First of all that's a great price.For all the info on the new one and how it compares to the old one, go here and click where it says "want to lear more? CLIKC HERE" Then click on the video option and check it out.
www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2290000010In my opinion........The best thing about the new SE is it has 2 speaker jacks so you can run a deck. That also happens to be my one real bitch about the CT1. The other stuff they added is cool but I already have more than I want with my CT. Plus the new one talks to you sometimes. I think I would grow to hate that. Would I trade up for free? Most likely. Would I pay the difference? Hell NO!
Below is specs and a brief review I posted about my CT when I first got it. Below that is the specs of the SE. Since then I have nothing but good things to say about her still. I can think of twice I showed up to practice without my fx pedals and more than gotten by with the presets on the twin. I also have made a handful of my own settings on it, not near as many as one should that owns a CT. But I like to keep it simple. After all is said and done I usualy find a few really clean presets that model a Fender Twin Reverb or a Marshal stack or a Dual rectifier and let my pedals do the rest. But now and again I just use what Fender sent with it and am once again in love with the sounds I can pull right out of the amp. It's great to be this sopiled as to which sound I like at any given time. So spoiled I get lazy and get in a bit of a rutt. Then I switch from pedal fx to amp fx or blend in both or just go clean. It,s great.

Its the best amp I have ever owned. I can't say enough about this amp, but I will say it a Rock & Roll MONSTER!
On the 4th of July I got to hear my Cyber Twin up next to my dad's vintage Fender Twin Reverb, our good friend Randy's Marshal JCM 200 DSL 401 Combo, a new guitar player (at least to our jam) and his Line 6 Vetta II Combo and a Crate GLX 212 Combo. My Cyber Twin held her own at every turn and then some. I also had the rare oppertunity to hear 2 other trusted players though my rig (Dad and Randy) and was impressed by what they pulled out of my Cyber Twin. I don't know how many of those presets I will actualy ever use, but it seems that the more I play the thing the more I love it!
I may own other amps down the road but I can't imagine myself ever selling this gem of an amp.
