wasn't really impressed with the combo as i think the cab size is a bit too small and sounded a bit boxy.
The head was better but I think it lacks a bit of headroom and volume for a 35 watt amp. not too much of a problem with single coils but even low output PAF type pickups i thought it started to push too early to get that lush clean at gigging volumes.
was hoping it would be a 35 watt CRS but in all honesty i thought it was a bit of a let down.
Plugging into the 50 watt CRS straight after ( same 2x12 cab ) only confirmed that. totally different experience, much bigger wider sound with more detail, massive dynamic range too all at similar volume, but then it is twice the price, and weight!..
Worth trying one out when things re open just dont plug into the CRS after....
phenomenal amp but I felt guilty about spending a small fortune on an amplifier..
Was also worried about taking £4K worth of amp out of the house for rehearsals or gigging so I had to let it go.
Great clean / slightly pushed platform, but lacked the drive character I was after. It was a 6V6 driven 20W version, and I should have gone for higher output. Given recent upgrades, I'm seriously looking at a CRS 50W head, or a 2020 TS-1. Should be more like what I want to hear

Why did I not know about this?!
It takes pedals incredibly well into the front end which really surprised me. I always assumed I'd have kept one of either the SV20 or GF to use as a dirty/overdriven setup but I A/B'd both of them against the TR with a bunch of different dirt pedals; both amps are sold. I was very lucky and picked this up mint from eBay for £1900, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again at full price.
I run mine through a Marshal 2061CX with Celestion G12-65's and have been long mulling over the decision to pull the trigger on the TR 2x12 vertical cab.
Having also played both the Bloomfield drive and the CR, I would say that either of those is an immense amp in their own right. But once price is factored in, and considering that you're upgrading from a Fender Hot Rod (also great amps), I think the Studio Signature is the best bang for your buck.
But that speaker only has an output 97db. It was superb with an EV 12l 200 watt speaker but couldn't be bothered lugging that about.
So I sold the amp. At that time I wasn't able to switch speakers myself. I can do that myself now. So wished I'd experimented with more speakers before selling. But have a victory v40 deluxe now which I like lots.
