This is one of the great Fender amps. Famous for Mark Knopfler’s “Sultans of Swing” recording this is a perfect amp for recording or small gig applications. More power and headroom than a Deluxe but nice and light to carry around with a single 12″ speaker. Many modern speakers will sound better than the Oxfords but a good original speaker (if you can find one) sounds great too. The tremolo circuit is lush and complex. Many of the original amps need new caps to bring the trem back to full depth. This amp can easily become your favorite for many applications…. unless you do metal…. then just get a bigger amp.
