zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Well worth it"

Sound: Out of the box it sounds good. For surf music the clean channel is great. One thing. If you would like this to have more of a tube sound, get one of those little tube preamps (I use the cheapest ART) & hook it into the effects loop. With the pre you can get a sound very,very close to a reissue Twin Reverb. I don't use heavy distortion so my judgement of that aspect isn't the best. When I want some distortion, I usually just crank up the gain on the tube pre. Reverb is pretty good. It is, as so many people say, very loud. Plug it into a 4-12 cab (I use a Marshall) & you could use this sucker in a football stadium Feature: I like simple & this is it. Plug it in, turn it on & away you go!! A few minor adjustmens here & there with the simple tone & reverb & you're there. Ease of Use: See above Quality: Some people are a little nervous because it's made in China, but at least on mine everything was top notch. Quality wise it's as solid as any of the 12 other Fenders I've ever owned over the last 40 years. A friend dropped his out of the back of a van. The only damage was that the magnet on one of the speakers cracked but since it still worked fine he didn't notice it till the next day Value: For the price you can't go wrong. A friend compared this to an amp he bought for twice as much & this blows it out of the water. Manufacturer Support: Never need it for this but they have always been helpful in the past. The Wow Factor: The only thing appearance wise I would change is the grill cloth. I amkes it not look as much as a Fender. I changed mine from a roll of mid 60s Fender cloth & now it almost looks like it could be a vintage blackface Overall: Am my age (55) if it holds up over the years it could be the last guitar amp I ever buy to actually use on stage. Don't really like to risk taking my vintage late 50s to mid 60 amps.

"This is a great quality amp that can be used for all kinds of music. It is well built, relatively light (48 lbs.), easy to use,"

Sound: This amp sounds great. The sound will vary with the type of guitar used. My 71 Gibson SG sounds phenominal through this amp. Distortion is great, great highs and lows, clean channel is clear and crisp. Set the drive control to about 5 or 6, you won't need any more, especially if you you use the more drive, it will scream. This amp sounds great by itself, adding any effects just enhances the sound. The controls are very responsive, so take the time to dial in your sound. Feature: The more drive feature is superb, and it works great. The only other feature is the reverb, which is pretty good, and the mid contour which is also pretty good. There are no other features, and that is why I bought this amp. It is straight forward, no special effects, no fancy bells and whistles, it is relatively light in weight, it is simple to use, and it packs a hell of a punch!! What more do you need? Quality: This amp is made very well, very tight. The finish is beautiful and the fit is outstanding, like I said very tight. All the knobs fit well and are centered properly for fit, they don't wobble like some other amps that I have owned over the years. I have used this amp on the road, and have had no problems yet. If you take care of this amp, it will last along time. I think the factory quality control is excellent, and that comes from a person who has worked in quality control for 20 years! Value: This amp is worth at least twice its selling price, and that is what you will pay for another amp of this power and quality from competitors. This amp blows away all the other companies for price and quality. Manufacturer Support: So far I have not needed any support for this amp. Come to think of it I have never needed any support from fender on any of my amps, so that has got to tell you something about fender products. The Wow Factor: This amp looks great, I like the all black look with the black grill cloth. I think it has a very stylish look to it, and therefore has a very strong stage presence. Overall: I think I will be satisfied with this amp for a long time. I used my Music Man RD 50 for 20 years before I retired it to my music room. This amp is half the weight of my Fender twin Amp, and that is one of the main reasons I purchased it. If this were stolen, I would definately buy another one in a heartbeat.
