Quality:
Looks beautiful.

Value:
It's a small affordable amp.

Sound:
Sounds good. If you pick it up and move it while it's on, it makes a static like noise because of the spring reverb.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Don't even really need the manual.

Feature:
the reverb is ok, although a little lower quality than i'd expect from fender. great volume. lovin it.

Quality:
seems well made to me...i mean i didn't drop it or anything, but it felt solid, so, thumbs up yet again.

Value:
I'd say judging by the prices i've seen in stores, GREAT VALUE! BUY IT!

Desirability:
Its a black guitar amp. as if we don't see enough of these suckers nowadays. but yeah the silver fabric definitely looks good.

Sound:
It is a GREAT sounding amp. if my next door neighbour didn't go off to university, rest assured, i'd have it in my room for 4 years straight. its a blast to play. guitars i have used with it: Fender Strat - sounds INSANE, B.C. Rich Warlock Body Art Maggot Man: used my buddy's ME-50 processor. once again, sounds great. also, my acoustic guitar, a Takamine G530S, with a Dean Markley Promag Plus pickup ROARS with this little box.

Support:
never dealt with them...although i'm sure they're very nice people.

Overall:
I'd love it for a long time...until i get myself a Line 6 at least...those things rule...

Feature:
It has some good tone, and was very easy to use.

Quality:
i'll give it credit, i don't think i've heard better clean tone coming from a 15 watter!!!!

Value:
i wish that the distortion was better, if you're a blues fan, or want a good, clean sound, go with this thing.

Desirability:
what's so hot looking about it??????? i like the chrome on the fender logo, that's about it. it just looks like a fender amp!!!!!

Sound:
The clean channel, which fender specializes in, sounds incredible coming from this little amp......but the DISTORTION.....i swear i've had better farts that get more tone than this thing... it sounds like the speaker is about to fly across the room when i play something fast...like i said, fender dous a good job cleaning up the sound, not a bad amp for size, a little overpriced, not bad though.

Ease of Use:
LIke i said, the distortion is horrible.

Support:
havn't had many problems...yet

Overall:
I think if you're starting, this is a good buy... if you're and attempt to USE IT ON STAGE........your band's helpless!!!! LOL.

Feature:
distortion is sweet, but the reverb doesnt work at all, and there is no footswitch

Quality:
for this price I dont think you can do any better.

Value:
Very good value for what you get

Desirability:
if you need a good practice amp this is a good pick

Sound:
When I got this amp about a year ago the distortion worked fine, but the reverb had and still has absolutly no effect. Also when the distortion is turned to max it creates a staticy sound when not being played. other than that its a great practice amp.

Support:
Never used support.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
good features for the price, the reverb on my Chinese amp is excellent

Quality:
The amp is real high quality

Desirability:
I don't have the bucks for a big Fender tube amp and I could not handle the volume anyway. Even a 15 watt tube amp is to much for practice. Tube amps are much louder than transistor amps.

Sound:
This amps controls confused me because there are two drive knobs but one is labeled as volume. I had this amp for months before I figured out how to get a clean tone which sucks big time. I have the Chinese model with the silver grill and the excellent reverb built in. Stay clear of that Indonesia amp model. The Chinese amp is the one to buy. The amp sounds fantastic being played clean with both drive knobs turned low, it sounds like a real fender tube amp with my Jensen 8 inch mod speaker replacement. The amp has an oustanding clean tone but if your looking for any kind of distortion for heavy rock I would advise not to buy this amp.

Support:
5 year warranty

Overall:
The amp has a great clean tone. I recommend replacing the speaker with an Italian made Jensen MOD 8" inch model.
