But after what I've seen the last few years in shops they're going to have do do a damn good job to earn my respect and confidence again. We're in another CBS-type period again, IMO. 'Economics' be damned...if a product is sub-standard I won't buy it. Having a 'Fender' logo on it isn't going to make any difference.
(Personally, I'm waiting to check out the new Orange Tiny Terror combo that's coming out this month. Too bad, Fender.)

I think that Weber has totally "outFender'd" Fender.
Just have someone "build" You the kit in the power range you need.
And You'll have an Amp that's a keeper for cheaper.
