Fender's new pawn shop amps...

[TubeGeek]

Neat looking amps...

I kinda dig the Greta!  A 12ax7 preamp and 12at7 output.

Kinda neat, but makes me think that Fender is having an identity crisis...  Are they building Valco's now?  Hard to tell because they didn't even put their name on them.

Come on man... We build stuff like this for giggles. And when we're done, it sounds better.

Probably made by Foxconn.

I like Valco designs ( to a point)  and those mickey mouse amps sure aren't like the Valco designs I've built   And the 400 buck price isn't too impressive either......

Chinese crap to be sure but I bet they'll sell like hotcakes.As a Fender warrnaty tech they will be dropping like flies.So when the first batch comes back I'll keep a few shells for myself and build some real amps inside.PC board crap!
