Feature:
Absolutely LOVE the pedal...the mute button is an ABSOLUTE MUST...you never know when that feedback, high-pitch, make everyone piss their pants noise is gonna come JOLTING out...and with that mute button and the touch of your foot, IT'S A LIFE SAVER...

Quality:
this amp was designed by someone who obviously has been there and done that...and they didn't leave out any details...it's never let me down and i'm sure it never will; as long as i treat it with respect...

Value:
an all in one combo, you will never regret owning this amp...

Desirability:
i am golden brown myself with the same color scheme as this amp...let's just say that we compliment each other on stage...

Sound:
hello, my name is greg trevino and i am the "Texas Raised 3rd Coast Country Boy", PROUDLY from TEXAS !!! I play and sing full time and have been for quite a while now and ever since i purchased this amp combo, IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE...i get more excited now when i do a gig where as before, sometimes i'd turn a gig down...not anymore...I own and play a 'Takamine 6 string Acoustic' model # EAN10C...and let me tell you this guitar (Slick) with this amp is UNSTOPPABLE...i also own and sing through an 'AUDIX'OM2 DYNAMIC MIC...monster cables of course...i HIGHLY RECOMMEND this set up for anyone who plays live music and wants to fully satisfy the crowd...i also own and play a YAMAHA PSR E403 Keyboard through the amp as well...i've made lots and lots of money since i put this setup together...but the ACOUSTASONIC SFX II is what BRING IT ALL TOGETHER, to get you where you want to be...your HIGHLY SATISFIED customer, Greg Trevino...

Support:
not yet

Overall:
it's gonna take me, signing on to a major label and doing bigger venues, before i let this amp go...if it were ever to be stolen, i've got insurance on it, but i would definately go get the same EXACT amp, color and all...

Feature:
Only wish it had 2 XLR inputs on it.

Quality:
Oh Yea Baby! This is built like a German battleship. Very kewl vintage look. Us 60's boys like that.

Value:
Lot of bang for the buck!

Desirability:
What's to think about? It's a no-brainer. I listened to a lot of acoustic amps including the Marshall's and Fender beat it out in sound.

Sound:
Drench yourself in stereo imagery here. It almost gives one the impression when playing that you have a monitor in front of you. It simply blew me away.

Ease of Use:
Again, a no-brainer. If you can read English you will have no problem becoming acquainted with the control section of this amp.

Support:
Never have needed them.

Overall:
If your a solo act like me and are just plain fed up with lugging around enough equipment to power a 4 piece band then this is a solution solver. I know I been there and done that and I just needed a downsize resolution and this was it. Plenty of punch for what I do. Buy this and be happy for a lifetime.

Feature:
It includes a foot pedal but I have not opened it out of the packaging yet. I prefer to set the amp up as use it as is. I will probably check it out at some point but it is not that important to me.

Quality:
Highest quality sound and high quality compenents make this a great choice for me. I think the rich light brown enclosure with the ash blonde speaker cover makes this a way cool looking amp, reminescent of the ones they used to manufacture back in the 1950's.

Value:
You could not buy a better amp for this kind of money. I still can't believe how excellent the sound is for what it cost.

Desirability:
I own this unit

Sound:
This amp is awesome and absolutely incredible! The microphone input is direct and easy to use with a sound to please everyone. An interesting aspect is how the sound seems to surround you as you play as well as to those listening. This is without a doubt the finest amplifier I have ever owned for quality of sound.

Ease of Use:
The spinning dial to select the type of sound you want is very simple to use and easy to set up.

Support:
The company that sells this amp is just as responsive as the folks from Fender. In other words, excellent support.

Overall:
This will be my amp for ALL my gigs. You really don't need anything else as good as this one sounds.

only the pedal which is standard.it is very useful,especially the tuner mute switch.

Quality:
so far so good

Value:
yes it is to me,because they were the only ones that delivered what was advertised

Desirability:
it looks nice with the tweed color

Sound:
my wife noticed the difference in quality from what i was using before.this is far and away the best acoustic amp on the market,and i tryed them all before buying.genz benz had the closest 2nd with the shenandoah 200.the effects are decent especially for the price.the vocal channel is fine,which is what puts it above the others.for a solo artist this is perfect for small clubs, etc.

Support:
no but this is fender who has the best record.

Overall:
this is my last amp because i only do solo gigs now,so i dont need anything else

Feature:
Only one channel has XLR input . . . Needs one on both channels, as it is with most amps in this price range. When you use the XLR for a mic for vocals, you do not have the option of using it for a Taylor ES guitar whose built in preamp is designed for balanced input. No parameteric equilization . . . Wish it had the ability to change depth and rates of effects independently . . . String dynamics is a nice feature.

Quality:
Fit and finish is good. No blems . . . Looks good. Have not used it enough to determine how dependable it will be.

Value:
At par with comparable offerings.

Sound:
The SFX is a unique amp in ways capable of very nice sound. The "Sound Field Expansion" feature is unique in its ability to fill the room with rich sound . . . However, the amp is easy to drive into distortion, especially when DSP is in use. You have to run the master volume at very high levels backing off on the gain on each channel to avoid distortion when effects are used. Works reasonably well with a mic for a guitar and vocal gigging rig for small venues. The ability to adjust the level of FX is there, but the rate and blend of combined effects are fixed . . . That is an issue at times.

Support:
No

Overall:
Relooking now . . .

Feature:
The tuner out is awesome and like I mentioned, the direct outs are really what the original sfx was missing. The pedal with the SFX2 makes it easy for me to mute and change guitars with out popping the amp or going out of my way to turn it down.

Quality:
I love the vintage look of it. It is very sturdy and I look forward to putting it to the test lugging it from club to club.

Value:
There is not a acoustic amp I have seen that can compare to the tones.

Desirability:
The 300 degree sound the acoustasonic is by far the most appealing to me. You can sit to the side of it and swear you are running in stereo. With DSP and SFX technology you cant go wrong.

Sound:
I had the original SFX, my only complaint was no line out. I am in an acoustic band and the other guitarist was so in love with my sound, he tried to buy an SFX. With no avail, he went with the SFX2. A little skeptical about the smaller 6 inch sideways speaker I might add. I was amazed how much cleaner it sounded, I went the next day and got one. I had to drive 6 hours to get one. I played the same night with it, it was amazing.

Support:
I have dealt with Fender in the past about support and they are awesome, I am sure nothing has changed and If I have to deal with them again, I know I will be satisfied.

Overall:
I have no complaints about the SFX2 at all. I mayt buy another just to keep at home and one for the club, studio, and rehearsals.

Feature:
ENOURMOUS amount of effects for an acoustic amp, and a foot switch is included.

Quality:
It's fender, so it--by default--has a 5 years warranty. Love it.

Value:
Easily worth the money.

Desirability:
If you play acoustic and sing, try this out. You will LOVE it.

Sound:
Love this thing's tone. Warm, clean. I use it both for gigs and in my home studio--it's a great all around amp for solo acoustic performance or with a band: the tone is warm and intimate enough for a coffee house show, but it has the punch needed for a band.

Support:
No idea, have never had to call.

Overall:
Get it. Now.
