Feature:As mentioned above, I love the three XLR direct outs, phase switch, feed back control, tilt back cabinet, mute switch and the 1/4 inch aux input (use with my ipod for set breaks. Overall there are amps with more features, but all that are on this amp get used!
Quality:I have put this amp through the ringer during live shows, practices and transport. Every thing still works great.
Value:I thought that it was a little pricey, but after all of the use this amp gets, I feel it is well worth the investment.
Sound:I use this amp in a variety of live applications and it has not let me down. The sound is very good. The anti-feedback switch and phase controls work great to control feedback. I love the choice of three direct outs - one for each channel and one mixed post eq. I use this amp for small shows and practices on its own and use it as a monitor and XLR direct out when playing through the PA. - I connect my Gibson J-45 to channel one and use channel 2 for a vocal mic. i replaced my direct box and monitors and feel like I have more control over my sound. I do have to cut the mids and treble, but that is what eq controls are for.
Ease of Use:Very easy amp to use. The instruction manual includes nice suggestions for eq settings at different volume levels.
Support:Fishman really does have great customer support. I called an left a message with a question and got a phone call back within 15 minuets. You do not see that type of support these days.
Overall:If this amp were to be stolen or lost, I would have to get a new one immediately due to the impact on my overall acoustic guitar tone and due to the fact that it is an essential part of my guitar rig.
