I got this custom valve 40 several weeks ago...
The clean channel is friggin awesome!!
I don't really care for the drive channel tho... at all so far!
But to be fair I also haven't used it but once or twice and only for a few minutes, then it was back to the clean!!
Overlook the rough pedal board, it is still in the experimental stage ;)

 
I've got a 'YCV-50 Blue' version of that amp that I've had for several years now. It uses EL-34 output tubes instead of the 6L6's in your amp so the dirt channel is more to my liking. Also it uses a Celestion V30 speaker. All in all these are great little amps but IMO under-rated. Mine has been very dependable over the years and only the output tubes need occasional changing. One of the great things about these amps is that they are self biasing so they don't need either an amp tech to bias them nor do the output tubes have to be a matched pair just as long as they are the correct type.

I think mine is around a 2005 model.
I changed out the speaker a short time after I got it, Mine had maybe a seventy/80 in it? maybe?
don't recall but it sounds a good bit better after the change out.
 
I had a Custom Special 50 1x12 combo. It was a great amp. Not so good as an edge of breakup amp, but great mid to high gain.
