I don't think their amps are stock. But I really enjoy the tone they
get out of them and if I could achieve the same tone that would be
great. It is different from the tone I would normally think of being
associated with a Fender amp. Dalibor of the Bambi Molesters prefers
the onboard reverb on his compared to his RI Reverb Tank. I thought
that was interesting. He says it has something to do with the
circuitry of the amp.
And REO Speedwagon rules. Have you had your fill of Toto today? I only
kid.
