I have the lizard skin green one it is a bad boy I’ve played on albums and been on tour and I can tell you I’ve had many of fender amps and the black production line of the but the tone the green one rocks ! It’s custom shop .

Ron,

Wow I took mine to guitar center to try a guitar out all the guitar guys were crowded around me going what the h—l ? They were all trying to get me to leave it there it smoked all The amps we plugged into incredible tone very loud and very versatile if your a guy into tone and not in little weenie amps that only have tone on 10 ! This amp I have is the sea foam lizard skin and the custom shop celestian speakers it a beast durable and solid ! It will take all you give very much worth the 2800 i spent and it took me a long time to find it they are rare ! The colored ones are custom shop not the black one no comparison hands down it’s a bad boy .

Ron,

The prosonic in my opinion is a turdcake. I own a beautifully modded Vibrolux (1980-81). Side by side there’s no comparison. I’ve probably owned about 10 or so different amps. The best being my Vibrolux, followed by a Carvin, etc. Although the Prosonic is a turdcake stock, I do believe it could be modded to be a quality, gig-worthy amp. But considering it’s weight, to me it is not worth the trouble to mod. This amp was given to me–myself, I would have never bought it. Needs a lot of fixin’ up!

Rob,

Sorry my Prosonic head and matching cabinet is rated at 16 ohms. The cabinet made by Fender is loaded with Vintage 30’s… though it does have a switchable impedance on the back from 4/8/16 but my Prosonic combo amp does not.

Jimmie,

When using 8-ohm speakers: two 8-ohm speakers in series equal 16 ohms, and two 8-ohm speakers in parallel equal 4 ohms. Fender never made any 16-ohm amps!
