WR,
The Weber Tube Reverb G15 is really quite good...it definitely works for someone
like me
who wanted a hand-wired Fender reverb but didn't want the vintage price. Mine
even has
the lacquered tweed finish and cream chicken head knobs, which really make it
look sharp.
Honestly, I had a lot of problems with my two reissues '62 Fender reverbs - both
had
serious radio interference problems. The Weber doesn't have such issues.
Good luck, I hope you will review the Weber kit for the group once you get it
built (or, if it
was built for you).
Best!
Gavin
