Yeah the reissues sound good...but the speakers are crap. They're made to sound good at store room volume. Then you get out and turn them up and they sound awful. Another thing I don't like is the pcb. If one of the traces goes bad...that's it for the amp. That's why I'd rather have a mid 70's handwired DR over a reissue BFDR.

But, put some good tubes and a good speaker and they're decent sounding rigs. Nothing like the real deal IMHO.

Yes, mine is a real 1965 BFDR. Thanks BOBBO!!
