Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It is sturdy and made with care. Reliability How has it stood up over time? mine has taken a beating.. still looks great and sounds great too, keeps sounding better more and more. as the tubes wear in and the wood breaks in. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I would buy again, 45 Watts is a little much, but when I need it I am glad its there. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? this is a heavy beast. but its not too terrible once you hear it. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? I am always happy with the sound I get out of this, I have set it up many ways and I am always impressed with the tone. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? stardard finish, fender makes a good name for themsleves with the quality of this amp Action How was the action out of the box? na

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? High. A proffesional grade instrument and the cost is still there within reach of actual working guitar players, who have many other expenses, and cant lay out for a $3000 dollar, 15 watt amp (that lacks reverb).Maybe thats why Fender amps and Guitars are STILL used by more GENUINE WORKING MUSICIANS than any other brand, the entire world over. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Check the used amp market sometime. Its filled with Fenders and Marshalls. If used gear-music stores are full of 30 and 40 year old boutique amps come the day, then maybe i'll be impressed. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Overall, based on what especially ridiculously overpriced amps such as Soho,Soldano and Bogner,or just everyday overpriced amps like PRS and Engel are charging, for the Fender Cricuits they all use, this top of the Fender Line,Made in the USA amp is a good value. Its a real gamer not a basement toy and its Reverb and Trem are otherworldly good.Its absurd to expect Fender to "go back to hand wiring" amps when NObody else making amps in the UK or US, in the $1500 category is doing that either. The bald truth is that point to point wiring is not necessarily better than bread board circuitry, just easier for "modding" hobbyists to get at.Also, we cant really blame Fender for the at large quality of tubes being made today either. Can we really expect Fender to ship their top shelf amps with RCA tubes because they did 50 years ago? At the end of the day,No one can touch Fenders Tube Guitar amps for tone, reliability and overall useabilty, not at the Prices Fender sells them at. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? If someone ever taught a college class called "Tube Amp w/ Lab", Bring a Super Reverb and the owners manual can be the text. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? All Fender 6L6 tube amp. Useable at any setting. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Timeless although id really love to see Fender go to the vintage correct gold colored grill cloth with the 65 reissue amps.
