A great practice tool that leaves you with a feeling that you'll never figure out all that it can do.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
I feels about right. Controls are easy to reach.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The tone is great for the money. I have bigger and more powerful amplifiers but this one works just fine.

Your general opinion of this product.
When we are not the best guitar maestros we tend to practice alone. We play alone and maybe our loved ones or friends will get in on a little bit of our playing but no one except our instructor really understands our ups and downs. This little tool is amazing. It sits there and never complains. It just keeps feeding the exact beat, rhythm, tempo or fun energy we need to make our practice and playing experience the best.

Just about any tone you have ever heard is possible with this little giant.

The more I play with it, the more features I find. Do the math, you get a tuner for your guitar, an amp, 100 preset songs to play along with, numerous amp effects, software that allows you to tweek the effects. Basically, you get $600 worth of features for $199, no brainer to me....

It is amazing what you can do with this little amp. You can change your tone to anything you could ever want, record easily, jam without having any friends, loop groves, use it live as a stage monitor and run the line out to the board, ect.ect ect.

Feels like an amp I guess?
Tone

It has a very good tone. I play a lot of country and blues so I live in the clean to mild dirt zone and it delivers. I found the factory presets to be geared toward the metal head wanker types but in about 3min after plugging it in to my pc with the Fuse software I had a surprisingly pleasing tone. It can cover rockabilly, country, blues, GREAT Wes Montgomery tones all day long.

First I want to think AMS, THERE the greastest at service and everthing in between.
As for my fender g dec I could not be happier the sound is amazing. With 100 presets, and all the fender amp sounds. From hot rod deville to classic tube amps. Primarily a practice amp I can see using this amp 2 gig with our play with any band. Thank you tender for a great app you make me very happy.

This is one great little product. Especially valuable for anyone learning to play guitar as it provides a host of features all in one package(tuner, mp3 player,tons of tracks to play along with as well as lot's of great tones for your guitar). I do over a hundred or so gigs a year and use this on cocktail hours and such.
