I own this amp for a year now and I love it. The clean sound is wonderful, warm and sparkly at the same time. The second channel is just crunch, no high-gain distortion, but perfect for blues or classic rock. The amp takes pedals very well. Most of the time I use a T-Rex Dr. Swamp (Tube Sreamer like) in front of the clean channel and it sounds great. Reverb is good as well. Be aware: This amp is loud. I never gigged it more than 3 1/2 out of 12 on the volume knob.
I have this amp for about a year now. It is so great I cannot believe it. The bass is deep and powerful, feels like velvet. Only problem IT IS FAR TOO LOUD FOR MY SPACE!!!! I use a THD but it really reduces level only beyond the 16db setting and then, the sound is like a transistor amp. Still, this amp looks so great and sounds so great ......

This is a great amp, I have had mine for a couple of years and the tone still blows me away!
The best amp out of the 5 I have...
oops! meant to give it a 4 star rating
A reaslistic and accurate review, i liked the comment about being able to relic the tweed. Great idea!
I found the Fender Eminence speaker a little muddy at times, so i replaced it with a Celestion Gold Alnico, Tone Heaven.
Have just ordered a 1X12 extn speaker cab from Fender new this year at NAMM delivery i think in May.
