It can punch a hole into your walls
It’s amazing how you can get such great sound out of something this small. I do recommend using an overdrive pedal with no gain on it and just the tone knob turned up. Run the OD and a reverb pedal through the FC loop at the back of the amp and you will end up with a sound you’d expect to get from a 100w amp. Without a reverb pedal though it sounds a little bit blunt.

look, on most OD pedals the tone knob isn't doing a whole lot when open. Its just a crude low pass like your guitar tone knob. Perhaps there are some some impedance things going n between the tube preamps and solid state power amps and by using a buffered pedal in the loop its allowing more high end through due to a lower impedance from the preamp? And I guess you're removing some bass thump if the tube stages have a large coupling and cathode bypass caps... the input capacitor on the tubescreamer for instance is on the small side and forms a high apss filter. Really the FX loop should be doing a lot of that itself if its buffered though.... some of what you're hearing may be psychoacoustic...

@jimmarchi1 wow that’s some great feedback there. You’re totally on to it cause as you can see on my gear page, I’m using a TS9 with it and I dial out the gain and turn up the tone to max. It’s a light effect but seems to fill out the sound and make it more well rounded.
