Well I have to strongly disagree about that. Obviously I don't know what is going on with your particular 1959 but in general you can get some good to pretty good cleans out of them depending on the actual amp itself. Of course you are probably not going to ever get Fender cleans out of them, but just about everyone that I have actually played through had some pretty usable cleans.
For example in the YJM demo you can hear for yourself that the amp sounds like it is going to have some very usable cleans......ad just a touch of that reverb, turn it up until its just on the edge of breaking up, kick in the boost for solos and you've got yourself a very usable clean and blues amp. On the other hand with the AFD, from everything I have read from people that own them and that I have heard through youtube, you can pretty much forget about any usable cleans. To quote one owner "there's no real 'clean' coming out of this amp." That alone makes it less versatile imo. Also, In one of the youtube demo videos you can here Chris clearly state that the AFD pretty much has just one sound. That's not very versatile in my book but no big deal... again just two really good sounding amps meeting different needs of different markets.
