That would be Fillmore of Japan, since that is whom Dana is assembling Mosrite guitars for.

I doubt it would be that little amp as Artie already has them for sale at his store. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a real Mosrite reproduction amp drafted from the original schematics minus the problems. Where's Howard Dumble? ;)

Chemo; I love those Quad reverb amps. I had one years ago and it is the only amp I truly wish I still had.

ok,nothing more to find out...I bought the 65 ri custom twin rev 15,in town, mint condition,sounds good with the Ranger(the "craftman" made an adjustment to my trem. arm),didn't play so much and not at level after 3,but I see everything I need .
Heavy-heavy,but my 76 twin rev is heavier!
it's 20 years that I carry the twin rev. up and down,so my destiny is'nt a low wattage-weight amp!!!
keep on "drivin' guitar"..enjoy like a child...

I've been using a 90's Vibroverb r.i., which has been pretty extensively upgraded. But I have always found the key to getting that really splashy, wet reverb sound, like Don got on WDR '64, was an outboard reverb unit. The Fender reissues have to be retubed and modified considerably, to nail it pretty close, but this is where the vintage stuff really shines. Once you play through a real early 60's Fender outboard reverb, you'll be spoiled. That's how you really nail Don's tiki tiki sound. Nokie's lead sound is a whole 'nuther story

I really like your "needles and pins" version :D
