you know, I picked up one of these little combo's to haul to work or to practice on at low volumes at the house in front of the TV. Here is a couple of impressions
1)- if you need something light and portable to play at low volumes this is perfect.
2)-if you want some effects on tone but dont want to disconnect all your pedals and chords just to practice in another room or other location this is a good cheap solution.
3)-it actually has real tube tone........not pristine Fender Twin tone.........but real Fender tube tone at a practice volume level without having to go to a solid state amp.
4)-I would not really replace the tiny speaker in this thing, it works just fine for this little amp at this volume.
5)-The onboard effects are not superb but just fine for practice or writing music with someone else at this volume level
6)-I wouldnt really take this thing to a jam session with multiple guys......if the jam was small I would bring a blues Jr........bigger jam-a deluxe reverb.........loud garage or basement jam-a hot rod deluxe -for clean headroom.......beyond that?......enjoy a disturbing the peace ticket.
7)-this is just a little practice amp, it works very good for exactly that. If you want something truly better and professional at this level then buy a real Fender Champ combo from the 70's or earlier or if your rich get the New Vintage Champ from Fender.
for a cheap bang for the buck practice amp this thing works well.
