Cyber Twin

Yeah, I tried that amp out and really dug it. Not only are all the amp voicings very nice, but the effects are great, and can be far more subtle than many other effects processors I've seen for guitar. But they are having a tough time selling them, as indicated by the price, it's in the same price range as a twin reissue, around 1100$. It nails the fender clean tone, but I think a lot of buyers (like me) are skeptical that all those mechanical parts will last, and that support for repairs will still be there in 5 years or 10 years. Whereas, it's easy to fix an old deluxe or twin or Super... Also, I didn't like the lack of power tubes, even though it sounded really great to me, the solid state power amp turned me off, especially for around 1200$.
 
Re: Cyber Twin

Actually they have been selling like hot cakes. They were on back order for quite a while, though I'm guessing they have caught up now. I've wondered too about the motorized knobs and stuff wearing out, but Fender swears that they will last. If I remember correctly, it took Fender several years to build and test the amp before releasing it. I trust the amp, even though some of the early ones had faulty tubes.. Solid state, tube, hybrid or whatever this amp has the tone(s)!
