy distortion good from blues to even some alternative. it can get loud enough for small gigs, but anything past that youre stuck

Ease of Use:
it took a while to find the power switch (like 5 seconds) and i was good from there.

Feature:
It's a straight up solid foundation for whatever you want to add on top.

Quality:
Mine was from 1973. It still rocked. Neverblinked for one second during hundreds of gigs. It was stolen, otherwise I'd still be playing it today.

Sound:
Found one of these in a pawn shop, for $100- an original one from 1973. Didn't know what I had because all it said was 'Fender'... but it had the same tube circuitry and everything. Now I know it was a Delux. Best amp in the world- can go from clean to grungy crunchy lke nobodies business. Can also produce some SERIOUS volume. The warm glowing tubes are the heart and soul of the sound. It's the most recorded amp, ever. Can't beat that!

Ease of Use:
Ease of use? Ummm.... you turn it on. It's pretty easy LOL! Actually the only tough thing was the weight- it's heavy to haul around. But to make good sound any speaker cabinet has to have mass.

Support:
Never had to...

Overall:
It's an alltime classic. Most recorded amp, ever!

Feature:
I like it simple.

Quality:
Seems robust.

Value:
It is a lot, but I payed $750 for a MF-104SD (which is worth every penny), so this isn't that bad for what it does for me.

Desirability:
I love the looks of this amp!

Sound:
I tried it next to a Hot Rod Deluxe also interested in, and I was amazed how much clearer, puncher and fuller it sounded. The two amps are what I narrowed it down to and in the end this amp was better in all that I was looking for. Reverb was thinner on the hot rod and the cleans were not as warm. This amp doesn't have a drive channel or effects loop but I don't care. I use foot pedals for fuzz, which the green Russian big muff sounds so thick through this amp (you have to true-bypass it first, easy to do!). The only thing I was worried about was the 22 watts, but in the end it proven to be more then I need. I played in 2 bands and funk, classic rock soul band and rock jazz experimental. For both of these bands I have the volume 2.5 for one and 3 for the other and it

Quality:
so far really good. these are re-issue amps and they work 2 to 5 nights a week and i have them in flight cases.

Value:
good value compared to some of the stuff out there

Desirability:
good

Sound:
i have 2 of them and i have replaced the speakers with weber speakers and no other modifications. the webers improved the overall sound of the amp. it is a great club amp and they sound great.

Support:
always seem to be there

The reverb is great,deep and watery. Tremolo is good although not as good as on the originals.

Value:
I think the asking price could be a bit cheaper considering the amp has a PCB. At

Feature:
Simple, straight to the point,plug in turn up and play. If you like using th "vibrato" effect , its not as strong as some, but usable.The best Reverb I've heard on any amp I've owned or heard locally!

Quality:
Good quality.

Value:
Maybe a bit expensive, but worth it

Desirability:
Just a good looking Fender amp, nothing special, not as dramatic as a Marshall M1959 "Plexi" full-stack.

Sound:
I've been told that Premium Tubes and a Weber C12N Speaker make a very good sounding amp sound absolutely fantastic.

Support:
Only put 5 as I have no idea as have had no problems as yet !!

Overall:
Can never really be 100% satisfied, I'd buy a Marshall M1962 "Bluesbreaker" Reissue tomorrow or a Vox AC30TBRX or a Fender "Vibro King" if I had the money and still be 99% happy with the ' 65 Deluxe reissue and use it within its limitations, which for me at the moment are none!
