Feature:
This is the Swiss Army Knife of guitar amps. Along with the features listed above there are also 50 factory preset backing track each with drumtrack, bassline and even some accompaniment. There are also 50 user programmable memory slots for your own compositions. This amp has a MIDI I/O for true robust composition using a sequencer and a computer.
Quality:
What can I say, it's a Fender. When I think Fender I think "Icon", "Legend" and "Quintessential". The quaility, the fit and finish of this this amp lives up to all I think Fender to be. It has the classic look of a Fender product and deversity of its features makes it a pleasure to play through.
Value:
Factor in the cost of an amp, drum machine, rythm machine, the different amp models and digital effect purchsed sepparately versus the $370.00 street price of this item. If you do the math you'll recognize the value
Desirability:
Oh it's sexy alright. What all it does is pretty amazing!
Sound:
With it's 17 amplifier models and 29 digital effects you can sculpt your sound to be warm like a vintage Tweed or have the high end crunch of British electronics. You have all of the popular effects like distortion, delay, chorus, phase shift, flanger, etc, each with customizable variables.
Ease of Use:
I would have given it a 10 except that the instructions are sparse and the user interface is not very intuitive. There is a bit of a learning curve you'll have to overcome. Once you do get it though it's pretty easy.
Support:
I haven't had need for any repairs or upgrades but Fender has a lot of material online to help you along. Almost anything you need in terms of product support is available through their web site. This product also comes with a five year limited warrantee.
Overall:
This is a great practice amp. You could drive a small hall with it but it is just a 30 watt amp. I use it for practice, rehersals, compsition and jusyt plain shredding with all of it's effects

Feature:
All in one unit, as far as hardware. I plan to get the pedal as soon as I get past a few downloading issues.
Quality:
I was quite satisfied with the GDEC15, and more so with the 30.
Value:
I think it's a pretty good value.
Desirability:
Good practical addition.
Sound:
It's ok so far, although I'm still getting used to it. A lot better than the GDEC15, which I owned previously
Ease of Use:
I get great sounds, and the interface (human to amp), is easy enough once you get used to it. The manual leaves a whole lot to be desired, though. In fact, there are a lot of things you just have to figure out. It would be nice if Fender included some hints and recommendations. I fought for a week trying to get a Yamaha USB/MIDI cable to work, only to discover on the web that it's not recommended.
Support:
I have not dealt with the company, but read other reviews that gave them high marks.
Overall:
I plan to keep it for quite some time, unless something remarkably better comes along.
