"Boutique amp at a bargain price"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Overall, this amp fits my needs perfectly. Its a loud 60 watt amp and handles the lows from my Fender active jazz bass, even at high volumes. Great cleans and nice overdrive.
Sound
Clear lows (no mud!) and nice highs without being brittle.
Features
Vintage looks and sound with modern features such as effects loop, high and low inputs and two channels. It also handles an 8 ohm extension cab.
Quality
Solid build quality. Laquered tweed covering is nice to look at. The AlNiCo Blue speakers are absolutely awsome.
Value
$825.00 is a bargain for this amp.
Manufacturer Support
I rate it a ten even though I never needed technical assistance from Fender for any of their products (I own several Fender amps, guitars and basses)
The Wow Factor
It looks great and sounds great with my guitars and my basses.

"an amazing amp!!! thats all i can say"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
once the speaker gets replaced i will love it beyond any doubt!
Sound
ok well i just got this in from an order and am amazed by it except for one thing...the tone, volume, distortion, and everything about it is amazing except mine has a bad cone in one of the speakers. it seems like the paper on the cone isnt pulled tight enough which is causing a rattle. im sure this is just a bad speaker and not a charicteristic of the amp so i wouldnt be worried about it.. all i can say is WOW its an amazing amp!!!
Features
it came with the tweed covering and a two button foot switch which both work wonderfully
Ease of Use
couldnt be easier... great instructions and very simple...turn the knob and it gets louder!
Quality
everyother deville i've seen are great i think i just got a bad speaker thats all and im sure fender will replace it no questions asked..or well they better lol
Value
a bargain...the cometing amps are half stacks and cost tons more than this amp...only 830 bucks and can blow away most tube half stacks
Manufacturer Support
cant really rate this one...ive sent and email to them but they havnt open yet so i dont know what their support will be but im sure it will be fine!
The Wow Factor
it looks amazing the tweed cover is retro and awesome couldnt get a better looking amp.

"Yokel loves Blues DeVille"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
See above.
Sound
This amp has a wide range of sounds from clean to bluesy to crunchy/overdriven. Sometimes I have trouble getting the Equalization to be clear enough (for my guitar) and the Presence Control is confusing as appears to add more Treble.
Features
This 2-channel, reverb amp has all of the features I need.
Ease of Use
As stated under Sound, the Presence control is confusing. Additionally, the Master Volume is not very linear. Between 1 and 2 you go from inaudible to deafening and I usually can't take it above 2 (out of 12)!
Quality
This amp has taken a beating. I would suggest casters unless you are Lou Ferrigno though, as it is very heavy!
Value
I purchased this amp used from a music store for $500, which to me was well worth it. At nearly $900 new, though, I would never purchase this amplifier.
Manufacturer Support
N/A
The Wow Factor
This amp has a cool retro look, provides enough firepower to play almost any venue, and gives me all of the sounds I'm looking for. I can't ask for much more than that.
