Fender amps? What have you owned?

They were the last two amps I bought and only I own:
  • Mustang I w/ the 8" speaker bought in 2012
  • Blues DeVille 2x12 bought in '94 or '95
The later hasn't been plugged in more than a decade...

0 but not for a lack of trying. It's just always been the case that something else won out in the end of that amp quest.
 
1966 Bassman
1970 Deluxe Reverb (the only actual "good" amp I still own)
1974 Deluxe Reverb
1974 Super Reverb
a handful of Frontman and Mustang practice amps for the studio.

Always liked their cleans. But...when you need some dirt from the amp they're really not it.
That's not what they do.

I don't 100% agree, but I love that Marshalls essentially started out trying to copy Fenders, but couldn't get the recipe right. Instead of it being a failure, they created another awesome voice for the electric guitar. Marshalls are generally the inverse of Fenders. MESA/Boogie and Dumble were essentially trying to offer both the Fender cleans and Marshall dirt, but they also became other colors in the palette.

The Fender dirt is a different thing than Marshall dirt. Obviously far less gain, but still a voice I love.
