Rock-solid. Rode with me, buckled up in the back seat for over an hour. Cabinet is firm, and the handle feels very secure. Gotta love that tolex, too.

I have only had mine for... 3 days... Seems like it'll hold up for awhile. Rating it a 5 so it doesnt get dinged.

Your general opinion of this product.
IF you are looking for your first-ever tube amp, and don't need to rock an entire stadium, look no further! I got this beauty a few days ago, and it has already proven itself to me. I picked it up at the front office of the apartment complex the DAY OF my latest gig. Only had one practice with it to try to dial everything in, but that was time enough!
Before I continue singing the praises of this amp, though, let me forwarn you... The negative comments regarding the DRIVE and MORE DRIVE channels are very accurate. Fender kinda messed this one up again. Instead of flabby like previous versions, it just sounds like you're listening to a guitar through a telephone handset. Pretty much only good for a SPECIAL EFFECT. Not to be used as regular overdrive...
That is my ONLY complaint, and the situation is rectified by the built-in effects loop. Don't throw away your pedals, children! In fact, this thing DIGS 'EM ;D

Very expressive. If you know how to milk the tone from your strings, this will show that talent ten-fold.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Punchy mids, tight-bass, and chiming highs, ESPECIALLY WHILE CLEAN.

Tolex is purdy xD

Barely had to try to dial in a good sound.
