I did alot of reading online and this little thing seems to have a leigon of fans!! No I wont be tradeing my POD in.... but im seriously considering buying this as it looks fun and is in-expensive. here are some youtube clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S98RccQUvKc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aGMTrL0pGg and on the fender site http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2331100000 For the price I really dont see how I could loose out on this little beauty.

The effects are a bit digital, so I guess I wouldn't use them much though. I miss a 12'' speaker on this one, but it can be hooked to an external cab and it sounds awesome through a 2x12. Good bang for the cash. But I don't know if it would handle high gain stuff. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I would definitely buy it if I would consider to have a fender amp any time in the future. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's a great blues amp for home use but nothing more and the effects are just cheap. The 15watt amp that surprised me the most was the orange tiny terror, holy ** what a little beast! The Tiny terror can do all the sounds the super champ can + really dirty rock sounds and even brutal high gain stuff. It cost almost twice the money the super champ costs but it offers three times the sound. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I had the Vox AC15 and I REALLy did not like it. I play alot of high gain stuff, which the Pod does well. But what I would really like is someone running 6L6 or 6V6 tubes. I know Mesa Boogies are well out of my reach, so im guessing it would have to be a fender of some sort. Im really not sure why they put EL84 tubes in a fender blues junior, arnt these british voiced tubes? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But it's rather popular in all kind of brands where you want 15, 30 or 5 watts. But if you like the american tone better it's smarter to go for something with 6L6 or 6V6 in it like you suggest.
