Feature:
The effects work good and sound good. I get a great blues tone with delay and reverb and Strat.

Quality:
The box is a little heavy seems well built. I did notice the pot shafts are plastic !

Value:
I paid $200 used at Guitar Center

Sound:
I bought it to use with my Ibanez EW20ASENT. Took it home and it sounded ok with the Acoustic but lots of string squeaks, I'm going back to coated strings. BUT I then tried my G&L Legacy (a Strat copy) WOW WOW WOW ! Stevie Rays clean sound and more! PLEASE TRY YOUR STRAT its amazing! The amp is not loud but its great in my living room sounds good

Ease of Use:
Plug and Play !

Support:

Feature:
Not sure how I feel about Delay on an Accoustic amp, but it's there if I feel inspired.

Quality:
Only have had it a month. So far so good.

Value:
Hate spending money, but can't complain

Desirability:
Fake brown vinyl isn't the most attractive, but now I'm older, I have a few wrinkles too.

Sound:
Using it with a Martin DC16RGTEAura. With the six Mic Mixes from the Aura,it sounds great. Haven't recorded with it yet, but have an old Teac 3340s Reel-to-Reel, and think I could do "John Barleycorn Must Die" all over again. Love the sound. Like to go clean but the chorus and reverb is irrisistible.

Ease of Use:
Used to drink a bit when we played. Still could have worked this baby.

Support:
Haven't needed any yet

Overall:
Again, after a month, I'm happy as a pig in mud so far.

GREAT LITTLE AMP

Value:
BEATS THE REST OF THE "HIGH" PRICED AMPS OUT THERE!

Desirability:
I LIKE THE VINTAGE LOOK OF THIS AMP.

Sound:
FOR THE PRICE OF THIS AMP, YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG. I PLAY A TAYLOR THROUGH THIS AMP, UNTIL "ROB TAYLOR" FINISHES HIS DESIGN ON HIS ACCOUSTIC AMP. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE ONE OF THE CLEANEST AMPS IN ITS CLASS!

Overall:
AS LONG AS IT LASTS!

Feature:
when I got mine it didn't come with anything. but the footswitch is awesome for it. the least useful feature I think is the phase, and the most useful feature would be the footswitch.

Quality:
fender makes the best accoustic amps. thats all that can be said about it.

Value:
fender amps gain in value as the age. for instance my dad bought a fender vibrolaux reverb tube amp back in the 60's for $200 cash brand new, and now he can sell it for 1500 +/- a little

Sound:
my father in-law has the acoustasonic sfxII, and we compared the sound quality of mine with his, now is blew mine away as far as volume goes, but the effects, and features are identical. I have his amp in a smaller package, basically. I don't use any of the effects other than the delay every now and then, cause I run a danelectro cool cat corus box, witch is the best chorus ever. when I run through my amp in my recording studio it's awesome. the effects are better than my roland recording station has. if you want a better chorus buy a danelectro cool cat and run it on the accoustic setting, and put the amps effects on the delay setting, this is the best I have found for 90% of the songs I play.

Overall:
I will be keeping this one, and buying the accoustasonic sfxII for bigger needs, but I will have this one for as long as I am around, and it will be with me where ever I play, even if I get the sfxII.

Feature:
The amp has a nice built in effects knob with Effects Level control. Some of the effects are a little sappy as they don't 'fit' with the accoustic but that is a matter of style. Like the vibratone. There is no 'rate' control, but thats ok. One of the nicer features is that it is very lightweight.

Quality:
The wedge shape makes it nice for my wife to access the controls while she is in a seated position. When we tried it out in our house the volume was adequate. When we practiced at the Dallas International Street Church, an 800 square foot approx. the amp really exhibited the lack of power. We turned it up all the way to 10 and it became a monitor for my wife, at best. I then took a guitar cord line out to line in on the power board. I do wish it had more power though. Like maybe 60 to 100 watts, but then we are well into another price range.

Sound:
The sound is warm and full. The amp is great in small rooms as it is 32 watts but there is always the line-out for additional power or to a mixing board. Nice effects. We just bought it and have only rehearsed with it once. I also have a mandolin but have not plugged it in to the amp yet. I also play sax so I am curious how it will sound with that. Probably OK.
