I've never owned a tweed Fender before (I have been a blackface/silverface guy for 30 years!). So, I'm not sure how loud these amps are supposed to be... having said that, this amp is so quiet that I think I must have done something wrong. My Princeton Reverb clone is much, much louder than the Tweed Deluxe (and it is, I think, about 18 watts). I know these amps are not about clean headroom, but I am referring to overall volume. I could never gig with this, even in a very modestly powered trio (and I have regularly gigged with the Princeton and blackface Deluxe--which I often have to turn down to around "3").
Any guesses as to what might be causing this?
