    Not me. I'm seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these. I LOVE the sound of the 6V6 tube pushed to slight breakup. They resonate at a different frequency than an EL-84, it's a g-o-o-d sound.
    Heck, you could always run it through a 2x12 (or bigger) cab if you wanted.
    Or run it through a Hotplate and use the line out into a bigger amp or PA system. Yep, I think I might...
    I need one, no..... I want one...... hey, it's a Fender..... yep.....

    It doesn't sound boxy to me and the bass is there in a balanced way.

    It doesn't have a deep full shake the timbers bottom.

    The volume is perfect for what i use it for & it sounds really nice at low volumes.

    So far, I mainly use the low input and push it with pedals if I want full saturation.

    The Twin Tube Classic works great for this.

    I'm still trying to decide if it is worth exchanging it in an attempt to get one with less buzz.

    I've decided to keep it. I love the little sucker. I've been trying several NOS tubes in it. Well worth the money.

    Here's a heads up for all those that want to change the 12AX7 preamp tube.

    The metal casing is glued on. Just wiggle it for O, say 15-20 minutes, & it'll twist off.
