Classic 30 cleans sound good.. Not sure about reliability issues, I read somewhere they tend to heat up more than the usual tube amps. (??)
No objection sa clean ng Fender amps, I love my Deluxe Reverb Reissue.
I still own a Classic 30 which I bought back in 2005. Good price for the money. Back then it was only Php 25k brand new sa Audiophile. Main gig amp ko yun nung may banda pa ako, ngayon nagagamit ko nalang siya pag nagbabakasyon ako sa Pinas (once a year). Tatlong beses palang ako nagpalit ng tubes, no biasing required dahil auto bias yung classic 30, basta matched quad yung tubes.
About the heating issues, lahat naman ng tube amps umiinit. Mas obvious lang yung sa classic 30 kasi grill lang ang protection para hindi aksidenteng mahawakan yung nagbabagang tubes.
Reliability wise, the controls are starting to crackle due to lack of use.
