Perhaps you should consider the new Fender amp which uses tubes and DSP to
give the sound of 100 top amp tones, it will be released at Namm.
There is comment at www.fenderforum.com by Ritchie Fliegler about it.
A public statement is to be released in June.
It is claimed to be far superior to Line 6 type products
There is a Fender email list unclebill@fender.com by Morgan Ringworld
and I saw another Fender one today www.fender.com
