Ah! I see amazon listing them now. Though not from amazon.

They have that nice retro future look.

I wish they would build a new amp that wasn't a silly looking toy. Listened to the YouTube of the amp and wasn't impressed but you get what you pay for. But I do like the 2x10s.

Seems like that's all they're turning out these days. That, plus the line of new Fender wines and a lifestyles catalog that would rival the Abercrombie & Fitch wishbook.

:roll:

I know. The thing looks hideous. Doubt if I ever would plug one in.

I agree. It absolutely looks like something you'd see on the Venture Bros.

I don't keep anything for 50 months. (Although it does occur to me that I've had both my am std and blues jr for about 20 years.)

When I first heard that Fender was bringing out a Vaporizer, I thought they had been bought out by Vicks.
