I thought it was a great amp when I had mine. Sounded like this…

Wouldn’t be my first or even 2nd choice for country, but nice amps nonetheless.

Im literally looking at mine, in its box, ready to be taken to UPS as a return to Musicians Friend.
First friedman that disappointed me - ive had 6 now - i wanted it to have plexi cleans. It doesnt. Ill go back to a smallbox eventually. But thats not what you asked about.
Its got excellent fat cleans though and goes up to and past JCM800 levels of gain. Takes pedals like a CHOMP-ion! (Thats good). Has the big bottom end that the Shirley is famous for but now it can be effectively dialed down and out of the way.
For what i wanted it was a letdown. That was my bad for buying into youtube reviewers hype and not simply thinking about it - its a jcm800 pre! Its not gonna sound like a plexi therefore.
NOW - For a country act? I think it would be great actually. A reverb, compressor and a treble booster and ur in business all gig long
The clip above is nice and shows some great range!
