Avoid what Fender is calling their Vintage Reissue Deluxe Reverb for $1,500. They are Chinese circuit board amps. Sterile and lifeless. Miniature pots wave soldered crap.

If I ever came across a used Vicky Club Deluxe for a good price, I would jump on it because they were hand wired just like the originals in 1964.

I used to have a '65, but I sold it because I was young and retarded. It remains the only amp I ever sold that I wish I could get back. I may have to build one some day.
I’m thinking I can build one myself maybe? I was thinking of running a Tikiman Deluxe Reverb
