Sounds nice and clear, and very Fender-ish.To my taste, it coulda used a little more low end, but I'm certain there's plenty available.I couldn't find out what it weighs. Anyone know?

According to the Fender PanoVerb website, it weighs 61 lbs (27.66 kg).

Bob,
All true. Nonetheless, lots of guitarists seem to be into it and it sold out pretty quickly.

It's definitely a unique amp that's not for everybody but I think it sounds really nice for steel but I won't be gigging with it to save my back. :)

I went to Guitar Center with my steel trying different amps and I liked this one the most by far. So far, the stereo tremolo is the only thing I haven't figured out a place for. The open back cabinet with the 15 in it fills a room with much more crystal clear low end compared to my twin.

The dwell and EQ specific to the reverb is amazing.

I'm glad to have a channel with great usable overdrive I can click to with a footswitch so I can continue avoiding using pedals.

I'm sure it would be a great sounding amp, but for that price one could buy 2 vintage fender amps, one a 40 watter such as a Super reverb, and a Showman or Twin, or a couple of old fender heads and a couple cabs with various speaker combinations.. 61 pounds?.. thats around the weight of an old Super Reverb.. The real deal killer for me is that its a PC amp... I dunno, for better than 3K I just think there are better options.
