Feature:
I plugged a second instrument into the mic channel and though that might not be the intended use, it works very well and sounded great.

Quality:
This amp seems to be pretty rugged like the old Fender amps were made.

Value:
I did alot of research before purchasing this amp and although there were cheaper amps in this category, this seemed to be the best quality for the money.

Sound:
I have tried this amp with my Ovation 12-String, mandolin, and two different resonator guitars. I was able to quickly find the sound I wanted without alot of fussing around. This amp produces a very natural warm sound. The highs are clean, but not brash.

Support:
I want to purchase the optional 2-button FX footswitch, but can't seem to find one. It isn't even listed (as far as I can tell) on the Fender web site. I contacted Fender (e-mail), and they said someone would get back to me in two-weeks or so...not exactly responsive. So far, this is the only complaint I have.

Overall:
If someone stole this amp, I would have to get another. This is the best my accoustic intruments have ever sounded in a live environment.

Feature:
How many acoustic amps offer this kind of variation in effects and eq, not to mention the optional Mic input, which sounds great. This amp has it all in one efficient little package.

Quality:
It seems pretty solid, the sounds quality and the components seem pretty good, I have been looking at this amp in store for several months, and when I got it home to have a closer look, it was all pretty exact to the specs, so you're not getting let down if you read up on this amp and know what you're getting into.

Value:
I really expected to pay a lot more for this amp, by the time taxes got to me, I was paying almost 2 grand for my Supersonic amp, mind you it is a tube amp, but still, to me this is easily and equal quality amp for its purpose, so I would have paid more if I had to.

Desirability:
Ive got this setup usually a few feet away from my Supersonic when playing... that is one sexy combo :p.

Sound:
I play through a Godin XTSA in the acoustic input, and use a diamond compressor so draw out the sring definition... wow. The combination honestly sound better then most real electric acoustics. The clarity and versatility of the acoustic sound on this amp is unbelievable, I was floored.

Ease of Use:
Like most of the other reviewers on here, I would like to be able to find a good working footswitch for this amp, but not such luck so far, other than that its a pretty straight foreward amp, plenty of options without any complex lingo, and I like that.

Support:
5 Year warranty is killer, but give me a foot switch !

Overall:
Couldnt ask for more, this is top notch, Ive been experimenting with various amps for a while, but I dont think I can get away from fender amps anymore, and this one just has me hooked. Ive tried a few others (roland, behringer,etc), and they just dont stand up in terms of quality and value. This amp is going to be with me forever. Theres nothing more satisfying than buying equipment and knowing its a permanent part of your setup.

Feature:
I like the expanded effects (DSP model) but I wish the footswitch (optional) had a control feature on it to select effects. You must pre-set the effect prior to the song and turn it on/off with the footswitch. The effects are better than original, but still not 100%. Choral, reverb, virbrato, delay, and multiples of those. I would love to have a fuzz just for kicks.

Quality:
great workmanship and good quality. I love the amp and wouldn't use any other brand for my acoustic guitar.

Value:
The original at approx $375 was a great value, but the DSP is about $475 and that is a little too much, given the extra features. I think $400 - $425 (internet pricing) would be a better value. The higher price may price it out of the market for some people. I was fortunate enough to buy a "blemished" model for a little under $400 and if it weren't for that, I probably would not have sold my old one and purchased the new one.

Desirability:
Very well known product.... Easily recognized as the premium acoustic guitar amp. Very sexy.

Sound:
First, I purchased the Acoustasonic 30 a few years ago. It was a great amp, but didn't quite have enough power for me so I sold it. Then I purchased the Acoustasonic Jr and loved it and used it for several years until I sold it to buy the DSP model last week and it sounds just as good as the original. Great for acoustic guitar and microphone, also, though I rarely use it with a mic. I have pushed two acoustic guitars through it though and it is a fantastic amp. Great sound. Easy to use, rarely have to set volume past 3 or 4 and if you send it through to a sound system, you don't need to push it more than 2 (and use it for a monitor).

Overall:
I don't think I'll ever replace this little baby..... Unless I go to the SFX model way way way in the future.

Feature:
It has everything i need a di out a effects loop, on the otherhand it is'nt loaded down with useless feature that add to the cost. but the feature you get are quality features they work there not cheesy.

Quality:
Here is something this amp has over many of the other contenders it's a true amp. it is a quality built to lat amp metal knobs metal inserts it is so refreshing to see an amp built like this these days. total quality construction built like a tank...

Value:
i beleieve this amp to be worth what i paid for it and even more. it sounds so rich and full, very expressive.

Desirability:
the way you like an amp to look is a personal opinion, my opinion on this amps ":sex appeal" well i love it's tweedish looks i mean if you are against brown\tans then go else where. but i love it! to me it's a beautiful thing. my heart races everytime i see her. hehe

Sound:
The Sound is very rich and full tons of bottom and top. the string dynamics knob takes you from awesome strumming to finger picking tones sure to please. crisp and crystal clear very fenderish tone, glassy and creamy. In a word it sounds beautiful. the amp itself is extremly quiet. no hum no buzz just dead quiet, until you touch a string then awesome tone thats very shapeable. if you can't make it sound good. 1.You may be tone deaf. 2.you can't turn a knob 3. should have waited to buy an amp and spent the money on more music lessons.

Overall:
Its a fender and it's built really well it has the fender tone and the tone is ultra shapeable...

Feature:
No accessories were included, I WISH it has a foot pedal, Headphone jack, RCA inputs for CD.

Quality:
I like the appearance, style and retro look of the unit.

Value:
Best in it's pricerange

Desirability:
Oh, it's def sexy!

Sound:
Sound quality is second to none!

Ease of Use:
Plug & play... it dont get no easier that that!

Support:
Dunno, Hope I never know.

Overall:
I went into my local XX to purchase either the Marshall AS50D, the AS100 or the 125W Crate Telluride, but my sales gent let me try this Acoustasonic Junior. By far it had the best sound & range of all the others within that price range in the store. ( I played a bunch too) I've been just givin it a whipping since I brought it home about 4 hrs ago, and guess what... Still works fine! So it's tough! The FX are awesome, and make the vocals sweet. There's a couple of things missing I wish it had... (headphone jack,CD input RCA's) But nothing I cant overcome. Overall I think it's the best buy in the price range out there.

Feature:
I like the removable power cord. It puts less stress on the cord when breaking down. I like everything but not having a foot switch, but I just wrote that because reading the other review I realized it didn't have one. I'm not sure I could use it but for over $500 bucks seems like a reasonable request. Love the kick back legs and reinforced corners and durable design.

Quality:
This amp is extremely rugged and durable. That's one reason I went with it again. I loaded gear for 5+ years and it sucks. It sucks more when the gear takes ugly hits while you think about how much dough you spent on it. The construction material, not sure what it is, is totally durable and solid.

Value:
I would buy this amp before any other amp. I just feel that way about it. Maybe an Ampeg if they made one, but I'm sticking with Fender.

Desirability:
This is the coolest amp ever made in my opinion. Many imitators but this Fender is the dealio. A lot of care and ingenuity went into this amp. That's why it's so popular.

Sound:
I love the way this amp sounds. I really meshes well with my Alvarez PD80S acoustic. It is now even more versatile with a variety of commonly used effects. Very nice, warm, tight sound. If you have to use an amp instead of mic'ing the guitar this one is great.

Ease of Use:
This amp is bulletproof. You can be up and playing in like 5 minutes. It's so easy to use it's ridiculous and it's so cool it's like a friend in the room. You enjoy interacting with it because it looks cool and does it's job without complaining day in and day out. Take good care and it'll be helping you do your thing for years to come.

Support:
Never needed any support...don't use the manuals much but I'm sure there is a downloadable .pdf if needed. There was one for the last one I had.

Overall:
Love the functionality and coolness factor of this amp.
