Stupidest example of the "retro/deco" craze that I've seen lately. The volume and tone knobs are clearly discernible but where in hell did they hide the input jack?

I bet that that has some wet reverb though...

Vaporizer, if I wore leopard tights and feathers...
Ain't gonna happen....

Looks like they might have been going for a (very) scaled
down version of a Carr Rambler 210, of sorts.

Better hurry and get in line. The other guy has probably been waiting a while. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just kidding. Hope you enjoy the amp and that it has less problems then some of Fender's other retro amps.

Personally I wouldn't get hung up on what it looked like if the tone was there, but one will never know if it's dismissed on those merits. I like the way it looks, but I also wouldn't buy it on just looks alone. :D

No wife would ever let you bring that ugly space heater home, and no band would ever let you put it on stage. So who is it for? Fake retro afficionados?

Fake retro done poorly if you ask me.At least the Excelsior somewhat resembled an older Supro Supreme 51 amp. On the outside anyways.

+1000!!!!

It seems as though FMIC is running away from its roots and its heritage just as fast as they can.

So long, Fender......it was nice knowin' ya.
