| 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. |

| Subject: | I'd use outboard distortion |
| Quality:
| Very well made and dependable. |
| Sound:
| Clean, this amp sounds great with my strat, reproduces the twangy highs. Boost the lows/mids and it sounds just as jazzy as you want it with my archtop. Even my acoustic sounds good through this. The onboard distortion sounds solid state - not my cup of tea. I use another processor for that. Don't like square wave forms and the higher distortion setting is noisy. |
| Reliability:
| It's the same as new a year and a half after purchase with lots of travel in the trunk of my two seater and hauling up and down stairs. Fender quality. |
| Overall:
| Fender quality, very solid and good looking amp. Nothing touches it in the price range. Super value. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Easy to use, a little heavy at 48 pounds but it's worth the work. |
| Tone:
| Like I said, works equally well for twangy rock & roll, mellow jazz/blues. Tweakable. |
| Finish:
| Fender quality. Classic look. |

| Fender Quality, need I say more. |
| Sound:
| Great fender sound and tone.nice spring Reverb, especially for a solid state amp. |
| Reliability:
| great, no problems yet, but don't expect any either. |
| Overall:
| One of the best amps I've ever owned.Great for guitarist on a budget. I'm an active Musician, I play everything from Bluegrass to Classic Rock,I've owned many different amps (combo's to stack's)and this amp rock's,if you play metal this is not your amp get a closed back but if clean bright tone is what you need then I highly recommend this combo.You'll never find another with the flexibility,tone and power that come with this amp. |
| Playability and Feel:
| very user friendly. |
| Tone:
| Ultra clean Fender tone, quiet no hum, spring reverb, drive and more drive ( nice for soloing ) and the foot switch is a plus ( switch between clean, drive and more drive ) |
| Finish:
| Beautiful black classic tolex, classic silver meshing and black face but still retains the classic Fender look and feel right down to the red jewel power light on front. |
| Action:
| Great, I was blown away, like I said "Fender Tone" unbelievable.Right out of box it's ready, got it played on it about 4hrs then right to the stage for a 2 night gig where it Rocked the house for a combined 10hrs and was still ready for more. |

| Quality:

| Sound:
| 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. |
