Out of curiousity, can anyone offer a comparison between the larger three Mustang amps and Fender's older Cyber Deluxe and Cyber Twin amps?

I know the Cyber Twin sold for a flat fortune back in the day, and I see them pop up occasionally on Craigslist with asking prices higher than a new Mustang IV V2.

Are the Cybers superior or is their technology and modeling tone inferior to the new Mustangs? Anyone played through or owned both?

Also have the same curiousity about the old Johnson Mellinium Stereo 120 amps which also still occasionally appear on CL with crazy high prices. I imagine the Millenium and the Cyber were competitiors.

I would think as far as modeling amps go that "an oldie would not necessarily mean a goodie." I mean, I wouldn't pay $20 for a 13 year old PC that sold for $5000 in year 2000... wouldn't the same apply to modeling amps?

I have to admit I think the motorized amp knobs on the Cybers are cool and wish my Mustang V did that... but I am sure that feature added cost, weight and a potential reliability issue.

With the computerized amps, I recommend the newest tech. The Mustang V2's are second to none in Fender sounds. I had a few older modellers, and the newer tech would easily be the best! Hope that helps!

Mustang III v2 is the way to go. I have owned all of the amps you mentioned and the MIII v2 blows them all away.
