Feature:
To tell you the truth, when I tested it out, I told the salesguy that I didn't expect to be interested in this amp, because I thought it would be to "clean" and not give me enough options for variety of sounds. I immediately realized I was wrong. This amp has everything I was looking for.
Quality:
I have not always played Fender products, but I've always felt they were top quality.
Value:
I think this is the best value I could have found. I don't really need this much power....this is a much better amp than I would have settled for, but the low cost made it unreasonable to purchase an inferior product for the same or more dollars.
Desirability:
I like the return to the original design. I had an opportunity to pay less for the same amp in the discontinued design, but I wanted this look. I don't think many people would say it's sexy, but I like it.
Sound:
I've been playing on and off for 45 years....classsic rock, blues, jazz, big band. I purchased this amp last week, and I love it. I think any adult player will be happy with the sound of this amp. The clean channel is great. The gain channel gives you an array of sounds, and you get to control how much bite you add. And if you need more effects, you'll save enough $ to get a couple of effects boxes. I'm really glad I bought this amp.
Ease of Use:
I purchased this amp on Friday, played a gig with it Saturday, and felt comfortable that I knew what it would do, and how to make it do it.
Support:
I've had several Fender products over the years. Now I have a Strat and a J-bass. I've never had to deal with technical support. But I do know there is a wealth of info online from the Fender site. For that reason, I'm giving it a 10.
Overall:
I do not expect to need another amp.

Feature:
It comes with a footswitch and power chord Fender even put velcro strap holders on the inside of the amp so you can strap them down when moving the amp. It has everything you need awesome clean, great reverb, driving gain, and a more drive feature which is a lead boost! Fender didn't leave anything out. For $329 this amp is a must. This is not a beginers amp but an amp everyone could use.
Quality:
This amp is built solid. If I could've rated it higher than a 10 I would have. For just $329 the quality is top grade. This amp is the biggest bang for the buck.
Value:
This amp is the best vaklue you could EVER find in a 2x12 100 watt amp. I don't think you could find a better amp at this price point. Seriously the greatest value out there.
Desirability:
This amp is a beauty. The Fender blackface looks is drop dead gorgeous!
Sound:
The tone this amp has you'd expect from amps costing hundreds of dollars more. The tone is priceless. The clean is CLEAN from sparkley glassy clean to chimey clean to thicker clean but bottom line is it stays clean no matter what. The reverb is great and I have heard uglier reverbs from amps costing way way more. The gain channel is amazing this amp gets down and dirty with the best of them. Oh yeah this amp is loud very loud. The sound this amp has at this price is a complete steal. This is a very good amp that has tone you'd expext from amps costing much more.
Ease of Use:
Plug and go it can't get easier than that!
Support:
Haven't dealt with them but I'll just assume it's a 10.
Overall:
For $329 it has everything a guitar player could want I do mean everything. The tone is unbelievable, the looks are amazing, and at this price how can you go wrong? Forget modeling amps get this amp.
