the low power (5w) option actually sounds better to me. the natural distortion/breakup from the gain setting > 7 sounds a little more distorted than at the normal (16w) setting. some have bragged about how great this sounds running it through a 2 x 12 cab at 5w. i haven't tried this yet.
I like the warm clean tone as well, and the tone stack is quite useful though a wide range of freq's. you can play jazz, blues or classic rock through this at low to moderate volume, and it does sound great with my Fulltone OD pedal out front. It's not just a practice amp, I think could be used in a club or small room, depending on who you're playing with.
I think the speaker matters too. this one came with a "vintage series" 70w 12 inch, which i am well pleased with. it has a nice bright but warm and transparent tone, with a slight hi fi nature. Someone bragged about the eminence cannabis rex in this, and i have one of those so i tried it and imo did not sound anywhere near as good as the carvin spkr, so i put it back in. By contrast, I have the carvin nomad, 50w, 1 x 12, and didn't like the 100w carvin g12 swpkr in that. I replaced it with a WGS ET65 spkr, which I can't say enough good things about, and really made a difference for the amp overall.
