Re: The best Fender Silverface

mono_tones_1 - 13 Jan 2004 03:43:35

what they said...
however, the 135UL models are pretty simple to mod into a 100watt non-
UL circuit, which makes it a pretty decent surf amp and gets rid of
those piercing highs.
It does however NOT turn it into a 100w twin, and is only recommended
for lame guys who
a) have not enough money for a decent amp
b) can get a beat up 135 twin for very little
c) suffer from severe soldering iron fetisjism
... like me.
