Agree 100%! I absolutely Love my 1965 non-verb. I've debated selling it and buying a 'verb model, but every time I plug my '52RI Tele into it, or my Strat, or my Les Paul, I instantly remember why I love the thing so much. It's the most beautiful clean tone I've ever heard: chimey, but with a gorgeous sag due to the tube rectifier that allows for loads of spank and snap and twang. I've yet to use it in the studio, but I'm willing to bet it's going to record amazing as well. I was psyched to see Mike Campbell using two of them on the last Petty tour. Ever since I bought mine, I've been surprised that more players don't use one. And best of all, they are THE vintage amp bargain out there. I got mine a few years back for $350, and that was with all NOS tubes and an extra set of NOS 6V6s included. I'm sure you can pickup a blackface now for less than $800: a steal, imho.
