Have we been checking out the Fender Jack White Pano Verb videos?

Been watching a bunch of the reviews this morning. I think this could be the most interesting amp Fender has ever made. I'd love to try one. The only thing I don't like is the garish yellow cosmetic touches.





What do you folks think of it?
 
Yeah it's expensive, but the deal-breaker for me is the weight - over 60 lbs. Even a younger version of me would not want to deal with that. Having two speakers, and one of them a 15", will do that I guess.

Looks like fun though, I would love to check one out for a weekend.

I thought about the weight as well. If I bought an amp like that I’d never want to bring it outside the home studio.

When I was younger, I hauled a Fender 410 combo around. which is even heavier than that 15, 10 combo.

I don’t play out anymore. Now, I pause at the thought of hauling a 212 cab to a jam session. Lol! Fortunately, I have amp heads and 112 cabs that are much lighter.
 
At least it’s not just a slightly modified, classic Fender circuit with an inflated price. It’s a truly unique design. That stereo tremolo sounds great.
 
I love Fenders but that amp isn’t for me. I don’t care for 15” speakers, I’m not into reverb enough to want that much control and the OD wasn’t doing much for me. I am still manly enough to move a 60lb amp around but I already own one of those.

I don't think I've ever played through a 15" speaker. I know the Peavey Delta Blues and the Fender Excelsior have them, but I've never tried either one. I don't know of any others off the top of my head. What do you not like about 15" speakers?

They sound too flabby and loose to me with guitar.

There is nothing wrong with preferring a tight bass response. But, that’s not, historically, what Fender has been known for over the years. Fender is known for open back cabinets. The result is a loose sound.

I absolutely love the Fender amp sound. The amps I’ve played with 15’s were a solid state Peavy pedal steel amp and a Victoria with 1x15”. Didn’t really dig them. By contrast I used to play in a joint that had backline and for guitar they had a Victoria 4x10 Bassman which I absolutely loved. Not enough to spend three grand on one though which is what they cost back then.
 
I don't know how many of them they're going to make, but if any of you get to try one please post here to say what you think!
 
I like the sounds but for me they are pretty niche. I'm don't play surf, daddy-o, reverb drenched retro rock. I' listen to that stuff.........occasionally.
