9 out of 10
Feature:
A footswitch can be used to switch on the Fat mode, which might be useful I suppose, but it's easy to just switch it directly on the amp wo I have never bothered with this. Perhaps the reverb should be foot-switchable too?
Quality:
Well constructed and finished.
Value:
Excellent tone for little expense.
Desirability:
It's not particularly sexy, but it's good.
Sound:
This amp has a classic Fender tone. Sounds great clean and overdriven. In fact I was surprised how great this amp sounds when it is overdriven. There is something particularly sweet about a Strat with a Fender amp and this amp continues the tradition. My Les Paul with 57 PAF pickups also sounds so very tasty. With the gain turned up full and the fat switch in this can play a heavy rock tone if you want, but it will not be suitable for a metalhead. The sound is trebly and quite cutting, but this is not a bad thing to me. The tube overtones are just delightful and its lack of deep bass response when overdriven aids in making yourself heard over the mix.
I agree with the other comments here that the reverb is not so great - but its not awful either. Just keep it low.
Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use having only one channel and with the usual basic controls
Support:
No experience.
Overall:
It makes you want to buy another Fender amp!

Sound:
great amp. small,light,loud,great tone. no need to replace the speaker. it a 50 watt speaker. i put the same speaker in my Marshall AVT50 combo.reverb sounds great to me. blends well with other instruments. add an sm57 mic to the p.a. and wow! once the speaker breaks in the spound is darker.runs a Marshall 1960 cab with ease using the 8ohm switch so you dont fry the tubes. build quality is very good. i leave the fat switch on all the time. loves pedals. i use boss pedals. sd1,mt2,cry baby. i play punk, hard rock and metal too. some oldies as well.
