Nope. None here! Got a chance to play a Monza head today. Plugged in my PRS SC245 and let it rip. That thing has gobs of overdrive. I had the drive knob at 0 and still had to use my guitar volume knobs to get a "clean" tone. What a neat little amp if you never have to play clean. I put it side to side with a Ghia and got the Ghia but the Monza is sure a bad ss "Shane" amp.

I had some clean tones but nothing sparkling clean like my Maz Jr, I can control the gain a bit with my pick attack too

Yeah I found that was the case with me. I'm sure humbuckers didn't help the cause and it was plugged into a 16ohm cab from the 8 ohm output. It was sure loud though.

I am going to try running my Monza thru the 2x10's in my Maz jr combo and see how that flies

Remember those semi-clean tones from the 70's live albums? Cuz the guitarist was playing a Gibson through a MArshall for the whole set?
I don't play a Gibson. The Monza isn't a Marshall. But That's the concept I'm running with these days.

You guyz must be anal(LOL)about clean tones cause I get cleans that chime with a nice rich round tone using a HB E-quipped strat and volume roll off. Course I'm using the SC's for the clean mostly haha!
I don't attenuate mine either...evar! I'm also using 12vers for speakers in my cabs. No 10in here...
I'm thinking my "version" of clean differs YMMV!LOL

I'm thinking my "version" of clean differs YMMV!LOL Yup. If you leave the BL off and keep the amp volume around 9:00, there are actually some very strong beautiful clean tones to be found o the Monza. Turning the Drive down helps a little, but I like it around 12:00 for the bottom end girth it adds. It really can do clean - yeah, not Fender Twin clean, but clean enough. If you'd want it any cleaner I'd say grab an acoustic!
