Fender Tube amp question

Does anyone know if the 65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue amp is point to point?

 

I have the Blues Deluxe and just finished tracking down and replacing a leaky coupling cap... wich made the amp sound as though is was frying sausages... it's repaired now but the experience was miserable and I'm thinking about buying the DRRI.. but only if it's point to point!

It is not a PTP amp, it uses a circuit board. If you think that will impact the sound, then replace V2 (if you use the vibrato input) with an NOS 7025, set the bias to 20.9mA, install a Jensen P-12R, and put in an NOS set of 6V6 RCA gray plates (you don't have to go to the expense of blackplates). Then listen to the amp with some of the originals with your eyes closed.

 

You tell me if PTP makes a difference.
