Sure. And as it relates to the amps referenced in the OP — these Fender Tone Master amps are just one of a handful of ways one can obtain that iconic mid-60s Fender tone — each aimed at a different buyer with a different budget, different needs, and a different mindset when it comes to guitar amplification.

I’d also suggest that modern technological advancements have made everything good about those eras of guitar more accessible to anyone than ever before, at a variety of price points and feature sets.
