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

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.

Features

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.

Manufacturer Support

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

The Wow Factor

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.
