The original amp controls are: Treble, Bass, Volume Bright and Volume Normal, and a Bright switch. I know quite a few people use it as their main Fender model. The Bandmaster sounds very balanced to me.

When it does start to break up, it produces a nice overdrive. It’s an amp with quite a lot of headroom. The model is based on the Vibrato channel. It has two channels: “Normal ” and “Vibrato”. This amp puts out around 40 watts through two 6L6 tubes. This makes it possible to adapt to small and big stages and gigs just by configuring the speakers." The blackface and silverface Bandmaster is a big sounding amp with a flexible speaker impedance of 4 ohm, allowing anything between one and four speakers (8 ohm each) to be connected via the main and/or external speaker jack. The blackface Bandmaster is therefore ideal for those who look for a pure Fender clean sound without making ones ears bleed. A smaller output transformer will introduce sag and compression in the power amp section.

The Bassman has a slightly bigger output transformer resulting in a firmer tone and more attack. Hence, the AA864 Bassman normal channel has more preamp “juice” and reaches the sweet spot at an earlier volume knob setting. The vibrato channel in the Bandmaster is even more clean than the Bassman because of the vibrato circuitry loading the signal chain and reducing the gain level in the premp section. They are similar in the way that both are clean sounding with just one 12ax7 tube in the preamp stage (vibrato ch in bandmaster and normal channel in bassman).
