"Good stuff"

Feature:
dont use fx's or loops or the ext speaker jack but the speaker jack is cool. no frills is great. Why pay for crap you dont need? Less is more.

Quality:
These amps are known for trouble but save the reciept for 5 year warranty. these amps are way cool and cheap enough for the tone you get once you dial it in. there are still a lot of working usa models out there so its good. Ive owned a bunch of these and only had a problem with one of them. built well though. Always have a back up with any amp is my philosophy.

Value:
Great value for a tube amp that rocks

Desirability:
Looks great

Sound:
Nice little amp. Plenty of volume. Basic features is enough for me. I just plug in and play using only the supplied footswitch and love it. You can achieve some cool vintage tones with this as well as some modern sounds. does blues and Punk very well. Great clean too. sounds great. love the dirty channel, sounds very old school. This amp will do AC/DC, Sabbath, Zepplin, Nirvana, Skynard with ease. Does the Surf thing pretty well too with a Strat. Im a full time gigger too and i should know. The controls do work good as opposed to some folks reviews. Works great with pedals but i dont use pedals.

Ease of Use:
Hmmm, I bought it new and there was no manual included. Did get a footswitch and cover though.

Support:
Great support!

Overall:
I will replace it one day with a new Twin Amp or maybe not. This amp weighs less.

"Fender Hot Rod Deluxe"

Feature:
This is a very straightforward amp. Key points to me are an FX loop, extra drive channel and a bright switch for the clean channel (very nice). The reverb sounds great, the hardware is good quality, and the stock tubes (GT 6L6 and AX-7s) lasted me a year and a half! The only problem is the master control. It gets loud VERY quickly, and then doesn't really get louder after about 4. This makes it sound a lot louder than other amps right away, but really it's not, and makes it hard to use as a practice amp. The best solution is to replace the linear taper master volume potentiometer with an audio taper one. Ta-Da! Excellent practice amp.

Quality:
Fender has made a very nice blues, country or classic rock amp. Quality parts, useful features, and a genuine Fender warranty.

Value:
This was my first tube amp for two reasons: 1. Because it sounded great and 2. Because it was in my price range!

Desirability:
Its a nice amp, but it's just another little amp. It's only a 1x12, so it won't do that great as far as sound distributiuon goes. Also the drive channels are only so-so, not for hard rock or metal. Its clean channel however, works great with pedals, so you can easily use a distortion pedal and get great sounds that way (the better the dry sound, the better a pedal will sound). I use an Ibanez TS-808 on the clean channel to get an AC/DC-ish sounding crunch, and through the dirty channel to sound more like GN'R.

Sound:
The clean sound is absolutely great. It is very warm and rounded, and doesn't cut your head off, but has lots of headroom. The dirty channels are nice, but could be better. I mostly use this amp for blues and some classic rock, but the overdrive is only really good for rhythym. It doesn't cut through the mix enough to use effectively for live lead parts.

Ease of Use:
Like I said, very straightforward, but touchy volume. Also it is heavier than you would expect from an amp its size, but better than lugging around big 4x12 cabs.

Overall:
All-in-all, this is a great amp if you use it for what it's made for. Check it out.
