"I raise my goblet of ROCK..."

Feature:
Pretty straightforward. If you need wacky effects, get a pedal, they're better.

Quality:
Fender hasn't been in business for decades by making crap...this one's well built.

Value:
For the money, this amp is awesome. I considered other more expensive products, but they didn't sound good enough to warrant spending hundreds more than what this one costs. I would've spent more on this if it had cost more, but I'm glad it was inexpensive.

Desirability:
Obviously nothing says Rock and Roll like a full Marshall stack, but this amp looks pretty tough, even if it's a little on the small side. I'm sure the 2x12 100W version looks even cooler.

Sound:
Amp sounds great, especially for the money. It gets a decent low end punch in the drive channel that works well for modern stuff, and the clean channel is great as well. This is definitely a rock amp. If your looking to play bluegrass, look again. It gets good power (you can get over a drummer just fine) but remains very portable, which is important to most of us who lack road crews and equipment vans.

Support:
Haven't needed support, but there's a 5 year warranty, which is good.

Overall:
Hopefully this will last me a long time, it's a well made product. Obviously I'll buy other things in the future. I mean, if I ever play Madison Square Gardens a 65 watt combo ain't gonna cut it. But for shakin' up the house, I'll stick with my FM 65

"Fender FM65R :D"

Feature:
It has enough but, it could have a mid EQ knob for the clean channels.

Quality:
I've had this amp for about half of a year and there is nothing wrong with it. It's is a sturdy build and has maintained it's sound and speaker quality after pushing it just a little too far :).

Value:
I payed very little money for this quality amp.

Desirability:
It doesn't look the sharpest but hey, don't judge a book by its cover. It sounds amazing.

Sound:
It's the bet sounding amp I have had. With a little knowledge on how to work the onboard EQ you can get a variety of quality sounds from this amp.

Ease of Use:
Extremely simple to use.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them yet because it works so fine. Voted 5 just because it's the even vote.

Overall:
I will probably have this amp as a practice amp until it breaks. I do plan on buying a half stack combo but that's just for live performance. This amp is a great practice/small jam amp.
