I used to, and I'm still sad that I sold it six years ago. Which is it,
the 2x12 or 4x10 (the one I had)?
They are a great, verstile, general purpose retroish amp with a great
sound. You should try it out, and see if it fits what you're looking
for. They do have a classic spring reverb unit in them, and are all
tube, so they sound big and warm and great.
Now, I also play blues, so it was a great amp for rock-surf-blues; it
might not give you the 'classic' tone you are looking for, for it's not
dead-on to the old sound, but if you're looking for something that will
work and sound good for a wide range of music it's a great way to go.
