Well, they aren't really reissues in any true sense, they are 'vintage modified' with no real attempt to capture the SF thing directly.

But...
wouldn't the "mojos" be considered more reliable - in that they're easier to fix?

Hilarious. These amps used to go for nothing because "nothing could compare to the 60's amps."

i have a silver face twin i bought in 1979 (with jbl e120s)--best amp i've ever had. i've always preferred the look of the silver face to the black face.

Same here, and I always favored '68's BF circuit (90% of the time) and drip edge. I have a Super and Bassman myself. Wouldn't mind a princeton or deluxe though.

Such horse. Just thinking about how cheap every SF was 3 years ago.

I think this is makes a lot of sense.. SF Fenders are really the awesome sound of Fender amps that people have loved through the years. They made a small number of BF amps in the 60s, they made a huge massive number of SF amps in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.. SF Fenders are killer sounding amps. *ducks*

Plus they look better. *ducks again*

I think I prefer Silverface Fenders...

And nothing will ever beat the tone of a cranked SF Super Reverb for me (with a hollowbody of course).

That said, these aren't the same type as I want. Gimme the master volume model with the mid-pull and I would pick one up in no time.
