Ive been looking threw alot of fender amps recently and i thought which was the best fender amp with in the last few decades. The amp had to be good in all modern applications, in small an big venues and good for recording.

Since we're talking fender big distortions never struck me as an important factor but is a bonus.

Personally i think a 90s Vibroverb RI. Nice medium wattage, tilt legs, awesome sounding and good with pedals.

What do you guys think is the best fender within the last 30 years?

The 4 x 10 "Concert" amp from the old Pro Series tube line-up for traditional blackface vibe combined with modern features.

The "Pro-Sonic" series for a heavier metal-ish tone and selectable rectifier modes (either combo or piggy-back format).

Nice. I was wondering when fender were gonna make an amp that was insanely clean and then had a really decent distortion.

Mind you ive played some Diezels (A VH4S, yes its a stereo tube head) That had insanely nice cleans, fender like and had really harsh overdrive channels.

IMO they've never really had one that suited my "druthers".

But I can coax convincing approximations of most classic and contemporary tones from my vintage blackfaces and silverfaces using my pedalboard.

I'm hoping the 1991 Vibro King I have on Layaway will be, lol. :)
