I wondered why this was not done earlier.
Do the "experts" say this sounds the same as the 1965 version?
I don't know. *Sounds the same to me, but I am no expert.
It has not been redesigned. *Just re-released as a product. *Same
cabinet
design, same Jensen "special" speakers, same tube pre-amps, reverb
drivers
and 6L6 output stage.
I have another, solid state Fender "Stage 1000" that has digital signal
processing, etc. * Sounds ok, but not like the tube twin.
There isn't a chip, processor or digital circuit in it.

Does it have the original tube rectifier, or the later replacement?
Hold on .... I'll check ....
Must be a solid state (brick) rectifier. * It has 10 tubes total ..... (4)
6L6's, *(2) 12AT7's, *(4) 12AX7's.
Ah - now you ruined it.
Solid state - bleeeech.... * :)
What does a full wave, solid state bridge recifier have to do with the sound
of the preamps and power amps?
All it does is supply clean B+ *and bias voltages to the grids? * I'll bet
the solids are cleaner, DC wise, than the tubes.
Never mind - obviously, you wouldn't understand.

Clean is one way to look at it.. Hendrix sounds like ****, digital.
And I might not be able to listen to two amps and tell you which one
is analog, but I bet almost every one I hear that I "like" is..
