Features prev. covered below. Pt-pt wired, w/ awesome strange verb & super spooky trem. automatic 10 right?

Sound Quality : 10
Fantastic. Mine really breaks up when pushed, sorta like burton & taylor after a drinking jag. Truly stunning breakup. Every time folks here my recordings, they give me the "larry, I didn't think you had a tweed, where'd ya get the N. young tone?" & then proceed to lose it when I show 'em my two-tone, two spkr Guild!! Quiet as mouse when not played thru. My major recording amp. If'n yr looking for Wait-sy trem, this'll take into the arena of Ribot, if you can work to a similar chop level.

Reliability : 10

see above. this is a total tone gem. pretty rare, but if you hunt, you can find 'em or about a 1/4th of what a ratty fndr tweed deluxe'll run & mine kicks the patooty of every tweed deluxe I've ever played & I've played some good ones.

This is an older single channel amp with two speakers. There are three seperate inputs (normal, bright, microphone) which all yield different distinct sounds which are all good. It has a fantastic tube reverb which is accomplished through the use of an additional speaker coupled with a 12AX7 tube. I don't know how it works but it gets very deep if you want. The tremolo is to die for and is adjustable for speed and depth. I would give it a ten but it is never really distorts which is technically a feature.

Sounds fantastic. A jazz or clean players dream. Excellent for surf music or funky tremolo work. Not noisy at all. No distortion without a pedal but mild breakup at higher volumes. I would guess its around 15 watts.

Reliability : No Opinion
It's old so who knows. But schematics and tubes are available so it can always be fixed.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Are they still in business?

Overall Rating : 10
Great for what it does. Versatility and sound of a Fender Deluxe without the price.
