QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jul 24 2019, 02:01 AM)  God bless Fender. I'm sorta suprised combo amps are still being made given the quality of plugins and processors going around. Some folks just want an amp though. I'm not an amp snob, but some folks are. You know the cork sniffers  NO TUBES NO DEAL sort of folks The good news is folks can still buy combo tube amps if they want too. I fear it may start to shrink as the next gen of players turns to a laptop / speakers / interface as their entire home studio.There is something evocative about plugging straight into the front of a nice combo though, tube or ss it's just rock n roll and even to me it feels different, I can't explain why but go straight into an amp after playing through processors and computers for a while you just feel more connected. I'll watch that video later on, hopefully I won't get GAS lol. Thanks for sharing Mertay

Combo amps are great.
If you play in a 'club' band - whether that be a top 40 band, lounge band (casino), a jazz group, a singer/guitar player duo type of gig, cruise ship gig, etc. - you are generally playing on small to tiny little stages where you can barely bend down and/or turn a round to tweak your sounds. And you're up there for around 4 hours (with breaks) potentially playing 30 to 60 songs. You just want one or two knobs to be able to quickly grab and move on both your amp and your pedals. Also, you don't really get a "sound check". Maybe 15 minutes to set up and get your sound. In reality, this is most working musicians in the world. All pro guitar, bass and keys players own multiple 'combo' amps, be it tube or SS. *Those Fenders, at least from that vid doesn't sound like the 'classic' Deluxe Reverbs that I know. It does sort sound like the current tube re-issues of the DR but honestly those don't sound that good to me and they def don't sound like an early 60s black face deluxe reverb (or twin or vibrolux or princeton). I'll try one. Maybe I can get it to sound better than the dude in that video - ? This post has been edited by klasaine: Jul 24 2019, 02:55 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Differences are very obvious with this video, but he lifts the new digital amp with only a finger

I liked the tube Deluxe better than the digital model and I liked the digital Twin better than the tube example.
Price (and reduced weight) will be a determining factor for sure. *The current (tube) versions of the Fender BF and SF amps don't really sound that much like the 60s and 70s originals. Most of the topology is different. Personally, I prefer the 'Hot Rod' series of newer Fender tube amps, especially the Blues Junior and Hot Rod Deluxe.
