I'm sure this is a loaded question but I'd like to know if a Lonestar Classic/Special combo can pull off the same lush reverb of a Fender Princeton Reissue. I absolutely LOVED the rich reverb on my PRRI but I had to end up selling it because the thing rattled on lower notes something awful and a trip to an authorized fender repair shop was unable to offer an "authorized repair" for it. Will a Lonestar combo capture the same 3D quality clean sound and lush reverb that the Princeton had? My Mark V half-stack, while having great cleans, does not come close to the 3D quality of the little Princeton but I'm wondering if that has more to do with the closed-back 4x12 vs the open back combo. Any thoughts if a Lonestar captures the same blackface clean sound and quality reverb? I really want a combo with Blackface cleans but also with a great overdrive channel. This amp will sit in the living room so I don't want to mess with any pedals, just plan 'n play only.

What do you mean ? They can't fix it on waranty ? Or they can't fix even if you paid ?

You are better to fix this amp not sold it, find a qualified tech. It is probalby a tube's rattle, need new tube ?
