eventually i want to get a marshall stack (when my band becomes rich and famous) till then, this amp is great. The clean sound is great. Eventually maybe i'll exeriment with different tubes to get a harder distortion but for now its great. jazz, blues, rock this amp does it all

Sound
The clean channel on this amp is excellent. I play alternative and hard rock-the drive channels arnt good for rythm guitar but really nice for lead or soloing. specialy the more drive channel. i havn't gigged with this amp yet (i've only had it for about a week) but i've practiced with my band. this amp is LOUD, i'm broke from buying the amp but i suggest getting a weber load dump. thats what i'm going to do as soon as i save up the money (75$). for now i run my digitech RP300 through the effects loop (for use as a volume pedal). Its not as good as the weber load dump but it'll do for now. I use my digitech for rythm distortion and use the amps drive for soloing, i suggest doing something like that if you're into hard rock or metal. the amp sounds great with pedals. The reverb on this amp is awsome. A+ I have it on around 2-3 all the time.

Features
Nothing fancy, simple but gets the job done. Presense control is an avantage and really helps getting a good sound. Bright button is also good. the pedal is really good because it allows you to switch between clean and more drive without having to press the drive button read more twice.

Quality
usual fender quality. I expect to grow old with this amp. Make sure you get a cover for this amp...so incase you do one day want to sell it, little cratches and stuff won't bring down its price. yeah, i know some people are just shallow like that.

Value
great price! a tube amp for this little. the only thing you have to take in account before you buy is the cost a weber load dump or a good distortion pedal, if you play the kind of music i do.

Manufacturer Support
I've never had to deal with fender, don't think i ever will. i purchased a two year warantee from guitar center just to be safe though.

The Wow Factor
I really like having the controls on top because then i don't have to crouch to adjust them.

Musical Style:
Alternative/Hard rock
