Deluxe Reverb Reissue - Hiss

[TimmyP1955]

Fender has used the tube cage for some time now in most if not all models. I think it's so folks can't touch hot tubes then sue the manufacturer for making an unsafe product. (And when the amp case is stacked wheels-up in the truck, the footswitch can't hit the power tubes and break them.)

Yes, I think the cage is a new-ish safety requirement.
