MGR/Orestes « Fender Cyber-Twin »
Published on 07/18/04 at 15:00There was a one day sale at GC so I went to take a look. The sale price tag of Fender Cyber-Twin caught my eyes and I was ready to buy. Until....
When I listened to samples of Cyber-Twin at the Fender web site, they sounded very good. It has many different Fender amps sound.
At the CG store in San Jose I inspected the two amps visually. Both were dirty and dusty, they look used or returned, no cover, no caster wheels, no pedals, one amp has broken glass in it. I did not bother to test them. Then I went to GC in San Francisco. They have three Cyber Twins and I tested them all. They all sound horrible. I was very disappointed with Fender!!! BTW, the accessories of the 3 amps were also missing. Why do they sell defective amps? These amps should be re-called, fixed, and sold as refurbished!
Cyber-Twin looks durable and nice looking but the quality is very poor.
Cyber-Twin is not cheap. I know Fender has other models like Cyber-Deluxe and Cyber-Champ. I heard there are problems with them too. I will not buy any of these amps. Meantime, I will continue to use my Fender Deluxe 90 DSP (6 months) and my Vox AD60VTX (1 month). I bought them brand new and I have not encountered any issues with my two amps so far. Only time can tell and I will let you know.
