I used the Fender Supersonic (1/12) on a recording session a couple of weeks ago and loved the sounds but I just got back from a live gig (r&b) and was very disappointed with the clean sound. At 60 watts I'm kind of surprised the vintage settings break up so much they are pretty much unusable for clean rhythm guitar ala James Brown, Chaka Kahn, etc. This was not a quiet band but certainly not extremely loud. Am I doing something wrong or is the amp meant to be more of a blues/rock amp? Thanks in advance for any help.

Might have been a bad 6L6--I bought it at Guitar Center. I just pulled a 6L6 out of my MKIII and will try it tonight.

Yeah, and you might want to try getting a new speaker. That can make a big difference

It was the bad tube that cause the problems. After replacing it and using the amp on a gig last night I can report that the Fender Supersonic lives up to its name--great amp. :D
