Trading a Twin Reverb and Champ for a Deluxe

[JCH519]

68 original?

I sold a 1969 Fender Twin Reverb with JBL D120F speakers. Biggest regret!!!!

I have two vintage Twin Reverbs. I can't get rid of them, no one wants to buy them.

I had to take a bit of a hit on the last one I sold (granted, I was moving)- people just aren't into big amps right now.

Ditto when I sold my 69 sftr. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was big and I couldn't justify using it anymore i'd have just kept it.

Great sounding amps, just not very practical.

I somehow wound up with two (and my wife has a PA100, so we basically had three), and was convinced I wouldn't have the space for it where we were moving, or on the truck... whoops. Should've kept it.

68 original?

Unfortunately no.
Speakers are EV Force (I think the originals are the JBLs, right?), and got it retubbed and recapped like a year ago.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I spent some time looking at the few SF fender amps on my local and surrounding CLs and I don't think I'll get a Deluxe Reverb for the same price I could sell my two amps haha. So... it's either a Reissue, patiently wait for a good deal or just keeping my amps (more likely solution).

Princeton, Vibrolux and Pro... I don't know, I like the idea of a 1x12 Fender amp.

My (up until a week or so ago) Twin came with EV 12L speakers (not original, I assume). If the Force ones are anything like those, it'll be one of the best clean sounds out there. (And one of the heaviest combos, too. Too heavy for my aging indie rock back, though, so I replaced them with Jensen neo 12-100s. Sounded good but never the same, sadly).

I'd suggest keeping your amps instead of getting rid of them for a reissue. Stay patient and save up some money for the Deluxe fund, so that you're ready with the cash if a deal ever does materialize. (And then repay the account by selling whatever stuff you feel is no longer needed).

In the meantime, you can also run the Champ through the Twin speakers for a little variety.
