"Great mid sized amp! Worth a look."

Sound: Great Fender clean. I dont use the gain much but its ok. I use with Digitech RP and get the sounds I want. Reverb is best left off. Feature: Has a foot switch, but never use it. Works when I did, but I stay on clean. Ease of Use: Very simple and strait forward. Thats what I liked about it. No frills, no digital effects, thats what stomps and effects are for. Quality: Mine is built like a tank. It takes its bumps and never lets me down. Its solid state, so no worries. Wipe it down every few weeks and it looks great. Value: Just get it. You wont regret it. It is surprising loud for a 65 watt amp and can punch through bass and drums. Sound will begin to break- down if you get too loud, but that goes with any audio equip. I use mine for practice and small gigs. Manufacturer Support: I will have to say I don't know because it has never let me down. Everything I own is Fender and if there ever is a problem, my local dealer doesnt hesitate to help. The Wow Factor: Looks good. Fender quality. Overall: I plan on using this amp until it can no longer make noise. If it broke or was stolen, I would replace it right away no question.

"Best Combo Amp For 200 Bucks Today!"

Sound: The sound of this amp is IMO, the best that I've heard in a long time. I used to have a Fender Princeton 65 which I had bought in 1998 and had until 2007, and this amp aside from the contour switch, is the spitting image tone wise, of that same amp. Tha clean channel has that classic Fender tone, while the gain channel is perfect for classic rock and blues, while the contour switch allows for a wide myriad of tones going all the way to Heavy Metal. This is one great sounding amp. Feature: I love the classic Blackface look with the silver Fender logo in the left hand corner, and the single button footswitch cries retro while at the same time, is a welcome addition for the amp's price. I'm 50 years old and for the last 2 years, I've been using a Crate GTD 120 combo which weighs a ton. The weight of this amp (32 lbs.) is such a welcome relief on my back and makes transporting it much easier. For a 65 watt combo, this sucker is very LOUD!!!!!! Ease of Use: Within 5 minutes I had this amp set up to my personal liking. It's not rocket science y'know! Quality: I had my old Fender Princeton 65 from 1998 to 2007, and the only reason I changed was because it had gotten stolen after a gig. I have no doubt if I still had it today, it would still be kicking, therefore I have no worries about this amp as well. Fender has always made top notch gear IMO. My main guitar is a 2006 MIM Sunburst Strat which has stood by me and looks just as new as it was the day I bought it, 3 years ago. I baby all of my gear, so dependability is not a issue here. I have no doubt that I could use this amp at a gig without any issues at all. Value: This is the best solid state combo amp out there today for it's price. Where else can you get a 65 watt amp w/ a footswitch for 200 bucks with the Fender name on it? Manufacturer Support: I've always been on good terms with Fender's customer support, plus I already registered the amp online and I do have a pretty good warranty, providing I keep my reciept. The Wow Factor: It's a Fender, need I say more? Overall: I would definately replace this if anything happened to it.

Style of Music: Classic rock
