SOUNDS
For what this amp does it sound very good. This is going to be an amp for the pop or country player. There is no high gain in this amp what so ever. You have to crank the amp up for the tubes to start cooking, but cooking might be an over statement. This is going to distort too much. It will be very mild and not much too it. But no that that's a bad thing just a certain low gain low saturation style.
This is an amp that any guitar will sound goo with. You will get a solid chimy sparkle tone with a Fender Tele or Strat. You will get a good blues and thicker tone with a Gibson Les Paul. This amp takes pedals very well, so a nice analog delay will match quite well with this amp.
OVERALL OPINION
This is a basic amplifier from Fender. You will not get a whole lot of features but just straight ahead tone for days. this amp is a solid tonally grand amplifier with a tone of character and warmth. AT new these amps come in at around $900. A think that is a bit on the high side for single channel tube amp.
I would recommend this amp to the person who knows what he is looking for. This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea since things now a days need to have more features. This amp is going to be for the more classic simple type guitar player.
