Terry I have a Transfex Pro 212s
It is stereo with 2 power amps , one for each speaker.
It has more power than I need, any more volume needed, and I would leave the band.
I have a midi pedal, and it is like several amps in one. I started with the Newman preset patches and have set up several of my own.
I can run 1-4 different isntruments through it and each as a patch or 3 on the pedal tuned for itself.
I have a little mini mizer before it so I need not plug and unplug.
Since the Profex / Transfex type processor is ingegral I have very high level of control.
Is it better sounding than the ideal tube amp... nope,
Is it very good sounding, yep. And extremely versatile.
I record with it, and it is very good for live work.
For me versatility was a high priority
My main negative issue is weight. but most steel amps are not light.
About the size of a Fender Twin.
I wish it had a tube in the chain, but for pure solid state, it sounds pretty good to me.
I plan on an all tube unit in the future.
I also have TubeFex unit in my studio rack, which does have a 12az7 tube in it.
That was used before I got the amp with it built in.
Hope this helps.
