Not disappointed
I’m a Vox guy, but when I saw this on sale, I went for it. I’m happy I did as this amp is fantastic. Great tone, especially with my telecaster. Love the vibrato. The Reverb is cray. I keep it low around 2-3. Any more and things get weird. It’s plenty loud for me home playing (I don’t gig). Looks killer, too!

Took it back
On specs and reputation, I ordered this. Bonamassa himself said this was better than the original. It has tube driven effects, has two different sounding channels, clips without having to shake the walls in a bedroom. I even loved it when I played into it alone.
Now what is this amp's downfall: noise. This amp has a very noisy baseline. It is noisy in standby and when you aren't playing. It is noisier still if you try to run effect pedals before it. It's untenable, especially if you are interested in recording with it. And it really isn't loud enough to cut through the mix live. Great tone until the moment you stop playing. You could change a few resistors or start to retube and rebias right away, but that is not what I look for when I drop over a grand on an all tube amp.
If you like the overall tone but want less of that terrible static (poltergeist TV esque) noise, I would recommend a vibrolux or the reissue Princeton reverb.

Great Amp
The amp was ordered on a Tuesday, and was waiting for me when I arrived home on Wednesday. Got the amp out of it's box, plugged it in, and was instantly impressed with the clean tones. Very pretty sounding amp. Clea, warm. and articulate tones.
The Reverb sounds really good as well, not overly sterile or cheap sounding like so many other built in reverbs.
The built in vibrato is also a treat as it has a very lush sound, and you can control the intensity through the speed and depth knobs. The amp also comes with a foot switch so you can turn the vibrato and reverb on and off through the pedal.
The amp also comes with an amp cover.

Clean Fender tone with just the right amount of power. Not overwhelming but load enough for stage performances or even smaller outside gigs.
Clean Fender tone with just the right amount of power. Not overwhelming but load enough for stage performances or even smaller outside gigs. Plenty of drive with the preamp volume control. Quality Vibrato & Reverb. Nice vintage look with the gray tolex. came with a 2 button footswitch for reverb & Vibrato and a nice Fender amp cover.

68 Deluxe Reverb
Great Deal on quality Fender gear which rarely goes on sale. Ordered on Thursday and it was at my door Friday (RI), perfect condition. Great classic tube amp tones...
