The amp that impressed me most this year was a Fuchs combo - don't even know which it was. Guy at a blues jam running a roadworn strat through it. In the same vein, went to a blues gig where the guitarist was not even very good, but his tone was to die for - Strat + Blues Junior. Mind you that was blues solo guitarists. If you're in a covers band you need something a bit more versatile, and obviously neither of those ideal for rock or metal.

It also sounds great just plugging a guitar in or via pedals, every guitar I have put through it sounds great. Very tweakable too.
Cleans are absolutely lovely, and with the 6L6s it has that bit of headroom that a real Tweed deluxe does not - although I do have a 12AY7 as the first valve in mine. Put a 12AX7 in and wind it up and you are in proper hooligan territory. It also takes pedals well.
Get it with the power scaling, and it's as good as anything I've heard at low volumes.
I've just put a 12AU7 in V2 and it gives just a little more headroom on the clean, it's almost sounds like a Tweed Twin-like crunch but at a lower, more gig friendly volume.
