Idiot shop I bought it from packed it in the worlds largest box (which exceeds max size for shipping via YouShop), and they still haven't confirmed if a smaller box is shipped in that they'll repack for me (YouShop that is). They seem to reply to my emails once every 2-3 days, and you can't call them direct. A little boy waits.
I think Bender had exactly the same problem with one of his purchases. Took ages, but they eventually repacked it in a smaller box and it finally got through.

I had a problem with Youshop where they measured the item wrong and kept telling me it was oversize. Took 2 months and I paid for the fastest option. Good luck!
I've never liked the Silverface look. Finally played one yesterday. Screw the cosmetics, this is the amp I need.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

What was it about it that floated your boat?
There's something special about the combination of Fender guitars and amps.
Specifically in this case: My Korinacaster is a fine instrument and I love its OD tones. But there is something not quite engaging about its cleans through most of the amps I've tried; they always need some help from a Klon type clean boost.
Plugged directly into the Custom 68 however, it sounded gorgeous. Turn the volume down and it gave sweet acoustic strumming tones. Wind it up and you get the full range of Tele snap, snarl and roar. The two channels give you the ability to run direct to one and via a pedalboard to the other (A-B-Y switch required).
But mostly, it's because I could happily plug directly into the amp and play all day. Have always wanted an amp like that.

I was in the same boat..... I loved the look of the blackface reissue but when I heard the silverface one... in a different class.
still makes me grin every time I use it
