Yeah, that's right. I'm playing my newly aquired Squier Standard Strat through my newly aquired Peavey MAX 110. As far as a clean sound goes, it's just supernatural. It is the sound I've been looking for in a Strat. I wish it had maybe a reverb or a chorus or even a little delay. That's okay though because they make pedals for that. They being them, or those that are too numerous to be named.
I really discovered this sound by accident. I was just goofing around in Guitar Center trying out this Squier Standard Strat in Sienna Burst I've been lusting after. The problem is that pretty much every guitar amp I plugged it into made it sound too thin. And distortion just does not work for me with single coils. So, thinking how alot of people that detune are using bass amps nowdays, I just plugged into one to see if it'd help. And it damn sure did! Raelyy filled out the sound nicely. Another big plus is that being solid state and a bass amp, I can crank it as much as I want and it retains the same tone.
I'm not saying this'll work for everybody, but for those that dig the Strats with single coils, try it. You just might like it.
