I just got a frontman 15 to play with some as the twin is to heavy and the bronc at five watts I thought might not have enough oomph but althouhg the sound is the same there is something missing, only a guitarist would understand this.

Mine is a 68 with the drip edge. It is the single most pedal friendly amp i have ever played. For gain, i throw a TS-9 with 808 mod in front, and even Jimmy Page would be jealous. Balls to the wall!

I hear that the $175 I paid for it is a total steal!" The Bronco is the same amp as a Vibro-Champ, not a Princeton. But, you are right about the primce, Broncos are selling in the mid-300s for originals in good to mint condition. Try it with a Tube Screamer. Tone all day and friggin night!

I doubt they'll sound better than the vintage tube equipped one though. By the way, I hear the newer transistor-equipped Broncos are not bad either.

I hear that the $175 I paid for it is a total steal! I'm excited about using this amp for everything from clean to metal. So far I LOVE the thing. It even sounds good with distortion pedals, which I'm usually very much against.

I also remember seeing this awesome guitarist in a band called "Atomic Rock Band" in a bar in Puerto Rico. The tone was amazing. He was using the tiny Fender Bronco (although it might have been the similar "Blues Junior" mic'd up. I was turned into a believer of small amps even for live shows that very day.
