I use it for anything really clean, very punchy with lots of bass. It's very loud and clean at half volume, then starts to break up subttly. Very nice melow tone and almost 0 noise. Great sounding amp! No reverb though.

I've been playing for about 9 years, i've owned a 68' bassman, a 64 Super reverb, and i think this amp is alot more punchey. It honestly shakes my floor! I wish it had a few more options in each channel, but for what it has it sounds deadly! The tremolo is very bbuttery and smooth, doe'snt really cut your note. I wish i could find more of these because i think i'm a big fan!
