Fender Bassman 300 vs. Ampeg SVT-CL

For what it's worth, the SVT CL, which is currently manufactured in Viet Nam, is really nothing to write home about. It's hardly worthy of the SVT badge.
There is a late model U.S. made SVT CL that is every bit as good as the early model SVT. I believed Among ceased production of those in 2006. I have one currently, and I have inspected every square inch of it inside and out and I will attest that it is flawlessly assembled with all high quality parts. A great amp that I'll never part with.

Ampeg amps haven't been manufactured in Vietnam since 2008. And BTW, newer Ampegs sound identical to older ones.
