I've always wanted a Super Reverb, but I've never lived in a place that allows you to reach that sweet breakup without damaging your hearing/getting evicted. I expected to get a good backup amp for gigs, and with the attenuator I figured I could make it a practice amp. I had no idea the tones could be as close as they are, and while I love my Carr Rambler dearly - this amp has become my go-to amp for practices and gigs. I will not hide that some of the "feel" that it's tube counterparts offer is not there. I'm no engineer, but perhaps that's transformer sag? Either way, I can tell you that once you get into a live-mix situation with other members, my ears can no longer distinguish digital from tube. The Jensen speakers in this amp really help with that, I believe. In a band mix I have the attenuator on the 5w setting and it is PLENTY loud. The direct out in the back is so nice too! Flip on the standby switch to mute the Super's internal speakers and go direct to FoH or your interface quietly - and I do mean quietly. It's made recording so much easier and my bandmates are very happy with the quality. The other guitarist has abandoned his AC30 (for now) and picked up the TM Twin Reverb after hearing my Super. These amps are great. I would never say "tubes are dead" because I don't want them to be. This amplifier, however, is a great tool to have in any studio/backline for any musician. Highly recommend.
