Sunn Amplifiers – the brand used by Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and countless doom metal heroes – has been revived with the help of Fender (www.guitarworld.com)

I'm not too knowledgeable about Sunn amps, but from what I've seen, Fender set themselves up for a flop. It's not only NOT the amp that doom metal people wanted, it's also extremely expensive at $3,200 on a limited run.

I guess you mean the Doomers wanted a Model T instead of the S100? I'm also not very excited about the S100. However the beta lead/bass are also popular stoner/doom amps (Red Fang uses them for the whole band) and at $800 those are priced less than what vintage ones seem to go for on Reverb these days.
