I want to be buried with it! I have a bigger amp for small venues. I would replace it in a heartbeat. I would not change a thing on it!
Sound
This little amp is very versatile and loads of fun to play with. I got this amp to practice and hone my chops as well as home recording. I use a Fender Precision and an Ibanez SR300F with it and particularly love the 59 Bassman sounds as I am an old geezer of 62!
Features
It comes with the software(download), a basic instruction manual and a USB cord. You need to buy a footswitch if you are so inclined. The build quality seems very good.
Ease of Use
For all you young whippersnappers this amp should be easy to use. I started out on a 57 P Bass and a Fender Bandmaster many years ago and I got the hang of it fairly quickly.
Quality
Fit and finish are nice and it has serious balls for a little amp!I am impressed.Take decent care of it and you should get a lifetime of use. I will get a cover as I like my gear to retain good looks as well as musical capability.
Value
Hell yes! What a great little amp for 250 clams!
Manufacturer Support
Fender has always been A-OK with me!
The Wow Factor
It's cute, sounds great, and is flexible. Just remember you metalheads, it's a practice and recording amp-not a thermo nuclear warhead!
