Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I own a Fender 65 PRRI, 57 Custom Champ and a Victoria 5112. I love Fender amplifier tones. I live a few miles from the Mesa factory in Petaluma, so I took a shot and ordered this from zZounds. It sounds amazing, looks like a work of art and with the multiple power levels, is a perfect home studio amplifier.
