Kirk is clearly an old soul given his playing style/technique. As I listen to his licks, I wonder who he learned from. I'm 70 now, and know his sound from back in my earlier years. It's so nice to hear it again; it puts a smile on one's face. Thanks for that honey backed tone and groove. All the best.

Cat I’m not even saying they’re shilling for Fender or anything. I have a SuperLead for my main amp to perform with, but I have a Fender Stage 100, as a backup. It’s a solid state, and cost me I think $140. I keep it because it’s small and light, and I know how to use it. But the headroom isn’t there, and I have to use petals to get it really humming. When they can make a dRRI that has all the features of this amp, and keep the tubes, with a switch to go tube or no tube. I’d pay an extra $200 for that. You know they could do it, but then no one would buy anymore new dRRI’s. 🤣

@@CorbCorbin Kirk uses a Katana Mini as his practice amp so doubt he's too obsessed w/ the tone wars, but in general professional players aren't who this is targeted for. It's for the gigging musician that has to lug, fix, care for an amp himself. Someone who wants 95% of the same sound, but would benefit from all the other benefits this kind of amp has as compared to the original.

I love Kirk's style: he always plays with a blues feeling, and doesn't try to overplay to show-off his technical ability. That stratocaster's color is so pretty, but I'm not sure what it is: maybe it's "mystic seafoam", "race green", or "ocean turquoise" perhaps? It's more intense than either "surf green" or "seafoam green". I love that color!!!

I am thinking of buying one; Fender read my mind when they developed this product. Original look, lightweight , attenuator, no changing tubes, all power & circuitry dedicated to doing one thing well - the sound of a deluxe reverb. I like simplicity. Many people say that modeling amps have come a long way. But there are two things I am trying to wrap my mind around. First - can this amp be fixed if it breaks down? Or do you just throw it out and have to buy another? Second - (see 4:35) I hate that this amp is a "Product of China".
