The Fender Frontman? Only because it's not a tube amp, but still sounds pretty dam good.

I don't see too many VMs around, but they sound good when Greg Koch is using them...

Recently heard a guy plying though a Vibrolux. He said he had it for about 6 months (purchaced new) anyway I thought it sounded great.
I had not seen one of these lately...

fender princeton 112 plus.
its a solid state amp.
i have one and it sounds great for a SS amp.
plenty loud, great clean channel, the distortion side
really speaks up when needed. great practice amp.
best bang for the buck from fender if you ask me.

the next offering would have to be the blues jr.

Original 40 watt Super Reverb with the stock RCA tubes. One of the best sounding amps I've ever heard. Oops! I guess that would go under the "vintage" class instead of the "modern". Zinky's Pro-Sonic in the "modern" class.

+1

The Pro Sonic half stack was a pretty respectable rig. A shame that the sales numbers weren't there to keep it in production.

My current production "Champ" is amazing.... it's seems a little complicated to operate at first. But with just the on/off switch, two choices for input and a volume know, but once you get familiar with the controls it's pretty easy<VBG>

The only real changes from the original are the dual inputs with redesigned low/high impedance inputs, and a modern speaker...

You can go from clean and dry to down and dirty just by changing your input jack and volume levels...


My heavy duty rig is a 25 year old Princeton Chorus... 2x25 watt stereo amps, 2 selectable channels for drive, a wonderful analog chorus, spring reverb, and a terrific set of original drivers...

I have a Jazzmaster Ultralight and it's great: excellent jazz tones, decent distortion, very good reverb (I don't use the other FX) and a tone clean enough to plug an electric-acoustic into. It's also light, at 25.6 for the (250W) head and 12" cab. Terrific amp.

The '65 Super Reverb Reissue. The Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reissues get all the attention and they're stocked in all the music stores I browse. I have never seen a Super Reverb Reissue anywhere and I would like the opportunity to appreciate one.
