I wonder if that "stiffness" is from the Italian reissue Jensens. From my reading, the Italian reissues are stiffer and brighter than the original Jensens.kenposurf wrote:Good points Mark..I also owned one of their deluxes, bassmans and a 3x10 bandmaster..also a reverberato. All very well made but stiff...maybe it takes time for the cab's and speakers to break in. I need something smaller than a showman for smaller gigs...I punched the button so a review will be forthcoming ...sharkboy wrote:I've tried a few Victoria amps and they haven't bowled me over. They are made the way Fenders wish they were but they always seem a bit colder and don't seem to have the same reverb sound.
I have an acquaintance who felt the same way as me and I think even owned a couple of Victoria amps, but flipped when he heard one of the newer ones. He bought it and played through it for a while and loved it, but he's back to his THD Flexi and various Dr. Z amps now.
