Feature:
It has enough but, it could have a mid EQ knob for the clean channels.

Quality:
I've had this amp for about half of a year and there is nothing wrong with it. It's is a sturdy build and has maintained it's sound and speaker quality after pushing it just a little too far :).

Value:
I payed very little money for this quality amp.

Desirability:
It doesn't look the sharpest but hey, don't judge a book by its cover. It sounds amazing.

Sound:
It's the bet sounding amp I have had. With a little knowledge on how to work the onboard EQ you can get a variety of quality sounds from this amp.

Ease of Use:
Extremely simple to use.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them yet because it works so fine. Voted 5 just because it's the even vote.

Overall:
I will probably have this amp as a practice amp until it breaks. I do plan on buying a half stack combo but that's just for live performance. This amp is a great practice/small jam amp.

Feature:
The features are very basic. Nothin specific.

Quality:
Very well made practice amp.

Value:
Not bad- a bit overpriced.

Desirability:
looks cool for a practice amp.

Sound:
This amp has a very "airy" distortion sounds which kinda sucks plus it gives a lot of feedback when using pedals. It makes a great practice amp, though.

Ease of Use:
Counldn't possibly be any easier.

Support:
I have a fender strat but upgraded to an Ibanez steve vai jem. Overall fender is pretty good.

Overall:
Good amp for practicing on only. NOT GOOD FOR ANY PERFORMANCES.

Feature:
Just a drive channel. Nothing special, I use effects pedals anyways. Drive is crisp, but gets distorted when played loud.

Quality:
Fender amps look and are made with great quality.

Value:
Excellent value for the money. I paid 300 canadian for this amp. Wouldn't want to spend the money on anything else.

Desirability:
Looks like an amp should. Quality upholstery and non resonant wood.

Sound:
This amp sounds amazing. One of the most fullest sounding amps ive heard besides a marshall cabinet. May be only 65 watts but it sure packs a punch.

Ease of Use:
Simple to use. Nothing required to setting it up.

Support:
Never dealt with them.

Overall:
If I ever buy another amp, it will be many years from now and probably a fender head and cabinet. I wont buy anything but fender amps from now on.

Feature:
This is a standard Amp. that gives decent features. Reverb is the only onboard effect which works well.

Quality:
I know Fender to make quality products, but this is exceptionally well done.

Value:
This is great for the price. I wouldn't pay more and I would say it's worth about 170$.

Desirability:
It looks very well built and clean, nothing fancy though.

Sound:
2 Channels - Clean/Drive. Clean works great with Effect Pedals. Drive is okay, but don't expect good metal sound.

Support:
I havn't needed to reach the company and I've own their products for years. All of them were satisfactory.

Overall:
This Amp is great for someone who doesn't need much loud sound although this Amp will get pretty loud.

Feature:
Pretty straightforward. If you need wacky effects, get a pedal, they're better.

Quality:
Fender hasn't been in business for decades by making crap...this one's well built.

Value:
For the money, this amp is awesome. I considered other more expensive products, but they didn't sound good enough to warrant spending hundreds more than what this one costs. I would've spent more on this if it had cost more, but I'm glad it was inexpensive.

Desirability:
Obviously nothing says Rock and Roll like a full Marshall stack, but this amp looks pretty tough, even if it's a little on the small side. I'm sure the 2x12 100W version looks even cooler.

Sound:
Amp sounds great, especially for the money. It gets a decent low end punch in the drive channel that works well for modern stuff, and the clean channel is great as well. This is definitely a rock amp. If your looking to play bluegrass, look again. It gets good power (you can get over a drummer just fine) but remains very portable, which is important to most of us who lack road crews and equipment vans.

Support:
Haven't needed support, but there's a 5 year warranty, which is good.

Overall:
Hopefully this will last me a long time, it's a well made product. Obviously I'll buy other things in the future. I mean, if I ever play Madison Square Gardens a 65 watt combo ain't gonna cut it. But for shakin' up the house, I'll stick with my FM 65
