New here.

I bought this amp a week ago for but I can`t find any information about it on the i-net.
Any suggestions?

Whatever it is, I'm pretty certain that Fender did not build it.

:shock:

Wow - what the hell is that thing? Someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look like a Fender.

+1

Some chassis shots might help to nail down whatever this amp's pedigree happens to be.

how much did you pay for it, and what did the seller tell you about the amp?

I`ve paid 280 dollars (it`s like 215 Euro). Seller said that he is in doubt that somebody have made somethings to it. I really don`t regret that. Sounds pretty good for my needs.

If the amp otherwise sounds good, the price seems reasonable for what it is.

Rawk on!

Are you in Europe? Is this an overseas amp made by Fender?

Fender did not build this. It looks like a Guyatone that someone has taken great pains to disguise.

Possible. But note the cosmetic similarities to this Guyatone Reverb Jazz combo......

Arjay...Guyatone...yep I think you nailed it...same grill cloth and everything. And after going through each pic someone sure did go through a huge pain to fake it into a Fender Clone. Unbelievable.
