Has anyone brewed an American Wheat using Wyeast 1056? If so how did it come out?

And- I hope to reuse the wheat yeast on my next batch. Could this yeast be reused for any type of american ale. I know that 1056 is a rather versitile yeast when it comes to ale type, but would the fact that it was first used to produce a wheat beer affect the outcome of say an amber, pale, stout?
 
I usually use S-05 or -04 dry yeasts (not advocating just lazy). I just used Wyeast's 1010 wheat strain though & it has produced some pretty wicked sulfer smells!
 
Ive used 1056 for almost every American style and is great.
I got a bunch of washed 1056 in my fridge. You just wanna use
some different malts for flavor since it is a bland yeast. Not the
first choice for a wheat but thats just me. It should be fine to reuse.
 
1056 will make beer; but take the time and spend a few extra $$ and get some WLP300 and ferment the proper temperature to really bring out the flavors of banana and clove; it will be worth the effort... Just as shutupjojo stated; you will need to add something or could be blan
