Holy shit - it draws 950W! That's 8.6A, so you could only run 2 on a given household circuit.

MANLAND.

Rob. Your current setup is incredibly overpowered for what you're using it for, the last thing your house needs is 150W of more nonsense.

Splaahaa!

I'm convinced Fender doesn't think that the intelligence of consumers has evolved over the simpletons of yesteryear. There's simply too much about this new amp that seems wrong.

It has a computer fan in it, just like the ones from the 50s

its 350 watts and the cougar1000 is only 100

im trying to figure out if its built the same exact way as mine with the tube in the lead channel or is it in the clean channel.....im not even sure if this thing has 2 channels. it might just be one big fucking 350 watt clean channel with one tube and the rest all solidstate

Class D power amps are solid-state. You can't make a Class D valve power amp.
