| Quality:
| For a Chinese Fender, it's made pretty well. I just hope it isn't full of lead like the recent purses. |
| Sound:
| Tone is good. With different guitars, different pick ups, it gives good variety. |
| Reliability:
| Only had it 3wks. So far, so good. |
| Overall:
| Overall, the amp fits the bill. The size & weight is great, & it's plenty loud. The price is decent for this application, but you need to remember it is a Chinese amp. It has good tone, & that's saying alot for someone who prefers tube amps. Small size makes it easy to transport, but I would recommend an amp stand. The handle needs a good breaking in. I have to pry something under it to raise it up so I can grab a hold of it. The downfall would be the hum noise. It is noisy when using the OD gain, or even the reverb. I tried differnt cords & different guitars, & it's just noisy. I found by using an FX pedal, you can avoid the hum with the noise gate. But the hum isn't noticeable once playing has started. I guess I'd give it a 4, tho 3.5 stars might be closer because of that hum. |
| Playability and Feel:
| See action rating. |
| Tone:
| The amp is noisy. Even with the slightest gain on OD, or use of the reverb, it will hum. |
| Finish:
| Super. Showroom look. |
| Action:
| Knobs turn easily enough, i/o switch operates smoothly. Gain switch could be reposistioned. Did I say the knobs moved real easy? |

| Quality:
| I'm assuming that the distortion problem on the clean channel was due to people fooling around with it. I am going to see about getting another one and will hold onto this one until then. |
| Sound:
| Other than the slight distortion I mentioned on the clean channel with the lower volume setting at 1-2,the tone on this is pure Fender all the way, but it does take a while to adjust it properly. The clean on this does seem to be very bright and should've had IMO, a mid setting built in on it. The distortion channel with the contour switch allows for a myriad of tones, ranging from blues to classic rock. I'm not sure about Metal though. It does take well to pedals though and that is a plus in my book. |
| Reliability:
| I just got it yesterday and I have read reviews were some people hace said that these have a tendency to break down. Maybe that's because they don't take care of them. I baby all of my gear and that shouldn't be a problem for me. |
| Overall:
| I got mine yesterday at a local competitor, who shall remain nameless, and it was a floor model and the only one left in stock,so I don't know how many people had tried it before me. When I got it home, I noticed that the clean channel sounded a little distorted between 1-2. Other than that, there were no problems at all. |
| Playability and Feel:
| N/A |
| Tone:
| This does take some adjusting to get it to sound good, especially on the clean channel which is way too bright. A mid range knob on that channel would be a improvement. |
| Finish:
| I love the classic Blackface look with the silver grille cloth over the speaker. |
| Action:
| The knobs turned very nicely for me, Thank you. |

| Quality:
| Great Fender quality amp with a lot of power for not a whole lot of cash. |
| Sound:
| It says 65 watts, and I believe it. It is loud! |
| Reliability:
| Rugged and durable. I frequently knock it around but you couldn't tell it from looking at it. |
| Overall:
| My overall opinion is LOUD! But, also it's very versatile. The description doesn't explain the features in great detail. The footswitch allows you to change between the regular channel and drive channel. It has 2-inputs. Input one is for guitars with normal output pickups and the input two is for high-output (active) pickups. |
| Playability and Feel:
| All of the controls are fairly straight forward. I, myself, was not familiar with the way the 2 inputs work so I had to actually scope it out in the little manual that was included. That was the only real question that I had. |
| Tone:
| It has a wide range of sounds. I use a Floor POD Plus with it and together there are seemingly infinite possibilities. The amp itself has a lot of flexibility with the drive channel, reverb, contour, etc. |
| Finish:
| Looks just like the picture. I think they are pretty sharp. I like the vintage look and yet it screams! |
| Action:
| Loud! |
