rediculously overprice them, just like they did with Jags & Mustangs.
but they'd have to go the extra mile on this one, and change it from a Squier Tele, to a Fender Tele!....and then get a bunch of famous rockstars to play them
i love the fucking one handed vibrato this guy is doing 10 seconds into the video.
who needs a fuckin wammy bar when you can pull off that shit?

I know, what the hell. The new transformer and speaker together probably cost more than the goddamned amp did and made it sound like a farty piece of trash.

Aye, I looked at mods for them and they all sounded arse, they just add more gain. The stock one is great through a cab and not bad through the 6" speaker.

yeah i dont understand why you want more gain out of this amp. overdrive pedal, anyone?
the stock one sounds cool. if i had some extra scrilla, i would consider picking one up for jammin at home.
it just irks me that the corksniffers have to add all this crap to an already primo amp to get more gain and shit. jeez.
i might replace the tubes, and i might consider a speaker swap (and thats if i was really bored) but thats it.

It's amazing how close the original and reissue sound given that they're completely different circuits.
I liked the Champ 600 I played - it's really nice for just strumming or plunking out some chord-melody stuff. TGP asshats have to try to make everything into a Marshall or Mesa - ruins it for everyone else cause guys like that drive the market. It's almost impossible to find a clean sounding tube amp these days - even the new DRRI start to distort at 3 with a tele.

That's not because of thegearpage, it's because people like to get the best out of Small Tube Amps (i.e. power tube breakup). If you want Clean headroom, try looking at something that actually... has some?
The Deluxe Reverb is a 22 watt amp. It has never been a clean machine, hence why I like it.

I wasn't keen on the baja but think the opposite of the classic vibe in the short time I've had it...
.... reasons... neck too fat... gaps at the side of the bridge... over complex pickup selections... and was more money than a used jag which I was also after at the time...
Everythin' mentioned above is rectified in the classic vibe... obviously heavily based on opinion of course...

If you think the Baja switching system is complicated, you must have a fucking 'mare tying your shoelaces. It's an extra position at 4 which is a series combination and then a push switch for the two "both" pickup selection positions to flip the phase of the neck pickup.
