Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:
Comment:
I was looking for real tube sound at manageable volumes.
I already had Yamaha THR & I tried all the Katanas etc. Somehow I was not satisfied – I felt cheated and the tone was not there.
On the other hand – real tube amps just play too loud to be used at home.
Not this one – built-in attenuator works wonders. The real Fender sound is with you at whatever volume you need. Overdriven tones are on par with the best as well. It even has line-out for recording purposes (the line out is not speaker-emulated which is not a problem for today’s recording software).
The only down-side is the lack of the effect loop but this should not surprise you as it’s stated in the specification.
