I sold my tube amp and bought this 2x12 SS amp. It's a few pounds heavier than the 40 lb tube amp I sold, but still manageable with one hand. As George Benson says about the new Fender GB Hot Rod amp while carrying it with one hand, "I can take this to the gig, and come on back with some money". I used to have a Cyber Twin that I loved, but it was too heavy. The Mustang IV is only 8-10 lbs lighter than the CT, but that makes a big difference.
I played this amp recently for the first time, and it's incredible! I know there are some that think SS doesn't compare with tube, but this amp changed my mind. Here are some YouTube videos that compare the Mustang IV to various Fender tube amps:

Using the software that comes with this amp you can go online and download tons of presets, or you can create your own presets. Modifying presets in real time is very easy, and much easier than with the CT.
