nek	Re: reissue deluxe reverb The DR reissue missed the mark. Everybody drops the ball once in a while, even Fender. I can't quite get over the cynicism implied in the superficiality of the reissue. For example, what's up with the unconnected polarity switch? But that's a personal issue... Looking at it pragmatically, I think the reissue could be saved if bought at a good used price with enough money left over to do the mods these guys are talking about. I agree with all of them except I wouldn't clip the bright cap with a Mojo M12V30 speaker installed (too dull). Don't forget to try all kinds of different manufacturer's tubes. I am pretty well convinced Leo matched tubes by manufacturer to certain positions in his amp circuit designs. Leo did this. You should too. Good Luck. Have Fun.
