Amp regrets?

[Powdered Toast Man]

Man that's disappointing to read! I have only had experience with the older Vibro-Kings from back in the 90's when Bruce Zinky was running the Fender Custom shop. One of the absolute best sounding amps I have ever plugged into from anybody! Also were built like tanks and had NO Chinese junk parts inside. Sounds like the later ones really took a dive in quality control and materials!! Sign of the times unfortunately :banghead:

Yep. When you look at the transformers and they've got "TAI CHANG" labels on the sides, what does that tell you? Plus the innards - all grey IC capacitors. Basically the same stuff in their Hot Rod amps.
