You bet, that is what I plugged in. Nice!
I really like the sounds. And it does sound really good opened up a bit. I thought it sounded good at low volume, and it does, but after playing it opened up and going back down to low volume, you certainly miss that extra ooomph.
The 4x10 speaker set up on the Concert gives a nice tightness that I noticed, and I think it is clearer in the high end than the Peavey. Lots of mid range warmth too. You can tell it is an "in between" transitional design between the Tweeds and the BF amphs. That nice tight bottom end can spank and move some air.
My instructor Chip, who owns a Vibrolux, and owns a Bassman head, and has owned a number of vintage Fender amphs states the following, has the tight bottom like the BFs, not as much chime, and a good chunk of Tweed growl, though not all the way dialed up on the growl dial like a tweed. I like the sound, and he tends to as well. Nice and quiet, without many of the hisses, pops, snarls and other various noises he is used to from his vintage Fenders. Condition seems amazingly well preserved. He says the tone reminds him of his vibrolux when his amph tech has tightened things up a bit for him.
The Vibrato is very reminiscent of a roto vibe to his ear, and we both think it is darned cool. The thing to think about is whether it is practical as my main amph. I don't have to decide now, and can just play with it a while. So that is as far as I am thinking on it tonight. But if it stays, the Peavey might have to go. Hmm. The Peavey is a lot of amph in small, more modern box. Ok, not gonna worry about that now.
