Say what you want about the Red Knob Fenders but they've been played by a lot of pros over the years (including Clapton who recently donated a Super 60 and a Red Knob Twin to the Crossroads Antigua Auction at Butterfields).
I don't need to go into the details here - there are lots of conversations about these amps on the web - but I always say the same thing about Red Knobs: treat them like a SINGLE CHANNEL amp and you won't be disappointed. Just find a clean solid tone that is mostly based on pushing the ouput tubes and get your distortion with a pedal or by adjusting your guitars volume. That's it. BTW these are heavy little amps and they do get loud.
BTW - Take that Crate speaker and throw it in the trash - get a Jensen or a Celestion Vintage 30 and I guarantee this amp witll rock.

Here's my Fender Super 60 amplifier. It's all tube and made in the USA (MIA). Works perfectly but has some tolex wear and minor tolex loss, two knob shafts are slightly bent (does not affect performance) and a 90 watt (180 watt peak) @ 8 Ohms 12" Crate replacement speaker.
I no longer have a rehearsal space and it's far to loud for my apartment...plus I'm a keyboard guy.

- Fender 1982 (rivera) Twin Reverb Ii Amp In Marina Del Rey For $500

- Fender Stage Lead Ii Solid State Combo In Hollywood For $100
I am not recommending we all rush out and buy Fender 1980's solid state amps. However, that said, this is a good deal on a big powerful and well reviewed SS Amp. The Stage Lead II's came out in 1985-86 and these are big heavy (80 lbs) LOUD stage...
- Crate Vintage Club 50 Tube 2x12 Usa Amp In La For $250
This is a heck of a lot of 2 x 12 tube amp for only $250. I've seen and heard these used as gigging amps several times - replacing the speakers and one or two of the preamp tubes makes a huge bnoticeable improvement in tone as well. Per the recommendation...
