In my research of guitar amplification, I came across this quote from Teemu Kyttälä in his "Solid-State Guitar Amplifiers":
“…… what is less well known is that behind the cosmetic exterior of the supposedly classic amplifier might lie something completely different. Take for example the Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120: There are at least eight or nine different versions of this respected amplifier – most of them quite different from another. The “Cubeâ€â€¦. is another praised amplifier line-up but one should know that there are at least two “versions†of them as well – one from the 80’s and one from the late 90’s. You have likely heard that Peavey Bandit is a good amplifier: Peavey has made about 10 different “Bandit†amplifiers using various topologies. Which one of them is the praised Bandit? This just goes to show that amplifiers having an identical model name are not necessarily identical at all and in worst cases the designs are very far from each other.â€

Same goes for tube amps. Fender Reissues vs originals.
I defy you to change a component in a Reissue quicker than in an original

I played through a borrowed Jazz Chorus and really liked the sound. When I tried a "new one" with the same guitar, I could not get anything I like
d from the amp. I guess this explains why.
