Hi Guys (and gals),
Went to a guitar shop yesterday to help pick out a guitar for my dad. I plugged into the Super Reverb Reissue.
Well, it sounded pretty damn good! I will caveate this by saying, I did not have my 1968 (AB763) amp next to it to compare it to. But this capture that Black Face Fender tone pretty good! I would think anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference if it was not being played side by side with the real thing.
By the time I finsished running the guitar through its paces, I had the whole store around me checking out the beautiful sounds coming out of the amp!
It may be a pain in the butt for maintenence, but I would not discount using one in the future. Again remember I did not compare these side by side, but it captured "the" sound.

Hi Kenny,
Yes they have PCB. This is actually not a bad thing. But it has been debated a million times. I can get around a PCB board just as easy as a point to point, so I don't see any real advantages or disavantages.
Usually the biggest issues are the quality of the components used in a reissue. I can't really speak of the components on this reissue, because I have not looked inside one. I only played through it.
Bottom line really is that sound great. Maybe better, maybe worse than an original, but I think it stood on its own merrits.
That was really the point of the post. This is a great sounding amp.
