TUBE15 Celestion : Nice valve amp with a retro feeling

I owned a lot of different amps (solid state, valve, simulation) and used them all mostly at home. II'm pleased with the Tube15, it has a fendery voice, vintage and warm. I tried it with a Les Paul, a PRS, 2 Telecasters, a Yamaha Revstar. It keeps and enhance the character of the guitar in a very nice way.

It's not too big and has plenty of power, I use it mostly at 1W with the volume on 3/4. With the gain you can change the sound from a decent clean to a nice vintage overdrive. The spring reverb is decent, not very present even at the max level.

I use the amp also with an overdrive pedal (Tonecity Heat) and with the Victory V4 preamp that goes through the send/return path changing completely the voice of the amp (if engaged).

I appreciate particularly the presence of the send/return compared to most of the cheaper Fender valve amps that don't have it.

It's nice to have the external speaker output; would've been nice to have the amp in too, to use it with any amp head (this could be fixed with some DIY work.
