Fender Super 60, opinions?

[Jero]

Any one played one of these? I've heard good things on other forums. One popped up locally for $299, and I'm considering getting rid of my Ampeg gvt15 for it. It's got twice the wattage, which will come in handy when I start playing shows again soon. Also, the drive sounds really good, to me, in the video I watched. Plus, it has the excellent cleans...but so does the gvt.

Can't go wrong with $299, can you?
I mean, that just seems like a steal. I haven't heard one personally so I have no comment but here's a good deal on a decent brand that seems to get favorable reviews. We're talking' tube head under $300 bucks that doesn't say PEAVEY KVLT some place on it.

edit: not knocking the kvlt. hail vtm.

Haven't played the super but I'm a general fan of the tube models in the red knob series. My first serious tube rig was a red knob twin driving the stock speakers and a 2x10 bass cab....

What to expect? Lots of headroom, dirt that you'll either hate or find usable but not mind blowing, switchable power options (depending on the model) that can be useful for lower volume applications but don't offer exponential volume drop, heavy, probably not worth fixing if you have a catastrophic failure.

If you can play before you pay and find that you dig it, great. $300 is a fair price but not an earth shattering deal.

I play a super rack. What you wanna know? Sounds awesome, great cleans, nice reverb and takes pedals like a champ.
