New for this generation of guitarists is the Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb 1×12 combo, retaining all the similar Rectifier series features and more.

The Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb Professional Tube Amplifier, built from 1995 to 2013, was part of Fender’s Professional Series, designed by the Custom Shop and built in the Fender factory.

This example dates to 2006 and is in very good condition.
