    DeVille 410

    My opinion, but it's my opinion, is that the only good thing is the clean. It is, certainly, more expensive of how much it is worth. A button to add Gain, called More Drive.

    '65 Deluxe Reverb

    The reissue of the Black Face, a legendary Fender amp, and it doesn't disappoint. Vibrato and Reverb, with dedicated controls. The 12" speaker is a perfect replica of the original component.

    Vibro Champ XD

    Fender made an excellent job. A 5-Watt jewel, perfect to study and complete, with a good DSP, a speaker emulator and an 8" Special Design.
