That's one thing that's always frustrated me about analogue solid-state amps too - they almost never do the job properly and use both a decent speaker and cab, it's always some budget or at best mid-range speaker in a particle-board or MDF cab... so is it any wonder they don't sound as good as valve amps?

Fender should expand the range with a Tonemaster Brownface Princeton, Tonemaster Tweed Champ and Tonemaster Tweed Deluxe.
If they could nail them and price them sensibly, it could become a killer range.
Blonde/Brownface Bassman, Princeton, maybe Vibrolux (the early Dire Straits amp).
Tweed Bassman, Deluxe, maybe Bandmaster (the Who’s Next amp, among others).
They wouldn’t even need new power supply and power amp modules, all those models could be done with either the 200W ‘Twin’ set or the 100W ‘Deluxe’ set, although an even lower power one (probably around 60W) for the Princetons and Tweed Deluxe might save a bit of money.
In some ways that would be the final nail in the ‘classicisation’ of the electric guitar, but frankly we’ve been heading that way for at least twenty years and it would do it properly...
And lose the Tonemaster badge on the front, it isn’t necessary and detracts slightly.

It does look as if the Tonemaster one might be pinned on - if so it should come off cleanly without leaving holes in the grille cloth.
That's part of the point - if these amps are really that good, then they don't need to advertise what they are or apologise for it - they're just the new version of the Deluxe Reverb etc.

Sounded very natural, and its nice to have the volume/output knob to set the levels.
what OD's are you using with it? Do you find the normal channel has a better tone the vibrato channel?
