(new release of classic, 1965 twin .... 100% vacuum tube powered)

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.

I would say a more, instant response. Most electronic guitar amps
sound 'sterile" to me.
Here's what i have:
Fender Blues Deville from the 90's Beautiful tone. Only difference
between it and a Hot Rod Deville is the HRDV has overdrive and the BDV
doesn't.
