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.
$220 FIRM
