| Subject: | Great Sounding Amp |
| Quality:
| It seems like a well made amp that looks sharp. |
| Reliability:
| Only had it for a day but fender is pretty trustworthy for most i think. I had another fender combo amp when i was younger and it never gave me any problems. |
| Overall:
| Great sounding amp for the money. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Comes with a footswitch that works well. Controls work good. The only thing i hate is that they put the power switch in the back of the amp and that there is no speaker cabinet out jack. |
| Tone:
| Has a good bright tone. The drive stage sounds great. I get a nice midrange crunch out of it. You can get a good scooped high gain out of it too. You might want to put a tube screamer or overdrive pedal in front of the gain stage to give it a little boost. I like to use it to play rock, punk, metal, death metal, and grindcore. Its great for van halen, slash sounding stuff and heavier stuff. I would imagine that the brightness to it sounds great for country, jazz and blues. |
| Finish:
| Has the classic fender amp look. Looks classy. |

| Requires a bit of tweaking. Very trebly and cold. |
| Reliability:
| NA....basically new. |
| Overall:
| Pretty good....again, not bad for a solid state amp. I play with a lot of effects pedals so I just wanted a good, clean sounding amp that was loud that I could run my effects through to improve the sound. My suggestion would be to go ahead and save up for a tube driven 2x12 or even for the Fender Super Champ (1x12). Would be a good amp for a beginner but still a great value at $299.00 and the clean channel with reverb is pretty decent. |
| Playability and Feel:
| NA |
| Tone:
| Very bright. |
| Finish:
| The top of the amp had a white stain from the packing styrofoam...sticky. Not a huge deal to me. |
| Action:
| Didn't take long to get it going. |

| Subject: | Sweet Fender Crunch and solid tone! |
| Quality:
| solid construction. I am gentle with my gear, so I see this being a long lasting amp. |
| Sound:
| The tone is absolutely amazing. I could expect none less from Fender. The classic spring reverb gives a nice body and substance to both channels. This amp is very LOUD. I can't see myself ever needing more volume than this. The level knobs have never been past 3. |
| Reliability:
| I have only owned this for 3 moths. however, my past experience with Fender equipment has been nothing short of awesome. There is a reason that people still own Fender's from the 1950's-60's...reliability! |
| Overall:
| After doing much window shopping and online browsing and price comparison, I settled on this tone monster. I could not be happier with my purchase. |
| Playability and Feel:
| still portable at 48 lbs. Very easy to switch channel |
| Tone:
| This amp certainly fits my style of palying. The clean channel is what I imagine guitars sound like in heaven. The dual inputs(for normal and active pickups) compliment both of my guitars nicely. I plug the Strat into input 1 and my Fernandes into input 2 and the result on either channel is amazing! |
| Finish:
| Awesome classic Fender look |
| Action:
| Love that this comes with a foot switch. Has separate tone controls for each channel and the more drive feature thickens up the crunch well. |

| For a solid state amp, you can not bet the price or sound. Clean channel has great tone and even pretty good distortion. All you need for a practice amp but has enough power for shows as well. |
